That doesn't make it legal. This is bedrock established law. There are a million things one can write into a contract that are illegal terms and not legally binding. You can sign a contract saying you have to cut off your arm but that's not a legally binding contract.

Oh, I didn't say it was legal. That's just how they justify this stuff.
