Can a TOS waive any rights? Surely there are some unalienable rights.

I, personally, don't feel that "making money by doing business in a particular market" should be a right it is illegal to waive.

If it were inalienable, things like regional distribution agreements would be void, since you could sign away your ability to sell in a certain country and then compete with your distributor anyway.

Let's keep some perspective here - there is no "inalienable right to sell apps to smartphone users via a private commercial storefront".
