Not valid here (means, it does not really give them that permission), and they could get sued if they used such t&c here.
They seem to not mind being sued. For them it's just a fee that they calculate into their expenses
Perhaps but it still makes the clause pointless.
Oh, I didn't mean it because of money, but the court could specifically order them to not use such clauses in T&Cs anymore.
(And then, in case of disrespecting court orders, that would hurt them financially so much that they'd think more than twice)
But until then, and until it has gone through several courts and eventually settle, they can harvest all they want
In fact, it will be lived practice by then and not really enforced. Is how they operate.
