>>Many EULAs can only be read when you already bought the product. What do you do when you disagree and it is not refundable ?

That's not the case here, with the license published prominently on the "purchase" page. But I agree that Courts have intervened more than once if there are sneaky/nasty terms that aren't revealed until you go to install. Sellers would be smart to ensure that customers get to see the EULA first.

The other point would be that many people sign or click "accept" without a full understanding of what they're agreeing to. In my own case I accepted a standard storage contract in LA for a very reasonable price to leave some heavy trade show stuff in the USA. I did see a clause permitting increases every 6 months but expected this to be like my own contractual clauses, allowing reasonable increases as cost of delivery increases. Instead, the storage fee has doubled because the storage people are confident that many/most customers won't be able to get back to collect their stuff without at least a few months of reaming first. In this case I definitely had access to the agreement before I signed it, which just goes to show that if people want to rip you off, it's not the timing of the paperwork that matters. ;-)

At least by reporting it here I may save UTers from a similar experience! When storing stuff in the US, be ready to uplift your stuff at the anniversary or they'll gouge you. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
