In Germany there's actually a law[1] (Google Translate[2]) that prohibits companies from putting "suprising" statements into their terms of services. For example, you cannot put the fact that the user is signing up for a subscription service into the fine print or the terms of services when it is not stated anywhere else on the website. Even if the customer clicks the "yes, I have read the terms and totally agree with everything that's in there"-button. I think most EU countries have similar rules[3].
