This clause establishes the mechanism by which Microsoft may alter the contractual relationship without mutual agreement, with service continuation serving as the binding acceptance mechanism. It places the burden of affirmative action (service discontinuation or account closure) on the user to reject modified terms.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of constructive acceptance through continued use for material amendments may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in EU and UK consumer law contexts where affirmative consent requirements may apply.
Users operate under terms that may change during their service relationship, with the revised terms becoming binding upon continued use rather than requiring separate consent. To avoid acceptance of modified terms, users must affirmatively discontinue service use, cancel subscriptions, and close their account.
