To the extent that browsing a website is a restricted act under the law of copyright (see NLA v Meltwater for a ridiculous UK holding along those lines), I suppose you have copyright infringement if you engage in a restricted act without fully complying with the terms of the licence. If a judge were to rule similarly in the jurisdiction chosen for the dispute, and, like the US, there were statutory damages, I guess an award could come from there.
That's farfetched and, IMO, based on bad law, but even an action for breach of contract that ended in a nominal award for damages (say, $1) could be punitive
(on costs) in a loser-pays legal system.
