It doesn't. Click-through type agreements are generally not enforceable except under the UCITA, which is only in two states and only in the US. I am not aware of specific court cases ruling click-through agreements invalid, however their invalidity was often pointed out during the lobbying for/against UCITA. UCITA hasn't been tested for constitutionality yet, either, so it might well turn out that even in Maryland and Virginia such agreements are not legal. :}
