I have always silently rejected the whole "if you do x then it means you agree to y". No idea if either would stand up in court but I don't see some text label on a website or program as legally binding. Hell, I'd say that a lot of user agreement fine print doesn't even meet the informed consent requirement for a legal agreement. Or that would be the case if the legal system cared about justice rather than being more of an orphan crushing machine for corporate interests in many cases.
