Please revisit this LA when you purchase any Content licenses. COMPANY reserves the right to modify the LA at any time in its sole discretion. Prior to such changes becoming effective, COMPANY will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such change. Such notice may be made by your email address, an announcement on this page, your login page, and/or by other means. Modifications to this LA will only apply to prospective purchases (including any automated renewals).
