Then at what point does something become binding on the Internet? Most of my financial work over the last year has involved e-signed contracts. I typed my name and the date, certifying I had read and understand the contract - the difference between that and certifying that I've read the ToS via a checkbox seems arbitrary.



In EU this would be treated as a shrink wrap EULA. Those are generally not considered binding.

Click wrap is different and some may be considered binding.

(Caveat: IANAL)
