What it is

Waze can change these Terms of Use at any time. Notice of changes may be provided through the app or website, and continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

This analysis describes what Waze'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the mechanism by which the agreement remains subject to unilateral modification by Waze without requiring affirmative user consent to each change. It creates a binding effect through continued service use rather than explicit agreement to amendments.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Waze can add or change terms — including privacy practices, data rights, or arbitration terms — and users are deemed to have accepted them just by continuing to use the app. Regularly reviewing updated terms is the only way to stay informed.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Unilateral modification clauses with deemed-acceptance via continued use are subject to enforceability scrutiny under GDPR (consent must be freely given and specific) and certain US state consumer protection statutes. Compliance teams should track notification mechanisms to assess whether notice is adequate.
