Microsoft can change the rules of your agreement at any time — your only option if you disagree is to stop using all Microsoft services. Continued use of services like Copilot or OneDrive counts as agreement to any new terms.
This analysis describes what Microsoft Copilot's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This clause establishes the mechanism by which the agreement remains dynamic rather than static, allowing the service provider to alter contractual terms without renegotiation. It places the burden on users to monitor for modifications and affirmatively discontinue use if they do not consent to new terms.
Microsoft can unilaterally change how it uses your Copilot prompts, OneDrive data, or subscription terms, and your continued use of any Microsoft service — even just checking email in Outlook — will be treated as acceptance of the new terms.

"We may change these terms at any time, and we'll tell you when we do. Using the services after the changes become effective means you agree to the new terms. If you don't agree to the new terms, you must stop using the services and cancel any subscriptions.— Excerpt from Microsoft Copilot's Microsoft Copilot Terms of Service
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages EU Directive 93/13 on unfair contract terms (Art. 3 and Schedule para. 1(j)) which identifies unilateral variation clauses as potentially unfair; UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 s.62 on unfair terms; GDPR Art. 7(3) which requires that withdrawal of consent be as easy as giving it (relevant where consent is the lawful basis for data processing); and FTC Act Section 5 where unilateral modification without meaningful consent constitutes a deceptive practice. EU national consumer protection agencies are primary enforcement authorities in their jurisdictions.
