What it is

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

Spotify may modify these Terms by providing notice through reasonable means, including posting to the service, with supplemental notice for material changes. Continued use of the Spotify Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Premium subscribers who do not accept updated terms must close their account before their renewal date or within thirty days of the effective date, whichever is earlier.

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

This provision establishes that continued use of the Spotify Service following any terms update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, and sets a specific thirty-day or renewal-date window for premium subscribers to exit without being bound by updated terms. The mechanism for material changes includes email and in-service notification, but the standard for what constitutes a material change is not defined in the document.

We may make changes to these Terms (including any additional Spotify terms and conditions incorporated by reference herein) from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the revised Terms on the applicable Spotify Service (provided that, for material changes, we will seek to supplement such notice by email, an in-service pop-up message, or other prominent notice within the Spotify Service, or other means). Your use of the Spotify Service following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. Premium Subscribers who do not wish to continue using the Spotify Service under the updated Terms must close their Spotify account prior to their renewal date or thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, whichever occurs first.
