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.
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.

"Lyft reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including by changing or deleting existing terms or by adding new ones, and such modifications shall be binding on you upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. Continued use of the Lyft Platform after modifications to this Agreement shall constitute your acceptance of such modifications.Excerpt from Lyft's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Modification by continued use provisions engage state consumer protection statutes and contract formation principles, particularly in California where courts have evaluated whether browsewrap and clickwrap modification mechanisms provide adequate notice. The FTC Act may be implicated if modifications to material terms are not adequately disclosed before taking effect. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The absence of a stated advance notice period before modifications take effect, combined with the continued-use acceptance mechanism, creates contract formation and consumer protection exposure in jurisdictions that require affirmative consent or reasonable notice for material term changes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California courts have scrutinized modification-by-continued-use mechanisms for adequacy of notice, particularly where modifications affect arbitration provisions or consumer financial obligations. EU consumer contract law may impose additional notice and consent requirements for material changes. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Lyft Business services governed by a separate direct contract should confirm whether their agreement is subject to the same modification mechanism or whether a separate change-in-terms notice procedure applies. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Lyft's change notification practices, including any in-app or email notice sent before modifications take effect, satisfy applicable state and federal consumer protection standards. The arbitration opt-out right for drivers upon Agreement revision is a specific carve-out that should be operationally tested for accessibility.
