This provision establishes a unilateral modification mechanism under which updated AUP restrictions apply to existing users without affirmative consent, contingent only on continued use of the Services after posting or notice of changes.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify the form or timing of notice that will be provided before changes take effect, leaving open the question of what constitutes adequate notice for purposes of binding users to revised terms.
Under this clause, Perplexity may update the categories of prohibited conduct or other AUP terms at any time, and the agreement treats continued use of the Services as acceptance of any revised terms. The document does not specify a notice period or the form of notice that will be provided before changes take effect.

"Changes to This Policy. We may modify this Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Your continued use of the Services following the posting or notice of any changes will mean you accept those changes.Excerpt from Perplexity AI's Perplexity Acceptable Use Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts may interact with FTC standards for unfair or deceptive practices, particularly where material changes are made without adequate advance notice. EU consumer protection law, including the Unfair Contract Terms Directive, may limit the enforceability of unilateral modification clauses in consumer-facing agreements. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Unilateral modification of AUPs is standard industry practice, but the absence of a specified notice period or notice format creates uncertainty about when users are deemed to have accepted changes. Enterprise and developer users whose business workflows depend on specific AUP permissions should monitor for changes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU consumer protection law imposes constraints on unilateral contract modification that may limit enforceability in EU/EEA jurisdictions. California and other US states may apply consumer protection standards that require adequate notice before changes bind consumers. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise and API agreements should specify whether this AUP modification provision applies to negotiated enterprise terms or only to standard platform users. B2B contracts should address notification obligations and provide for a review period before new AUP restrictions become effective. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Enterprise and developer users should implement monitoring processes to detect AUP changes and assess their impact on existing deployments. Organizations with workflows that depend on specific AUP permissions should maintain documentation of the AUP version in effect at the time of agreement execution.
