Public bug reported:
>From legal advice: When the Terms of Use for purchases change slightly,
we can rely on its current statement that "We may occasionally change
the terms of this agreement by posting an updated version, and all
changes will go into effect at the time we post the updated agreement."
But when the terms change substantially, it would be better for USC to
prompt you to accept them in the same way that it does before your first
purchase.
I guess this would require USC and SCA, together, to decide whether the
current version of the terms is substantially different from the version
you agreed to. For example, USC could send, with each purchase, the
version number of the terms you agreed to, or the date you agreed to
them. Then SCA could return a flag for whether the terms need to be
shown.
