Since when honoring the agreement is "generous".
Reserving the right to make unilateral changes by itself is dishonest. Executing on it is doubly so.
In most non-English law countries such terms are declared abusive and unenforceable. In English law it takes someone with brains, like Judge Green, to see that.
