Re: Re: Fwd: CNI-COPYRIGHT Digest #2106

I believe many of the cases dealing with unconscionable contracts dealt with people buying furniture from stores on credit that required the customers to give the store a right to walk (literally) into their house and take back the furniture, no matter how much was paid on it. Something like that. The point was that the customer (usually impoverished) had no choice but to sign the agreement, and the terms were so unequal, and the bargaining position of the parties was so one sided, that the courts refused to enforce those agreements.
