Contractual clauses which provide for the unilateral modification of the terms of the contract by one party are generally permitted under Singapore law, subject to the requirement that that the other party has the means of knowing that there has been a modification and what that modification is.

It is unclear whether directing users to check this Terms of Service themselves every time before using the site would be considered a reasonable method of notifying users of any changes to this Terms of Service. In respect of registered users, it may be more prudent to utilise a more “active” method of notifying such users of any changes to this Terms of Service, such as, pop-ups on the website upon login or via email, to avoid dispute.

We understand that this provision may be intended to apply to both registered as well as unregistered users of the site. In respect of unregistered users, Sprout may wish to consider putting a notification on the home page of the site in the event of any modification to the Terms of Service.
