"Grubhub reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.Excerpt from Grubhub's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts engage state consumer protection laws and the FTC Act. Some jurisdictions require affirmative consent to material amendments rather than passive acceptance through continued use. The European Union's Unfair Contract Terms Directive may treat unilateral modification clauses as unfair where the grounds for modification are not specified. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The clause's self-referential definition of materiality, where Grubhub determines what constitutes a material change, creates uncertainty for users seeking to evaluate whether a given amendment requires their affirmative response. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California and several other states have consumer protection frameworks that may limit the enforceability of unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts where affirmative consent is not obtained. EU consumer protection law may require that modification clauses specify the grounds and mechanism for changes. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business users relying on Grubhub's platform for commercial operations should monitor for term changes that may affect their marketplace participation, commission structures, or operational requirements, as modifications may take effect with as little as 30 days notice. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the continued use acceptance mechanism for modified terms satisfies affirmative consent requirements under applicable law, and should maintain a changelog of prior term versions for reference in disputes.
