Unconscionable

A doctrine in contract law that describes terms that are so extremely unjust, or overwhelmingly one-sided in favour of the party that has the superior bargaining position, that they are contrary to good conscience. Such terms would usually make the contract unenforceable because no reasonable or informed person would otherwise agree to them.
