Not so fast. Every contract must be balanced, otherwise it can be challenged (and likely overruled) in courts.
If they have the right to terminate your license and withdraw access to the content, you should also have the right to terminate the contract and withdraw your money.
It cannot work just for one side without any practical reason.
This is not true. The contract just needs to have consideration. It doesn't have to be "fair" in your opinion.
Some countries recognise the power imbalance in consumer contracts and prohibit unfair terms. For example:

I can't say for where you live, but it is true where I live.
Might not be true in Japan, but Sony is doing business worldwide, they have to follow each country's legal principles.
