We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy from time to time. If we materially change these terms or if we are legally required to provide notice, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. However, we may not always provide prior notice of changes to these terms (1) when those changes are legally required to be implemented with immediate effect, or (2) when those changes relate to a newly launched service or feature. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any of these changes, you may close your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date.
