This provision establishes PayPal's authority to modify agreement terms without user consent and specifies the procedural requirements governing such modifications. The notice and timing requirements create operational checkpoints for the amendment process but do not condition effectiveness of changes on user acceptance.

Continued use of the service following the effective date constitutes acceptance of revised terms.
