Not saying your wrong, just saying that a contract isnt a contract if one party can alter the terms at will... and your example is usually only valid prospectively.
We actually had a very expensive lesson in this particular clause. And while I agree and a any of the attorneys I spoke with agree with what your are saying - how a judge, or an abitrator might interpret it on any given day is completely another matter entirely.
