As in-house counsel, it is essential to ensure your business contracts do not contain unfair contract terms. Consumers and small businesses are protected from such terms under the Australian Consumer Law, and if your business is not compliant, you risk severe penalties and reputational damage.
To help you protect your business, Stephen Drysdale (Senior Lawyer) and Tim Jones (Lawyer) discuss:
+ what are unfair contract terms (UCT) and recent changes;
+ which contracts UCT apply to;
+ examples of UCT;
+ practical tips; and
+ consequences of non-compliance.
