Perhaps, but "non-acceptance" after "acceptance" is per se a breach of
contract.

Yes.  The question isn't whether you read them or not, but whether you
were able to find and read them.  This usually turns up in cases where
the terms are withheld until after a purchase.  Given that, not
actually reading them would be your own problem.

Of course, that's the theory.  The *practice* of getting it done
internationally is rather more complex, given that once a court in E&W
has given judgment, you need to have it a foreign judge import it
before you can enforce it.  Or Something[TM].  An actual commercial
lawyer will be able to fill in the details.
