If you don't know and haven't had the opportunity to find out, then it doesn't apply. The old terms still apply unless you agree to abide by the new terms and conditions. This stops them changing terms you agree with to ones you don't. Or ones you don't like but could live with to ones even worse. You take (or don't) the good with the bad!
Put simply, if you don't know of the conditions, or a variation, and haven't had a reasonable opportunity to find out, then you can't in any way be said to have agreed to them and they can't apply to you. Take note all you software developers, and get some good legal advice!
