at any time and if we do so, we may modify the Application to make it

- Amendment. We may amend any of these Terms of Use at our sole
discretion by posting the revised terms on the IMDb.com (or other IMDb) website
or within the Application. Your continued use of the Service or the Application
after any amendment's effective date evidences your agreement to be bound by
it.

and any updates or upgrades to the Application that we may provide that replace
or supplement the original Application, unless the update or upgrade is
accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will
govern. If we provide specific terms of use for a particular Service and there
is a conflict between the specific terms of use for the particular Service and

govern.
