In my experience, any alteration to the T&Cs of a contract must be communicated separately in writing to the other party. Simply crossing out or adding your own T&Cs on a standard agreement and sending it back will probably not fly in a U.S. court of law. Interesting to see how it plays abroad. Still, it’s a nice “David vs Goliath” story.
maybe some possibilities in all this, however, for how we deal with Obamacare?
you know, the Obama ideology of overloading the system to destroy it?
maybe everyone could send back his or her own desired terms to any Obamacare communications from WashDC, and request they respond and negotiate before we proceed any further with their opening proposal or bids?

“Earlier this week a Russian judge ruled in Mr Argakov’s favour.
Tinkoff had signed the contract and was legally bound to it.”
“Not legal I fear.”
Why would it behoove “us” to read the small print, but not them...
