They may be enforceable even in Europe. The situation in the Netherlands is explained at <https://blog.iusmentis.com/2008/04/05/de-rechtsgeldigheid-van-software-eulas/ https://blog.iusmentis.com/2008/04/05/de-rechtsgeldigheid-va...>; in short, for general terms and conditions that apply to everyone, you merely need to have been suitably informed beforehand and the terms cannot be unreasonably burdensome. In Belgium, a judge ruled in October last year that an EULA cannot prohibit decompilation of software, <https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=247056&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=6413406 https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&do...>, a ruling that rather directly implies that EULAs are valid in general in Belgium, it is only specific clauses in EULAs that may be deemed invalid. I do not know where this idea that EULAs are invalid throughout the EU comes from. It is simply not true.
