Why would you use Ratafire?

Ratafire reserves the right to update it's terms of service without notifying you. Why would you enter into a business agreement with someone that can strip you of your rights without you knowing that they are doing so?


From: https://ratafire.com/site/terms/

"We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will not provide notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use the Service."

I'm cautious of Patreon for using similar language as well as other clear and obvious predatory statements in their terms of service.

Is there a payment portal site that actually treats the people they are earning money from with equality and integrity rather than setting themselves up to be able to rip them off?
