You can write just about any words you like into a contract. But that doesn't mean they are enforceable and doesn't mean a legislature or court can't add or modify clauses. Then there's the whole doctrine of equity thing over the top of it. In law there are always a whole bunch of fine-grained questions that can change the whole outcome.

I expect one or more lawsuits to emerge, maybe as a class action. It might not come to trial and simply wash up as a settlement.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a lawyer.
