They are even more so on the US, maybe you were thinking of the European Union? Cause in the US you have no rights if the EULA says so.

Its more complicated than that, EULA's can't require an illegal act, i.e.: If you don't kill your cat you can't use our service.
So they're not perfectly binding if they don't follow state and local law.
While true, it would be up to you to prove their EULA is requiring an illegal act and then win that court case. Only then you could go after them for killing your cat. By the time you are done with legalese you are already broke and your cat is dead.
