By my reading that means they can just decide to start charging you and you have no recourse?! Though the account is explicitly stated in huge letters to be "free", so one hopes that would count as the "then-current rate". The near-contradiction is unfortunate though, and there's no indication about them having to tell you when they change their fees. (Not that they could get any money from me without asking anyway.) The account requires a 'company name', so I guess if you're an individual you're... fucked? -- NULL && (void)
