You as an adult technically can’t sign away certain things and ToS that try to enforce that are invalid. Can you fight it though? Can you afford to fight it?
Some lawyers would argue that it should be a class action and get some judge to agree. Most of the families would sign on to the suit because they cannot afford lawyers nor the time off of work to pursue the case. Then the company would settle the class action suit for a pittance and each family would get $1.17.

And just showing up to court is expensive.
