"How can one party reserve the right to unilaterally change the terms?"
When it comes to business to consumer contracts, often they can't, due to "unfair terms" clauses in a lot of consumer protection laws.
In this specific case, the fact you can opt-out retrospectively (and inconveniently of course) is certainly due to those laws.
But like you say, it needs to be tested.
