Well, any time you buy any service from any company, you're depending on them to keep their word.

I'm not saying this is right, or ethical. But you're taking a chance they'll honor their service.

Sorry if anyone got screwed.

You've never heard of a contract?

Companies aren't held to contracts like people are held to contracts. One buyout, restructuring, name change, no more contract. It's meaningless

Is this the case everywhere?

Way to not see the forest for the trees.

I'm stating they don't always honor the terms of the contract, and change the terms on a whim.

Good luck collecting a check for $0.72 from the class action lawsuit. A fraction of a percentage from their profits.

Depending on the terms and jurisdiction, there may be penalties for not honoring a contractual agreement.

This would be an issue of enforcement.
