All terms of contracts,even "fine-print" provisions of standard form contracts,are always part of the parties' deal and binding on them,because parties have an obligation to read their contracts and are assumed to have done so.

Modern courts recognize that people often sign agreements that they have not fully read or do not fully understand.These courts only hold offerees to the terms of which they had actual or reasonable notice.Fine-print provisions are not always legally binding but rather,whether they are legally binding depends on whether a reasonable person would normally expect the document to contain such provisions.
