Received does not imply "accepted". I can also mail you an agreement in which you point your job payroll to my bank account, but you're not obligated to actually do it, right?

You're not obligated to do that.

The difference here may be that there's already a contract between a user and the company, so if they include something like "continuing to provide service to my account constitutes acceptance of these terms." in the updated contract, it might fly.

Or not. It could be that all the businesses doing that to their users are just BS'ing something unenforceable.
