That depends.

Can you prove the preferential TOS terms in place when you gave the data? If you don't have something in writing you will have a tough time in court of law. And when I say writing I mean you being able to go on the stand to say, "Yes we did have an agreement. Look at the TOS I printed off their site right here." A person doesn't need a signed piece of paper, although that does help. A person couldn't go on the stand to say, "So and so told me the terms of the site."

Can you prove you didn't agree to the modified terms? Using a site after terms modification can be construed as agreeing to the modified terms.
