Abstract

The answer to the question what would constitute a contract term in the recent years, espe- cially with the introduction of the e-commerce, is changing. Traditionally a contract is understood as legal act that the parties have negotiated and agreed upon. The changes in the manners of trade of goods and services have brought a new light to this definition. Very often in the contemporary trade the parties (only) agree to what has been proposed and drafted by the other party. This provides for an opportunity such position to be misused to the detriment of the other party, which does not have the time or the knowledge to properly understand the meaning of specific contract clauses. The law is not and cannot be silent on this situation. Its role is to provide grounds for fair dealings and equal- ity of the parties. The legal mechanisms for the assessment of the fairness of specific contract terms exist for this purpose
