[WS:] Below is what the contract actually says. Basically, I can terminate without penalty in response to their "material changes" in the contract. The question is whether an extra $10 per month -without prior notification _ resulting from changing the employer discount rate (they claim it was my employer) or $40 for the remaining durration of the contract qualify as "material."
I mean 40 bucks is not a big deal - I can cancel the service in 4 month witjout any fuss, and I am not going on limb to fight that. I am more concenrend with the principle here - if I can legally resist corporate practices, why not?
PS. This not asking for a proper legal advice, of course.
