This clause establishes the procedural mechanism by which Snapchat may alter the contractual obligations, rights, and conditions governing service provision. It shifts the burden of affirmative rejection to users while establishing notice requirements scaled to the materiality of proposed changes.
Users operate under terms that may be unilaterally modified by Snapchat, with acceptance occurring through continued use rather than affirmative consent. Material changes trigger advance notice requirements, while non-material changes or urgent modifications may take effect immediately or with abbreviated notice periods.

"This also means we may need to update these Terms to reflect any changes to our Services or how we provide them, as well as to comply with legal requirements, or for other legal or security reasons. If those changes to these Terms are material we will provide you with reasonable advance notice (unless changes are required sooner, for example, as a result of a change in legal requirements or where we are launching new Services or features). If you continue to use the Services once the changes come into effect, we will take that as your acceptance.— Excerpt from Snapchat's Snapchat Terms of Service
