10. Changes to Terms

10.1 Our Right to Modify

1990 Web Archive reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms of Service at any time. As the web evolves and archival technologies advance, our policies must adapt to ensure the continued preservation, accessibility, and legal compliance of our digital heritage repository.

10.2 Notification Process

We are committed to transparent communication regarding any changes to our Terms. When modifications are made, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
• Send a direct notification to the email address associated with your account for material changes.
• Display a banner notification on our dashboard and archive viewer for the first 30 days following a change.
• Log all revisions in the official changelog below for public audit.

For non-material changes (e.g., formatting updates, clarification of language, or minor procedural adjustments), notification may be limited to the updated date and changelog entry.

10.3 Effective Dates

All changes to these Terms will become effective upon the date specified in the accompanying notification or, if no date is specified, immediately upon posting. Users are responsible for periodically reviewing this section to stay informed of any updates.

10.4 Continued Use Implies Acceptance

If you continue to access or use the 1990 Web Archive platform, services, or API endpoints after the effective date of any changes, it will signify your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must discontinue use of our services and delete any locally cached archival data obtained through our platform.

10.5 Historical Versions

In alignment with our mission of digital preservation, we maintain archived copies of all previous versions of these Terms. Users may request access to historical iterations for legal, academic, or compliance purposes by contacting our support team.
