Contracts like click wrap agreements are generally considered binding when the user indicates acceptance by clicking "I Accept," regardless of whether they have read the terms or not. The enforceability of jurisdiction clauses in such agreements can vary by jurisdiction, but the act of acceptance itself typically binds the user to the terms, including jurisdiction clauses.
