This provision establishes a unilateral amendment mechanism that does not require affirmative Customer re-acceptance; continued use of the Service after the 30-day notice period constitutes acceptance of modified terms, requiring Customer procurement and legal teams to monitor posted agreement changes on an ongoing basis.
Under this clause, updated agreement terms become effective 30 days after notice is posted to the Linear website, and the agreement does not require Customer to affirmatively accept the changes. Customers who do not agree with revised terms retain the right to decline renewal of their subscription.

"Linear may also unilaterally modify the terms of this Agreement by notifying you at least thirty (30) days prior to such changes taking effect and posting such changes at https://linear.app/terms.Excerpt from Linear's Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral amendment clauses in B2B SaaS agreements may require evaluation under applicable consumer protection frameworks, including FTC Act unfair or deceptive practice standards, particularly where the Customer base includes small businesses or individuals. EU-based Customers may also evaluate this clause under applicable contract law standards governing material amendments. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision authorizes modification of any term in the Agreement with 30 days' notice and website posting, without requiring affirmative re-acceptance. This creates an ongoing contractual monitoring obligation for enterprise procurement teams and may conflict with internal change management or vendor governance requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: In certain EU member states and UK jurisdictions, unilateral amendment rights in standard-form B2B contracts may face scrutiny under unfair contract terms legislation, particularly where the scope of permissible changes is not limited. California and other US states may also apply unconscionability analysis to broadly stated unilateral amendment rights. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should assess whether this provision aligns with their vendor contract standards, particularly in regulated industries where contractual changes may trigger internal approval workflows or require regulatory notification. The provision does not limit the subject matter of permissible amendments beyond the separate restriction in Section 11.3 that Linear will not materially decrease the core functionality of the Service. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should establish a process to monitor agreement changes posted at https://linear.app/terms and evaluate whether any posted modifications trigger internal contract amendment, DPA update, or regulatory notification obligations.
