This provision establishes procedural constraints on Harvey's unilateral modification authority and creates a contractual termination right tied to adverse term changes. The absolute restriction on unilaterally modifying confidentiality, data, and security provisions without written authorization is a defined limit on Harvey's update authority that differs from a standard unilateral modification clause.
Under this clause, customers receive a 15-day notice period before most material term updates take effect, and retain a termination right with prepaid fee refund if they cannot resolve concerns about an adverse update. The terms authorize Harvey to make non-material changes, new feature updates, and legally required changes without the 15-day notice requirement.
