unconscionable agreements

Unconscionable agreements are contracts that are so unfair or one-sided that they shock the conscience. They often occur when one party has significantly more power or information than the other, leading to terms that unfairly disadvantage the weaker party. Courts may deem such agreements unenforceable because they violate principles of justice and fairness. The key idea is that the agreement is fundamentally unjust, not just a bad deal, and the law can set it aside to protect individuals from exploitation or excessive unfairness.
