Terms are not a contract or a type of contract. Were you instructed to consult your legal team before signing the contract?

What you never signed with a witness and a notary?

So if they put in a term that said you agree to give them your house or 500 you would have to?

Terms of service are the rules outlined by the service provider. Breaking these could get your service cut and you would have a hard time finding a legal recourse.

I agree with your whole opinion on T&C's and abuse by companies, but they are still a contract, mostly because there is no "hard standard" in how a contract can be formed between two parties. Even a verbal agreement can be seen as a "contract" as much as a signed paper.

If I put a piece of tape across the door to your house, and I write "by breaking or removing this tape, you owe me $1000", is that a valid contract? One party shouldn't be able to just make up things that constitute agreement to a contract.

It would be a contract if you agreed to it. Without a meeting of minds and agreement there is no contract.
