Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms at any time and for any reason, provided such changes do not materially diminish your rights without your consent where required by law.

We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of these Terms and, for material changes, by providing notice via email or prominent posting on the Site.
