Substantive Unconscionability

Substantive Unconscionability is a form of contractual unconscionability that is established by the inherent unfairness of the contract’s terms themselves, namely provisions that are so one-sided, harsh, or oppressive in their allocation of rights and obligations that they create a grossly disproportionate exchange and are deemed contrary to good conscience, as distinct from defects in the bargaining process.
