Strangely enough, though, when I buy items in a physical store, THEY don't make me agree to all their terms and conditions before I buy, either!
The only store I know of that makes you agree to the terms every time there's a change is the Apple store. I've many times gone to purchase something downloadable only to be greeted with a popup stating that their terms have changed, and I must read and agree to the new terms, then try my purchase again.

EDIT: I see 5thWiggle has already made this point. Once more, I'm a day late and a store credit short.
