That's simply not true. Lawyers frequently make legal claims on behalf of their clients which they know cannot be successfully challenged except at great expense to the other person. If the fine print results in scaring the vast majority of customers into compliance, it doesn't matter if the terms really can be enforced.

The fine print in any of these so-called agreements that are foisted on the general public is nothing more than the opinion of the lawyer who wrote it, that he can come up with a legal argument if he is ever challenged.
