According to the terms it's actually "normally" flexible (whatever "normally" means). You just don't get your money back when you change it.

My peeve against it is that they use the same rate name for different things, misleading people as can be seen again here. Most people associate "flexible" with the possibility to cancel/refundable because of that.
