The updated Terms of Service no longer include the previous statement that services would become inaccessible from certain locations starting September 1st, 2025. This removal means the geographic restriction that was previously announced in the agreement is no longer formally stated in the current terms. Users who were affected by or concerned about the prior restriction should review current documentation to confirm whether any geographic limitations remain in effect.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification clauses are evaluated under California contract law (requirement of consideration and mutual assent); courts have scrutinized 'continued use equals acceptance' mechanisms. Under GDPR Art. 7, consent to data processing must be freely given, specific, and as easy to withdraw as to give — a modification-by-continued-use mechanism for data processing changes may not satisfy this standard. CCPA similarly requires clear notice of material changes to data practices. (2)
