What it is

Runway can change its terms at any time by posting updated terms on its website, and continuing to use the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

This analysis describes what Runway's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes a unilateral modification mechanism that allows the service provider to alter the contractual terms governing the relationship without requiring mutual agreement or advance notice beyond posting on the website. The provision makes continued service access contingent on acceptance of any modified terms.

Interpretive note: Whether continued use constitutes valid acceptance of material term changes may depend on jurisdiction, the nature of the change, and whether adequate notice was provided, particularly for EU users under GDPR consent standards.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Runway updates its terms in ways that affect your rights, including data use, billing, or arbitration provisions, you are treated as having accepted those changes by continuing to use the platform, unless you stop using the service before the changes take effect.
