Re: Don't like the terms, don't sign the contract said by cdru:But don't bitch and moan that it's unfair that you are stuck with a bill for something you agreed to. There wouldn't be so much bitching and moaning if the companies didn't write such one-sided contracts. They tend to reserve the right to change the terms of the contract so why shouldn't consumers also be allowed to. |

They tend to reserve the right to change the terms of the contract so why shouldn't consumers also be allowed to. If they change the terms of the legal contract, you have the right to reject them. Of course if you reject them, you also give up the service. From Clearwires very own Terms of Service (emphasis added):
quote:
1. Agreement Governing Use of Service. The current version of this Agreement (including the Service Plans) can be found at www.clearwire.com/company/legal/terms.htm. Clearwire may change this Agreement or the Service from time to time by sending you an email notification to the email address associated with your account, or announcing the Service changes in the "Service Announcements" section of Clearwire's website: »www.clearwire.com/company/legal/···ents.htm. Such changes will become effective once you have been notified; afterwards, and your continued use of the Service or Equipment will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. However, if you do not wish to continue Service after a change that is materially disadvantageous to you, you may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Clearwire within twenty (20) days of the effective date of the modification, and you will not be charged any Early Termination Fee(as described below)...
Cellular service has the same provisions usually any many people have gotten out of contracts they no longer want when a carrier raises fees, even for almost trivial things like directory assistance charges that most people never even use. |

That's the problem when there is a lack of real competition. I suppose you could give up indoor plumbing and live in a cave but I'm not suggesting you do so. |

There would be less bitching and moaning if the service were worth a damn. |
