ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
