- coldpie 11y agoOne of those terms was that they can change the terms at any time without notice.
- minthd 11y ago:) .Is that even legal ?

- anonbanker 11y agoUnless you've bilaterally agreed or acquiesced to it, of course. Consent(.exe) is everything. You have 72 hours (10 business days by mail) to undo your consent to the Windows license changes after clicking "Agree". Did you submit your notice in a timely fashion, or did you let the clock run out?
