Chilling Effects Project
Here's an interesting web resource:
The Chilling Effects project aims to help you understand the protections that the First Amendment and intellectual property laws give to your online activities. The Chilling Effects project encourages respect for intellectual property law, while frowning on its misuse to "chill" legitimate activity.
A joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, University of San Francisco, University of Maine, and George Washington School of Law clinics.
Do you know your online rights? Have you received a letter asking you to remove information from a Web site or to stop engaging in an activity? Are you concerned about liability for information that someone else posted to your online forum? If so, this site is for you.
Chilling Effects aims to help you understand the protections that the First Amendment and intellectual property laws give to your online activities. We are excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views, parody politicians, celebrate their favorite movie stars, or criticize businesses. But we've noticed that not everyone feels the same way. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals and corporations are using intellectual property and other laws to silence other online users. Chilling Effects encourages respect for intellectual property law, while frowning on its misuse to "chill" legitimate activity.
The website offers background material and explanations of the law for people whose websites deal with topics such as Fan Fiction, Copyright, Domain Names and Trademarks, Anonymous Speech, and Defamation.

I think that a contact is defined by the exchange and acceptance of a set of terms at a particular instant in time so that I think that post contract acceptance that it is difficult to change it. In Ryanair's case, its interesting as I'm sure that with the small print they have some coverage due to the variations of the airline industry.
