> I've seen some credit card and bank card forms that include language which make the agreement void if its terms are altered in any way

Couldn't part of your alterations include the removal of that section? Just strike that out, in addition to the other changes you are making.

I doubt that would work. Besides, the ones I've seen include a link to the original text on their website as well. Now if I take a screenshot of that (or maybe hit Archive.org for it) at the time of signing and if the text is different, I may be able to claim that the bank is forcing me to follow an agreement different from the one I signed.

But that's an extremely long shot and it still needs to rely on the bank fudging the records first.

He changed the url in the contract to point to his own website with his version of the contract.

Ah, touché! I left out that part. I guess then it really only matters that the bank accepted the altered terms.
