Adhesion Contract

An adhesion contract is a type of written agreement where one party creates the terms and the other party has little to no ability to negotiate those terms. These contracts often use standardized language and are presented on a "take it or leave it" basis, such as insurance policies or online user agreements. While they are legally enforceable, they can sometimes be challenged in court if deemed excessively one-sided or unfair. Essentially, adhesion contracts can limit a person's ability to fully understand or negotiate the consequences of the contract, making them a topic of legal scrutiny.
