- ''I have read and agree to the terms and conditions'' is one of the biggest lies on the Internet. Consumers rarely read the contracts they are required to accept \cite{Obar2020TheBL}. We conclude agreements over the Internet daily. But do we know the content of these agreements? Do we check potential unfair statements? On the Internet, we probably skip most of the Terms and Conditions. However, we must remember that we have concluded many more contracts. Imagine that we want to buy a house, a car, send our kids to the nursery, open a bank account, or many more. In all these situations, you will need to conclude the contract, but there is a high probability that you will not read the entire agreement with proper understanding. European consumer law aims to prevent businesses from using so-called ''unfair contractual terms'' in their unilaterally drafted contracts, requiring consumers to accept.
