You can change the contract before signing it, then give it back to them and wait for them to accept it (either explicitly or implicitly).

Works in most jurisdictions since both parties have to agree to the contract.

That's difficult to do when your cell provider presents the contract on an LCD screen, or via a web page.

On the other hand, the car dealership refused to allow me to redline their contract. I was fortunate that I could -- and did -- walk away, and I was able to find another dealer that didn't yet have a MBA clause.

What is a MBA clause? A quick Google search couldn't find me a clear definition. Just curious...

Wouldn't this be fraud if you didn't flag the changes/tell the other party about them?
