ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision creates a mechanism for automatic acceptance of agreement modifications without affirmative user consent. It shifts the burden of action to users who disagree with changes, requiring account closure as the alternative to continued operation under amended terms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operate under the governing terms as modified by PayPal, with the terms applying as written upon any continued service use following amendments. Users who wish to reject modifications must affirmatively close their account rather than continue under prior terms.
