It's not. And there must be no other way of subscribing in order for this method to be valid, anyway.
Why do you think that software companies and Web sites and other
organizations require you to check a box to accept terms and conditions,
instead of just assuming that you read and understand them when they are
displayed?
You mean the boilerplate like the one for the CD I just recently installed telling me what I could run their program on, only to discover that their "program" was nothing but a bunch of PDF files hyperlinked by an index.html page? PLEASE. These companies don't even bother reading their own license agreements anymore. They get some generic thing drafted by their lawyer (or steal someone else's) and spew it into their packaged software to cover their butts. The one I read was definitely for an application of some kind, but the content on the CD was definitely NOT an application.
