It’s common to receive a mail from some service that they’re changing the terms and conditions of their service (internet provider, gmail, etc.) These changes are unilateral and can be about anything, from their privacy policy to the money they intend to charge me.

Why can’t I unilaterally send them a mail and say, I am changing the terms of my patronage and will now insert my new policy (pay only xx amount, or demand a mint Chico chip ice cream every Tuesday)?

    They’re providing a service, so it’s not really up to you to determine a new price or features of that service. But you have the right to decide you don’t want to continue it, or change it within the boundaries that they’ve said you can. There may be consequences of stopping or changing the contract terms, which are most likely spelled out in that contract somewhere.

      I don’t have time to review all the changes that are constantly made to terms and conditions.

      Guess I won’t use anything ever then.
