This provision establishes the mechanism and timeline by which the contractual agreement between OpenAI and users may be unilaterally altered. It creates an operational requirement for advance notification of material modifications while permitting service terms to evolve without requiring affirmative user re-consent beyond continued service use.
Users operate under Terms of Use that may be modified by OpenAI prospectively upon notice. The clause establishes that users must either accept modified terms through continued use or discontinue service; it does not require affirmative acceptance or provide an opt-out mechanism for modified terms beyond service discontinuation.
