What it is

The agreement states that Lyft may change, delete, or add terms at any time, and that continued use of the platform after modifications constitutes binding acceptance of the updated terms.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that modifications to the agreement become binding through continued platform use without requiring affirmative re-consent, which may interact with consumer protection requirements in certain jurisdictions regarding notice and consent for material contract changes.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of modification by continued use depends on whether adequate notice of changes is provided, which is not specified in the quoted language and may vary by jurisdiction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the terms governing Lyft platform use may be changed at any time, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of those changes. Users who do not agree to modifications would need to cease using the platform, as the agreement does not provide an opt-out mechanism for non-material modifications for Riders.
