Well with a lot of TOS terms the buyer IS obligated, like when it comes to whithholding a certain percent as a deposit if the seller bails; but if the TOS terms are (legally) unreasonably/unfair terms, like the no review thing, then the buyer is not obligated to that specific term, even if they make an agreement to buy.
There's legislation in most countries (Consumer Guarantees Act in NZ, Consumer Protection Act in Canada, for example) that prevent someone from writing their TOS(or contract) to try and avoid liability, or fair terms, when it comes to selling goods for personal use.
A TOS that's legitimate is legally binding, but they really are meant to be part of a larger contract, not serve as a stand alone agreement.
