What it is

Runway can change these Terms of Use at any time without asking for your explicit agreement — simply continuing to use the service means you accept whatever new terms have been posted.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' rights and obligations under this agreement can be altered at any time by Runway without explicit consent, with continued use constituting automatic acceptance — creating ongoing legal uncertainty for users who do not monitor terms changes.

View original clause language
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, Company will make a new copy of the Terms of Use available at the Website and any new Supplemental Terms will be made available from within, or through, the affected Service on the Website. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any change(s) after such change(s) have been made, you shall stop using the Services. Otherwise, your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s).

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification clauses are subject to contract law unconscionability doctrines, FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices), and GDPR Art. 7(3) (which requires that consent be as easy to withdraw as to give — incompatible with 'continued use equals consent' for material changes). California consumer protection law (UCL, Bus. & Prof. Code §17200) and EU consumer protection directives (2011/83/EU, 93/13/EEC) impose fairness requirements on standard-form contract modifications.
