11.01.2022 NEW UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS REGIME From 12 November 2016, small business standard form contracts will be afforded the same protections from unfair contract terms that exist for consumers. A small business contract is defined as:... (a) A contract that is for the supply of goods or services, or a sale or grant of an interest in land; and (b) at the time the contract is entered into, at least one party to the contract is a business that employs fewer than 20 persons; and (c) either: (i) the upfront price payable under the contract does not exceed $300,000; or (ii) the contract has a duration of more than 12 months and the upfront price payable under the contract does not exceed $1,000,000. Whether a contract is deemed a standard form contract is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Indicators of a standard form contract include whether the terms are: proposed on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis; prepared by one party prior to discussions between any parties; or proposed in a situation where one party has greater bargaining power than the other. The test applicable for unfair terms in consumer contracts is the same for small businesses, such that the term will be unfair where it causes significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations under the contract, is not reasonably necessary to protect the party advantaged by the term and where it would cause detriment to a party if applied or relied upon. A wide variety of terms will be affected by this broad meaning of unfairness and examples of unfair terms can be viewed in section 25 of the Australian Consumer Law (Cth) as contained in schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). However, any unfairness can be tempered by increased transparency of these terms. For example, a telecommunications service provider’s standard form consumer contracts contained a provision for the provider to cancel or suspend services in the event of ‘excessive or unusual use’. This clause would have been unfair unless ‘excessive or unusual use’ was specifically defined elsewhere in the contract. Most standard form contracts may not require reconstruction in their entirety, however, a comprehensive review of all standard form contracts should be undertaken to prevent key terms of the contract from being unenforceable. Especially, where continued use of an unfair term can lead to claims of misleading and deceptive conduct. Need to know more?
