No.
My implied contract with a store is that I pay for the merchandise that they provide. They are quite free to set the rules about whether they'll accept cash or checks or credit cards; they are generally free to set policies about returns and exchanges and final sales; they even are free to tell me I can't shop in their brick and mortar store in my bare feet. They are not free to tell me what I may or may not do with my purchase once I pay for it and leave the store.
Do you know of any physical or online store that claims a right to monitor and/or inhibit my use of the physical product I purchased?
The model we are all used to is that "buy" means you pay for it, it's yours, end of story.
