There is an implied warranty of merchantability. If a EULA wasn’t disclosed until post purchase and is required for operation then the product isn’t operable and they would have to return it or find a way to make it operable.

Your average store clerk will roll their eyes if you discuss this with them - you’d have to sue. For $30k it might be worth it, but most purchases it is not.

It's almost certain that the EULA is on the website

If I walk into a store and buy something and they never mention the surprise extra contractual terms I need to go looking for on the website, then those surprise extra contractual terms aren't part of the sales contract. He's entitled to a refund if the EULA terms were not disclosed to him before purchase, because he purchased a camera and it can't be used as a camera until he agrees to an additional contract.
