In my opinion and understanding of contract law, they clearly state that only one course is allowed and subsequent classes will be billed at prevailing rate. Since this is offered as a contest, this is a unilateral contract. Sophia's contest constituted a unilateral offer. Your perfomance (signing up and taking the course is acceptance of the contract. You are bound as you have now benefited to their service. The contract comes with a clause that kicks in during certain events, this event being taking more than one course.
I highly doubt Sophia would want to risk this kind of bad publicity, so I doubt they would pursue legal action. But if they do, seek the advice of a professional lawyer.
I agree. Their lack of programming to prevent people from breaching the contract does not void the contract. That's like saying that a burglar didn't commit a crime because the owner didn't lock his door.
