This is something that's truly atrocious about the move to digital-only copies. On paper, I can mark things up, initial them, send them back. The digital copies let me sign, and that's it. There's no in-band way to indicate that a section should be changed, no way to clarify wording. It's a system designed for contracts of adhesion, and nothing else. Heck, most of them will automatically scroll to the next place for a signature, implying that you shouldn't actually read what you're signing.

The existence of the automatic scroll feature should void the contract. They are actively trying to discourage reading the contract. There is no meeting of the minds.
