What it is

Marqeta may unilaterally modify most terms with a minimum of 30 days' written notice, with modifications becoming effective upon continued use of the services after the Modification Effective Date. Amendments to core sections including intellectual property, confidentiality, termination, indemnification, insurance, liability, and service levels require Customer's affirmative consent unless driven by legal or regulatory compliance needs.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Marqeta to alter operational, pricing-adjacent, and service-related terms with 30 days' notice without Customer's consent, while protecting a defined set of core legal provisions from unilateral amendment. Continued use of the services after the Modification Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the modified terms for non-protected sections.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement authorizes Marqeta to modify most service terms with 30 days' notice, and establishes that Customer's continued use of services after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Modifications required by applicable law, Card Brand Rules, or Issuer directives may take effect upon notice without the 30-day minimum period.
