In connection with these activities, Playlog owns and operates: (i) the websites as available through playlog.com, about.playlog.com, and app.playlog.com; and (ii) the Playlog app (collectively, the “Platform”).

2. Changes to these Terms

You acknowledge and agree that we may make changes to these Terms from time to time, for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion. We will post any revised version of these Terms on our Platform. We encourage you to check back often for updates.

Your continued use of the Platform or the Services after an update or amendment to these Terms means that you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms as amended.
