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.
