Check

A check is a binding Legal Contract in all states and commonwealths that will stand up in court.

for the longest I had trouble with my local utility holding my checks for 30 days or more before they would cash them, so I started printing on both the front and back of the check "void after 7 days, failure to adhere to this clause will constitute theft", and I would send via receipt confirmation.

They tried to cash a check once after the 7 day limit had been imposed (on the 21st day that was, they received it 3 days after I sent it, a Monday to be precise) and I took them to small claims court and won, the bank had to pay me back the money, they had to pay the bank to cover their losses, and court costs, they haven't done that since. They also send out a man EVERY month for a manual meter reading all "estimates" ceased from that day forth as a result of the court case.

So, yes, he can regardless of wether he is paying in the rear (figuratively or literally) he has a right to make his payment accompany an amendment to their EULA. Everyone has the right to modify ANY contract they sign and the party to which is expected to agree to this has the right to reject the changes, that also means disconnect service until an agreement can be made!

I think not. You may be able to stipulate the expiration of your check, but you cannot alter an agreement to give you free service for life if they cancel you. if it worked, people would have been doing it for years now.

Making up the most extreme possible thing that one could do, does not constitute anything. If say for example I stipulated that by accepting this payment they are agreeing to give me 1 months free service, would be valid, or that they agree to allow me to try the best package they have for a month. But for life that wouldn't stand in court, smaller things would. I could say for example issue an amendment to my EULA.

Nice try though.
