This provision establishes that the legal terms governing site use can change without direct user notification, placing the obligation to monitor for changes on users. The characterization of continued use as 'irrevocable' acceptance is a stronger formulation than affirmative consent and may face scrutiny under electronic contract formation standards in certain jurisdictions.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of irrevocable acceptance through continued use depends on jurisdiction and whether courts treat passive use as sufficient consent to material contract modifications.
This provision establishes that Zelle may revise these Terms at any time through site posting, and that continuing to use the site after any revision constitutes irrevocable agreement to the revised terms. Users who do not regularly monitor the Terms of Use page may be bound by updated provisions without direct notice.

"Please note that these Terms may be revised and reissued, prospectively by posting updated terms on this Site. You consent and agree to receive notices of updates of these Terms through postings of the updated Terms on our Site. You should visit this page regularly to review the current terms. Your continued use of the Site will be deemed as irrevocable acceptance of any revisions.Excerpt from Zelle's Terms of Service
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Notice-by-posting update mechanisms in consumer contracts may engage the FTC Act's prohibition on deceptive practices if material changes are not adequately disclosed. The E-Sign Act and state electronic contract formation standards govern whether notice-by-posting satisfies consent requirements for material contract modifications. CFPB guidance on consumer financial product disclosures is relevant given Zelle's payment network context. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of 'irrevocable acceptance' in the context of passive continued use is a formulation that may be subject to challenge under consumer contract law in jurisdictions requiring affirmative consent to material changes, particularly for financial services. Courts in some jurisdictions have declined to enforce notice-by-posting amendment clauses in consumer adhesion contracts where changes were material. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, New York, and the EU (for any users accessing the site from EEA jurisdictions) have consumer contract and data protection frameworks that may require more than passive continued use as a valid consent mechanism for material term changes. The document does not specify a process for users to affirmatively reject or opt out of revised terms other than ceasing site use. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise partners or financial institutions that incorporate Zelle site terms by reference in customer agreements should monitor for updates, as changes become effective upon posting and may alter the legal baseline without direct notification. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should establish a monitoring process for Zelle Terms of Use updates, as changes are operationally effective upon posting. Where Zelle is referenced in customer-facing disclosures, those disclosures may require updating when Zelle's terms change materially.
