ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes Squarespace's unilateral authority to alter contractual obligations without requiring separate affirmative consent, with notice provided through website posting and optional additional notification methods. The mechanism ties acceptance to ongoing service use rather than explicit user action.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operate under terms that may be modified by the provider, with the modified terms becoming binding upon continued use of the Services. The provision does not require users to review updates or take affirmative steps to accept changes—acceptance is established through service continuation.
