What's even better: EULAs in Germany are mostly useless because they can't contain any clauses that could be considered "surprising". Basically, if the EULA contradicts most users' expectations, it doesn't hold up in court.
A recent example for this was WhatsApp getting into trouble after banning users who used unofficial clients. The courts ruled that a ban was not something users would expect because other comparable services have no such clause and that while WhatsApp was allowed to detect and block the use of third-party apps, they couldn't punish the users themselves.
