Can a company change their terms of service and not put a notation in their revisions section?
I was hosting a VPS server from a server provider and I wanted a refund they said no refunds I viewed terms of service and it said “VPS clients are not illegible to receive any refunds” (contradiction) I told them about it and they refunded the money. I then checked the terms of service again and it was fixed but they did not make a notation of the revision. Isn’t this illegal? Are they not required to say that they changed it?

Under the laws of all states in this country, if there is an operative agreement in place between the parties, the provision cannot be unilaterally changed by the vendor and bind the customer.
If the vendor desires a subsequent change to an agreement with a customer, a whole new agreement needs to be submitted to the customer and signed by him or her to be binding.
