  <text>Except as otherwise provided in § 22-209 of this subtitle, the following rules apply:</text>
  <level label="1">
    <text>A party adopts the terms of a record, including a standard form, as the terms of the contract if the party agrees to the record, such as by manifesting assent.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="2">
    <text>The terms of a record may be adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) of this section after beginning performance or use if the parties had reason to know that their agreement would be represented in whole or part by a later record to be agreed on and there would not be an opportunity to review the record or a copy of it before performance or use begins. If the parties fail to agree to the later terms and did not intend to form a contract unless they so agreed, § 22-202(e) of this subtitle applies.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="3">
    <text>If a party adopts the terms of a record, the terms become part of the contract without regard to the party’s knowledge or understanding of individual terms in the record, except for a term that is unenforceable because it fails to satisfy another requirement of this title.</text>
