Changes will usually occur because of new features being added to the Service, changes in the law or where we need to clarify our position on something.
Normally, we will try to give you some warning before the new terms become effective. However, sometimes changes will need to be made immediately and if this happens we will not give you any notice.
18. DOCUMENTS THAT APPLY TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU
The current version of the Terms of Use contains the only terms and conditions that apply to our relationship with you.
