That would depend on the terms.

Yes absolutely. The catch being that most company include a catch-all termination condition where they can terminate the contract whenever they want. It is then the justice who has to step in and say if those condition are valid or not.

If my memory is correct, those kind of catch-all terms where deemed non-applicable in the EU, but it doesn't prevent company from still putting them in the hope that you won't sue them afterward.
