This provision establishes that continued use of the services following a policy modification constitutes acceptance of updated terms, and that the notice obligation for material changes is qualified by the term 'attempt,' which does not guarantee advance notice will be delivered in all circumstances.
Previously, Shein asked users to explicitly agree or disagree with account persistence for future logins. The updated terms remove this choice entirely. Instead of a consent decision, users now see a promotional discount offer in that location. This means users lose direct control over whether Shein maintains their login session across device visits, which affects convenience and privacy preferences around authentication persistence.
