Fun real fact: You can strike elements from any contract you sign if you draw a line through the text and initial it. Half the time the account person catches it and rejects it, but sometimes they don't and you can have some fun. If they took it to court a lawyer could easily argue that both parties would need to have initialed the change, but it's a lot of trouble if you haven't done something insane like struck the interest section of a purchase agreement on credit.

I once did it on an employment contract and struck the section that stipulated availability outside of normal working hours. Just don't expect it to go well once you flex your power.

This only works when the other party drafted the agreement and is the more sophisticated party.

You could do this to the bank, but the bank cannot do it to you.
