Unfair contract terms are clauses in a contract that cause a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations, to the detriment of one party. Under Australian Consumer Law, these terms may be deemed unenforceable if they are deemed unfair or unjust to a party, especially small businesses or consumers.
Identifying unfair contract terms requires a thorough understanding of contract law and the specific protections under Australian Consumer Law. At Allied Legal, we specialise in reviewing contracts and identifying clauses that could be considered unfair, ensuring your business is protected from any potentially harmful terms.
The cost of addressing unfair contract terms depends on the complexity of your contract and the services required. At Allied Legal, we offer transparent pricing with fixed fees starting from $600 for contract reviews, ensuring that you get the best value while protecting your interests.
At Allied Legal, we have extensive expertise in identifying and addressing unfair contract terms for businesses across Australia. Our team is well-versed in Australian Consumer Law and works diligently to ensure your contracts are fair, legally compliant, and designed to protect your business from any potential legal disputes.
