You've described a contract of adhesion [1]. They aren't illegal, but are subject to additional judicial scrutiny. [1] http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/adhesion_

  Unfortunately, no longer that much additional judicial scrutiny. The law used to view them suspiciously, since they didn't appear to really be bona fide contracts entered into by two parties who negotiated and agreed on terms. But as Justice Scalia's majority opinion in AT&T Mobility v. Conception (2011) argues, "the times in which consumer contracts were anything other than adhesive are long past", and courts now enforce them routinely, actually even striking down state-law attempts to treat them as anything but bona-fide contracts.
