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?

Nope! There actually laws to protect us from that kind of stuff. I’m not a lawyer and it depends on where you live, but in general those terms of service are really meant to spell out *to lawyers* how reasonable deals are structured.

Meaning they *are not meant* to be fully intelligible to laypeople, so it’s not like you reasonably expected to understand all 300 pages of Microsoft Excel agreement.

Additionally, adding terms *because you know no one reads them* that *no reasonable person who agree to if they had read it*, isn’t allowed either. Of course you *could* and then you’d quickly lose the ensuing lawsuit.
