Legal Term
Unilateral Modification Clause
Legal Definition
A contractual provision that grants one party the authority to alter, amend, or update the terms of the agreement without requiring the prior consent or agreement of the other party, typically subject to specified notice requirements.
In Plain English
A part of a contract that lets one side change the rules on their own, without asking the other side for permission. You might only be bound by changes if you keep using the service after being notified.
Example in a Contract
