But you would totally be allowed to break that safe to get it.  Or assuming that safe belonged to someone else, get a court order to force them to open the safe.

Indeed. The concept here is not all contracts are created equal. EULAs as an example have a horrible track record. The few times they have been tested in court has not gone well as I recall. Contracts can, and routinely are completely invalidated because the law supercedes any dealings the citizens of a country have.

From my knwledge, EULAs never hold up in court, ever. In the EU this is extreme fact and is why you never hear about this crap over there.
