It varies depending on where in the world you are but its actually pretty unclear as to whether they are enforceable. Or at least, a specific set of T&Cs with a specific user/customer may be found to be unenforceable for a wide range of reasons.
Of course, the company that puts the T&Cs in front of you isn't going to tell you that.
Almost no one reads them, so they should not be enforceable.
I mean, as developers we know when a session is established, pages are visited, and can easily see how long they've been on the page.
No one can read the typical T&C in 10 seconds .. let alone 1 minute .. especially without even opening the page! So the options should be something like:
[x] I don't care, just whatever dude.
[ ] No. Get me out of here. Because I don't know how to close the browser window myself.
