16.4. Modifications. We may modify this Common Agreement in a timely manner and always publish the most current version on our site. In the event that a modification significantly limits your rights, we will notify you in this regard (for example, by sending an email or a prominent notice in the Services). In the notice, a reasonable period will be indicated after which the new terms will apply. Modifications are never applied retroactively. If you continue to use the Services or access them once the changes are implemented, you agree to submit to the amended Common Agreement. If you do not agree with the modifications, you should stop using the Services.
