ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
