Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that SIE may amend the Terms and that continued use of Services constitutes acceptance of amendments, without requiring affirmative re-consent. The mechanism applies to all material changes to the agreement, including changes to dispute resolution, data practices, and content license terms.

Interpretive note: Whether continued-use acceptance constitutes sufficient informed consent for material amendments, particularly to arbitration or data provisions, may vary by jurisdiction and applicable regulatory guidance.
