Agreement which is capable of adversely affecting you; if you do
not wish to be governed by the new version of the Agreement, you
may notify us on or before the date when the new version of the
Agreement is to take effect, and from that date you must cease
to use the BONEFISH Service; or

date as BONEFISH indicates in the relevant posting), if the
