Agreeing to the terms and conditions without reading them

Q: When we make online accounts, some websites say words to the effect: "By clicking 'Create Account', you agree that you have read and agree to the terms of service". In such a case, is it allowed to just clicking "Create Account" without reading the terms?

A: One should read the terms before accepting as there may be some clause in the terms that is unmanageable or impermissible in shariah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
