Yeah, this isn't really about the signatures rabbit hole this thread has gone down. I've spoken at well over 100 events (and many webinars/videos) and it's totally routine as a speaker, or even as an attendee, to click through all sorts of routine terms and conditions like codes of conduct, agreement for photos/videos to be used for marketing purposes, and probably various other things. If there were some buried condition about payment after the event, I could easily miss it because it would be so unexpected. (An actual number would hopefully jump out at me but it would be so unexpected it might not if it were carefully hidden.)
