It seems odd then that you have to actually buy the device before you can even read the terms. I guess the idea is that you can always return it if you don't agree?

I don't know about the US, but in the EU if you don't get to see the terms before buying, the terms are effectively void. (of course most non-trivial EULA-style terms are already void in the EU, since it's well known that nobody reads them)

"That'll be a $25 restocking fee, and a $25 open-box fee"

Or, in India, typically a 100% restocking fee.

So you might as well keep/sell it then?
