1.  Our Right to Make Changes. We may change this Agreement from time to time, such as to reflect changes in the Service, relevant laws and regulatory requirements, by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means and by making available a revised Agreement through the Service. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we make available the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.

Your clicking or tapping “Enable,” “Add,” “Accept,” “OK” or “Agree” (or a similar term) in connection with this Agreement, or your use of the Service following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, (a) modify or discontinue all or part of the Service (including access to the Service via any third-party links) for valid reasons (e.g., to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, to protect security or to implement reasonable technical adjustments and improvements); (b) charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Service where reasonably necessary; or (c) offer opportunities to some or all Service users.
