I would bet the original ToS have a clause stating "you agree to receive notices by email" or similar. Also, keep distinct the notion of general communication between a company and client, and serving a legal notice.

Re using the Caps key mapped to Esc. Many people are commenting they never use the Caps Lock key. I'm puzzled since I use it all the time. Do you not capitalise your constants or globals? Or maybe you don't write much C or C++; I'm not
