Shopify can change these Terms at any time just by posting updates on their website, and simply continuing to use Shopify means you've agreed to the new terms — even if you didn't know they changed.
Merchants can be bound by materially different legal terms — including more restrictive AUP provisions, higher fees, or changed arbitration terms — without ever receiving direct notice or actively consenting.
The combination of unilateral modification rights and implied consent through continued use means the effective terms of your Shopify agreement can change without you realizing it, potentially affecting your arbitration rights, data rights, or fee obligations.
