Udemy can change these terms at any time, and if you keep using the platform after being notified, you are treated as having agreed to the new terms.
This analysis describes what Udemy's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision establishes the mechanism and conditions under which the contractual agreement between the user and Udemy can be altered without separate negotiation or explicit re-consent. It allocates the authority to modify binding terms to Udemy while establishing notice as the operational requirement for effectiveness.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of this constructive consent mechanism depends heavily on jurisdiction; EU and UK consumer law may require affirmative consent for material changes regardless of what this clause asserts.
Users who do not regularly review updated terms or monitor Udemy emails may unknowingly accept changes to their rights, including modifications to dispute resolution, content licensing, or refund policies, just by continuing to log in.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision may require evaluation under EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms, which limits the ability of businesses to make unilateral material changes to consumer contracts through constructive notice alone. GDPR Article 7 and UK GDPR similarly require freely given, specific consent for material changes to data processing terms. The FTC's guidance on deceptive practices is also relevant where changes affect consumer data handling or financial terms. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of constructive notice via email or platform posting is common in US digital platforms but may not satisfy EU, UK, or select state-level legal requirements for affirmative consent to material changes, particularly those affecting dispute resolution or data rights. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have the highest exposure to unenforceable application of this clause for material changes. California residents should note that the CCPA imposes specific disclosure obligations when privacy-relevant terms change. Where changes affect arbitration rights, the 30-day opt-out provision creates a separate timeline consideration. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise purchasers with multi-year or volume agreements should confirm whether their institutional contracts contain independent amendment provisions that supersede this general user terms amendment mechanism. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations deploying Udemy for employee training should establish internal monitoring processes to track Udemy terms updates, particularly changes affecting data handling, dispute resolution, and content licensing, to ensure ongoing compliance with their own internal vendor governance frameworks.
