Curious observer here. Since he's not a Yelp partner or customer or anybody, why does he have to worry about their TOS?

Whether one likes it or not, simply by visiting or looking at a site, you're agreeing to their TOS.

"By accessing or using the Site, you are agreeing to these Terms and concluding a legally binding contract with Yelp Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California ("Yelp"). Do not access or use the Site if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms."

Or... what? It says "Do not access or use the Site..." but what would be the penalty for using a site like this outside of the terms of service?
