Their ToS says differently. You can't argue with what's explicitly in their legal agreement.

Sure you can, that's what courts are for

A case like this would immediately get thrown out because it makes no sense to argue it. Can be considered frivolous.

Sure you can. TOS docs are full of non legally enforceable wishful thinking bullshit, especially when they're written by an American company providing services to me in Europe. Most of the time they just expect (correctly) that they'll never get challenged in court over it.

Even if it isn't enforceable from a usage perspective, it is from a provider perspective, meaning they can also simply deny their service to anyone they discover breaking said terms. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Sure I can. I can even contest it in court (if I had the money).

Some "legal agreements", TOS, etc. are even unenforceable and blatant abuses of the law.

And what's more, I can even consider ALL such legal agreements bogus and demand that the law changes to now allow them.

Good luck trying to classify this one as such. There's no valid argument given the fact that users are attempting to gain access to an offer in a way that isn't applicable to them. It's tantamount to deception and stealing, going somewhere you were not invited as though you were and taking something that wasn't given to you.
