What it is

Grammarly can change the rules at any time. If you keep using the service after they notify you of changes, you automatically agree to the new terms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Grammarly can unilaterally modify data use rights, liability terms, or arbitration provisions at any time with notice only by email or in-app alert, and your continued use of the service automatically binds you to the updated terms without requiring any affirmative re-consent.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Grammarly can expand what it does with your data or change your rights simply by posting a notice — and your continued use is treated as consent, even if you missed the notification.

View original clause language
We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make a change that we believe materially impacts your use of the Services or your rights, we'll notify you of the changes by sending you an email, notifying you through the Services, or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after we have posted revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral contract modification clauses are subject to GDPR Art. 7(3) which requires that withdrawal of consent be as easy as giving it, and Art. 13/14 transparency obligations requiring clear notice of material changes. Under CCPA §1798.130, material changes to data practices require updated disclosure. FTC Act Section 5 applies to deceptive change-of-terms practices. EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive Art. 3 may render unilateral modification clauses unfair if they create significant consumer detriment. (2)
