ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes Plaid's authority to alter the contractual relationship between the parties without requiring affirmative agreement from users. The operational significance is that the terms governing service access and use remain subject to modification throughout the service relationship, with notice and continued use serving as the acceptance mechanism.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operate under terms that may be modified by Plaid at any time, with the effect that service terms in force at any given point may differ from those previously agreed to. The provision makes continued use of the platform the mechanism by which users accept any modifications Plaid implements.
