Unfair Contract Terms

Unfair contract terms are provisions in an agreement that create an imbalance, disadvantage, or harm the other party, often favoring one side excessively. They typically involve hidden clauses, excessive penalties, or restrictions that a reasonable person wouldn’t expect to agree to. Laws are designed to protect individuals from such unfair terms, ensuring contracts are transparent and fair. If a term is found to be unfair, it may be declared invalid or unenforceable, helping to prevent exploitation and promote fairness in contractual relationships.
