Not always.

For example, UK law says that you have to right to opt out of any directory
of subscribers *and any contractual term purporting to remove this right is
automatically void*.

I'm not aware of any law requiring ISPs to allow spam (and would scream
loudly if one was proposed), but blanket statement like "contracts can be
more restrictive than the law" should be avoided.
