Summary/Abstract: As a rule, legal transactions are governed under the principle of the freedom of contract, though this does not mean that each provision included in a contract will be lawful, especially if a consumer is one of the parties to the contractual relationship. The legislator, whose aim is to equate the positions of the undertaking and the consumer, introduces a number of regulations addressing the inclusion of abusive clauses in a contract/standard contract. The paper discusses the definition of unlawful provisions correlated with forms of reviewing them with reference to amendments introduced in this scope.
