Good point. For myself, I always question whether that sort of clause would even be enforceable. It’s tough to argue that both parties agreed to the new terms unilaterally made at a later date by one party.

However, those terms even show up in a lot of credit card and banking agreements now.

I read them every now and then, but I usually skip to the bottom first to see if it allows the site to modify the terms without consent or notification. If yes anything else said is generally moot and it comes down to how much I trust the company. Unfortunately those modification and notification clauses are nearly ubiquitous.
