Terms which you have to agree to before being able to see them?

Yes, as long as you can back out after seeing them and
not be forced to pay. The court said that having terms
that are not visible is routine. For example, appliances
come with limited warranties but don't make those limits
visible on the outside of the package. That doesn't mean
that the limits don't apply. For another, terms are often
so lengthy that there is no way they could be displayed
on a package. And for software, in many cases there is no
package at all, because it's downloaded.
