Except if you bypassed payment and used the service in a manner that was not intended, most likely you were by definition not undertaking "strict adherance" to service terms ?

Say you're on a plane from Canada to Hong Kong (random example), which country's laws would be applicable here? The country where the airplane is registered?

For all intents and purposes it is the country of registration of the aircraft.

There are one or two exceptions to the rule, but they would not be applicable in this scenario. Mostly stuff relating to air safety. For example, if the aircraft did something against the aviaition laws of the country being overflown. Or hijackings etc.
