Being that nobody actually reads the terms of service/use for products, could a company put something fucky and it be legal?

For example, say the next iOS TOS agreement says that any users who accept are subject to have their bank accounts drained and we all go on using our iPhones as usual and they took the money. Would that be legal?

Nobody reads the fine print. But maybe they should.

Georgia high school teacher Donelan Andrews won a $10,000 reward after she closely read the terms and conditions that came with a travel insurance policy she purchased for a trip to England. Squaremouth, a Florida insurance company, had inserted language promising a reward to the first person who emailed the company.

“We understand most customers don’t actually read contracts or documentation when buying something, but we know the importance of doing so,” the company [said](https://www.squaremouth.com/campaign/pays-to-read/). “We created the top-secret Pays to Read campaign in an effort to highlight the importance of reading policy documentation from start to finish.”

Can be for your benefit sometimes to read it.
