Let Consumers Sue Companies

There are also laws that mean you can't put whatever in a ToS and have it be a binding contract. If any clause is considered surprising it's void.

It mostly fixes the whole "read this and click continue" insanity because it makes any clause that isn't law anyway unviable.

Yes. I am in France and IANAL. When you act as an individual, you are a consumer and as a result, you can always ignore EULA. But beware if you act as a company (even a single people one). It becomes a binding contract.

Yup. Seems common sense, really.

And click-through contracts are usually also void, at least in Germany.
