Logs are kept for an undefined period of time
Logs are text files containing some information about web visitors, such as user agents (showing for instance that you're connecting from Firefox for Android) and ip addresses (which reveal your approximate location). This case applies to Services that may keep logs indefinitely, allowing user sessions to be tracked over time. Logs that are kept for a time "consistent with applicable law" also fall under this case, since this period of time may be murky or undefined.
Terms may be changed any time at their discretion, without notice to you
The Agreements can be updated at any time, including in a way that negatively affects user rights, without notifying before or after the changes.
Instead of asking directly, this Service will assume your consent merely from your usage.
The Service infers your acceptance from your continued usage, instead of prompting you to read the new Terms and asking for direct consent. This doesn’t apply to services that have no way to seek consent from users through their contact details or an account.

The data retention period is kept to the minimum necessary for fulfilling its purposes

You aren’t forced into binding arbitration in case of disputes
Binding Arbitration is a dispute resolution method involving a neutral third party which will render a decision instead of going to court. Since the arbitrator can decide the outgoing of a dispute without evidences or a legal basis, it is preferable that users decide whether they want or not their dispute to be resolved this way.
Your personal data is not sold
This service makes an explicit promise not to sell "personal data" of users.
