There is a lot of laws around what a contract can do. you cannot have a contract for murder for example. EULA are the lowest form as the other party doesn't have a choice, particularly if the terms change after the sale. contact a lawyer for the current state, but last I checked they were not well tested, and gnerally considered breakable in court.
