I'm guessing that's not enforceable per much anywhere, hence the "unless prohibited by law" part. But they stick it in there so they can scare you into giving up a legal fight. Most terms of service are throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.
My understanding is it actually is enforceable, as other companies also use that clause. Having said that, IANAL.
/agree
Just because everyone does it doesn't make it legal, it just means there aren't penalties for putting it in. That's why everyone goes 5-10mph over the speed limit, lack of enforcement doesn't make something legal.
