This Restatement project draws on the Restatement Second of Contracts, the Uniform Commercial Code, and on court opinions in cases involving disputes between businesses and consumers. The project does not cover all possible aspects of the law that may govern these disputes, but instead has a focus primarily on the rules that determine how terms are adopted and which processes a business can use to introduce and modify terms in the agreement.
The Restatement is organized as follows:
§ 1. Definitions and Scope
§ 3. Modification of Standard Contract Terms
§ 4. Discretionary Obligations
§ 5. Unconscionability
§ 6. Deception
§ 7. Affirmations of Fact and Promises That Are Part of the Consumer Contract Terms
§ 8. Standard Contract Terms and the Parol Evidence Rule
§ 9. Effects of Derogation from Mandatory Rules
