    5. Changes to this Agreement.
       Wacom may notify You of modifications, changes or amendments (“Amendments”) to this Agreement. In the event the Amendments are necessary to implement changes in applicable law, including case law, or for similarly compelling reasons, and do not modify the Parties’ main performance obligations to Your detriment, the Amendments shall be binding on the parties if You have not objected to them within four (4) weeks of Wacom’s notice of such changes provided to You in written form.  Wacom will make the Amendments available and accessible to You in written form in advance of the effective date of such Amendments, and in such notice, Wacom will separately inform You of the four (4) week objection period and the consequences of Your silence. In any other case, any Amendments will be effective only once You have accepted them in a manner such that they are legally binding upon You.
