In principle...
In practice, I think that's yet to be determined. GDPR is new. These rights are new. "If it's faulty" is easy for lawyers to determine. "Fit for purpose" ...isn't that hard, and the lawyers have had time to practice. "Unnecessary PII collection or processing" ... the lawyers are currently 23 wikipedia links deep^ trying to identify the aristotelian truth of the matter, presumably in order to make necessary amendments to the aforementioned contract.
Shops putting signs on walls is just not comparable to this, in practice. Normal people are signing dozens of pseudo-contracts they don't understand each day. That has been accelerating and gdpr has accelerated it further.
