Where its said that a person checked the box ?
And not a bot, and if it were human, who did it ?
Someone who shared/hacked your WiFi ?
There is no legal relation between an ip-number and
a person unless there is other circumstantial evidence,
such as a double opt-in confirmed log-in in with username
and password.

where does this say that ticking a checkbox is not an acceptance of an
offer? And there is nothing unique about this - derived from English
common law and the same terms are there in *all* jurisdictions that
derive from common law.
