This provision establishes that Uber can update the contractual terms governing service use without obtaining affirmative re-consent from users, with continued use of the platform treated as acceptance. The mechanism by which users are notified of changes is described as posting on the website or app rather than direct communication.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the continued-use consent mechanism for material changes may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in EU and UK markets where consumer contract modification requirements are more prescriptive.
Under this clause, Uber may modify these terms at any time by posting updates, and continued platform use following a modification constitutes agreement to the updated terms. Users who disagree with changes would need to discontinue use of the services.

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in digital consumer contracts interact with FTC guidance on deceptive practices and with EU Directive 93/13 on unfair terms in consumer contracts, which may limit the enforceability of broad unilateral modification rights in EU member states. UK consumer contract regulations impose similar constraints. California's consumer protection framework under the UCL may also apply. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The notice mechanism of posting on the website or app, without requiring direct notification to users, may not satisfy regulatory requirements for material changes to consumer contracts in certain jurisdictions. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK jurisdictions impose restrictions on unilateral modification of consumer contracts, particularly where changes are material and users are not given adequate notice and opportunity to exit. California and New York have also addressed unilateral modification rights in standard-form consumer contracts. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business accounts relying on specific contractual terms should monitor for modifications and assess whether enterprise agreements include separate amendment procedures with more defined notice requirements. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether Uber's current notification practices for term changes satisfy applicable regulatory requirements across all active jurisdictions, and whether the continued-use consent mechanism is adequate for material changes such as modifications to the arbitration clause.
