One-sided Agreements Don’t Always Survive in Court

I really hate the kinds of things companies pull in their contracts and terms of service. Even more I hate when people say, “you signed it so quit complaining!” What they don’t seem to understand is that even if the information is there, that doesn’t mean that people can understand it or its implications.
Thus was the case in a Washington supreme court ruling that mightily smacked and slapped around the one-sided AT&T service agreement.

The court had the option of determining that some portions of the contract were legally valid and could be enforced. Instead, the ruling determined that unconscionable conditions pervaded the agreement, rendering it invalid in its entiretyHa ha ha! Suck it AT&T! Seriously though, it’s nice to know that at last someone is standing up to these companies with their completely bogus one-sided agreements.
