They can change the terms on their own
What this clause does
The agency can alter the agreement without your agreement.
Why it hurts you
Every other protection in the contract becomes provisional. What you agreed to is not what you are bound by.
What a fair version looks like
Amendments require both signatures.
Wording you can send back
This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both parties.
Paste this into your reply. Asking for a specific change is far more effective than asking them to "soften" a clause.
