Strike out the parts that you don’t like and email it to legal@ Include a cute little JavaScript cat animation to brighten their day.

I did this to FreeNow (the Uber competitor). No cat though. When they changed their “late fee” that I pay to the driver they if I’m late but nobody pays me if they’re late, and made it implicitly accepted, I emailed them my conditions and said that continuing to provide me a service is implicitly accepting them.

I still have the account. Do you think it worked? I’ll need to test that in court.
