The ability to change terms unilaterally without requiring affirmative re-consent means the obligations and rights you agreed to when you first used the service can shift without your explicit approval.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of unilateral modification for material terms such as arbitration clauses depends on the adequacy and conspicuousness of notice provided, which varies by jurisdiction.
McDonald's reserves the right to modify its terms, including dispute resolution and data-related provisions, and treats your continued use as acceptance of those changes, which may affect rights you held under the previous version of the agreement.

"Our Terms and Conditions have changed. Please take a moment to review the new McDonald's Terms and Conditions by selecting the link. These include updates to our age requirements and the arbitration and dispute resolution process. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the revised Terms & Conditions agreement.— Excerpt from McDonald's's McDonald's Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses are generally enforceable under US contract law if adequate notice is provided, but courts have applied scrutiny when modifications affect material terms such as arbitration clauses or liability limitations. The FTC may evaluate whether unilateral modification mechanisms create unfair or deceptive conditions, particularly where changes are not communicated in a timely or conspicuous manner. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to medium. The clause is standard in consumer digital agreements, but the combination of unilateral modification with a continued-use acceptance mechanism for arbitration terms creates moderate enforceability risk, particularly in consumer-protective jurisdictions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California and New York courts have set standards for adequate notice of material term changes. EU and UK users may be subject to consumer contract regulations that restrict the scope of unilateral modification clauses. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendors and partners accessing McDonald's digital infrastructure should be aware that the terms governing end-user interactions may change without their direct involvement, which could affect downstream liability or data processing obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should maintain a version history of terms changes and audit whether notice mechanisms for material updates satisfy applicable standards in key jurisdictions. Consider whether the current banner-based notice approach is sufficient or whether enhanced notification methods such as email alerts or in-app prompts would reduce legal exposure.
