Changes

We will not reduce your rights under any updates to the Terms without your explicit consent.

You agree that we may take any such actions at any time in our sole discretion. For changes to the Terms or to the Services that we need to make to meet security, safety, legal or regulatory requirements, we may not be able to notify you in advance. Where we consider that any changes to any content or features accessible within Services are reasonably material, we will (where reasonably practicable) notify you via inbox message or by posting the changes on our website. Any changes to this Agreement will become effective immediately upon posting by us, unless we specify otherwise. 

We may from time to time update or require you to apply an update to the application to ensure you are running the latest version and accessing the latest features.
