Unconscionable Contracts

Unconscionable contracts are agreements that are so one-sided or unfair that they shock the conscience. These contracts often take advantage of one party's lack of knowledge, bargaining power, or circumstances. For example, if a wealthy company imposes harsh terms on an uninformed individual, a court may deem the contract unconscionable. The law typically prevents such contracts from being enforced to protect vulnerable parties from exploitation. In essence, it ensures fairness and justice in contractual agreements.
