I don't know much, but I do know that legal agreements in the US are
NOT transitive in this way, unless each agreement is included by
reference in the other.
They aren't legally, but they are effectively.

Ok, enough legal debate.  Let me use a strictly US analogy:  The death
penalty for shooting a cop is a legal deterrent, but a wise cop still
wears a bulletproof vest.

Filter to protect your own network, and, when necessary and possible,
your customers from each other and the Internet from your customers.
Legalisms punish, after the fact.
