Contracts Webinar Series: Unfair Contract terms – why you should care

24 August 2021 | 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Did you know the planned reforms to the Australian Consumer Law means penalties could be imposed on businesses who impose unfair contract terms on their customers? While this may improve the negotiating power of small businesses trading with a larger party, it conversely creates risk for small businesses dealing with their own customers.

So what does this all mean and how will the changes impact you? Join us for this free webinar to explore an overview of the unfair contracts regime in Australia, including:

  • What is an unfair contract term
  • What is changing from the old regime
  • Which contracts the changes apply to
  • The practical effects to be mindful of for your business

It is intended you walk away from this session with an understanding of how to identify unfair contract terms and the new changes planned to come into effect that may impact your business.

Questions will be taken on the day but you can also submit your questions in writing before the session to dominique.engelter@whlaw.com.au.

A recording of the webinar will be made available to those registered to attend.
