It isn't really a _software_ EULA, in that you don't need to agree to it in order to use the software. I guess it is a _services_ EULA, but I'm even more dubious about the legal validity of it than I am of click-through licences since it basically makes acceptance implicit (even if you never read it) which doesn't sound enforcable at all to me.

IANAL, but logically it seems that some kind of implicit agreement could only be used to explain what sort of service you should expect from the service provider (e.g. "we make no guarantees of the integrity of your data - it's up to you to back it up", etc.) and couldn't be used to place actual restrictions on what a user is allowed to do.
