It depends on the "severability" clause of the agreement/contract. If I don't like the agreement/contract, I don't sign it. I read the fine print and make decisions based on informed consent, not lemming order. For example, I make it a point NEVER to sign anything that supersedes my right to litigation (i.e. "arbitration clauses"). Incidentally, this is why I am a big fan of a contract through ALPA. I don't like that our only option is arbitration. Arbitrators are frequently in the pockets of the employer, which is why they have you sign an arbitration clause in the first place.

Not a single one. There are other ways to pay electronically. I simply don't do automatic payments if I am unhappy with the agreement/contract for it or if I don't have confidence in their ability to write bills properly (i.e. the cable company).
