ticket case
n.— «There are contracts you agree to (or are taken to agree to) by your conduct alone. A good example of this sort of contract is the contract you agree to at places like public parking garages. When you drive into a public parking area in a shopping centre you will be regarded as having agreed to the terms that are usually posted at the entrance. The terms are often printed on the ticket or referred to on the ticket. These sorts of cases are actually referred to as “ticket cases.”» —“website terms and conditions: whether you read them or not” by Paul Jacobson Paul Jacobson (Johannesburg, South Africa) Apr. 4, 2008.
