What does "easily argue" mean in practical terms? Filing a case in small claims court? Credit card chargeback that inevitably gets disputed by the merchant and reversed? Haranguing customer service until they just give up and send you a coupon? In theory you might have a legal argument, but whether that's of any real use is another matter.

In practice, tell them you will consider the EULA non binding, and would still like your money back.

If they are still dicks about it, figure out what the authors of the EULA were most afraid of, and do that.

Home run fantasy land: Wait until they sue some other user based on a clause in the EULA, then testify in court, causing them to lose that case, and also invalidate the EULA for all their existing customers.

Isn't this the exact reason nearly every EULA has an "if any clause of this is found invalid, the rest still applies" clause? (Are those enforceable?)

In this scenario the user is not accepting the EULA.
