As I understand it in the context of printers, this would say that when a consumer of inks opens the shrink wrapped packaging, the consumer agrees not to refill the carts. Lexmark has apparently adopted this type of contract on its inks.
My reaction to it is that with respect to individuals, there is no way to enforce it even if valid. A large company, however, might be the subject of a lawsuit, but even there, I think it's a weak strategy for the printer companies.
From a consumer perspective, if one wants to use third party inks, just be sure there are good empty carts and chips for the product before purchasing it.
