This clause establishes the operational framework governing term modifications and service access continuity. It designates the website as the authoritative source for current terms and establishes continued use as the acceptance mechanism, while reserving unilateral authority to modify service availability without notification requirements.
Users operate under terms that may be unilaterally modified without advance notice, with acceptance triggered by continued service use rather than affirmative action. Service access may be suspended or terminated at the provider's discretion without stated cause or advance notification.
