IANAGL, but in Germany a ToS is not a contract and can be declared void if it's deemed by courts to be unfair.

Yes, though this is especially true when it's consumers 'agreeing' to the TOS. Anything even somewhat surprising within such a TOS is basically thrown out the window in European courtrooms without a second look.

For actual, legally binding consent, you'll need to make some real effort to make sure the consumer understands what they are agreeing to.
