The phrase you can Google is "clickwrap." It's a variation on the old practice of telling buyers they were bound by the terms on the box when they opened the shrinkwrap.

At the level you're asking, yes, it can be binding in most US places. But lots of legal rules apply to unreasonable or surprise contract terms. So "it depends" is about as straight an answer you can get here.
