it would cause a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations arising under the contract; and
(b)
it is not reasonably necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the party who would be advantaged by the term; and
(c)
it would cause detriment (whether financial or otherwise) to a party if it were to be applied or relied on.

4 Examples of unfair terms

(1)
Without limiting section 3, the following are examples of the kinds of terms of a consumer contract that may be unfair:
(a)
a term that permits, or has the effect of permitting, one party (but not another party) to avoid or limit performance of the contract;

(h)

(k)
a term that limits, or has the effect of limiting, one party’s right to sue another party;
(l)
a term that limits, or has the effect of limiting, the evidence one party can adduce in proceedings relating to the contract;

(n)
a term of a kind, or a term that has an effect of a kind, prescribed by the regulations.
(2)
Before the Governor-General makes a regulation for the purposes of subsection (1)(n) prescribing a kind of term, or a kind of effect that a term has, the Minister must take into consideration:
(a)
the detriment that a term of that kind would cause to consumers; and
(b)
the impact on business generally of prescribing that kind of term or effect; and
(c)
the public interest.

5 Terms that define main subject matter of consumer contracts etc. are unaffected

(2)

(a)
whether one of the parties has all or most of the bargaining power relating to the transaction;
(b)
whether the contract was prepared by one party before any discussion relating to the transaction occurred between the parties;
(c)
whether another party was, in effect, required either to accept or reject the terms of the contract (other than the terms referred to in section 5(1)) in the form in which they were presented;
(d)
whether another party was given an effective opportunity to negotiate the terms of the contract that were not the terms referred to in section 5(1);

any other matter prescribed by the regulations.

Subsection (1) does not authorise the conferral of a function or power, or the imposition of a duty, by an application law to the extent to which:

The duty is taken to be imposed by this Act in accordance with subsection (3) only to the extent to which imposing the duty:
(a)
is within the legislative powers of the Commonwealth; and
(b)
is consistent with the constitutional doctrines restricting the duties that may be imposed on the entity.
(6)
Subsections (1) to (5) do not limit section 138.

For the purposes of this Division, an application law imposes a duty on a Commonwealth entity if:

(a)
the law confers a function or power on the entity; and
(b)
the circumstances in which the function or power is conferred give rise to an obligation on the entity to perform the function or to exercise the power.

141 Application laws may operate concurrently with this Act

This Act is not intended to exclude the operation of any application law, to the extent that the application law is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.

142 No doubling-up of liabilities

(1) If:

(a)
an act or omission is an offence against this Act and is also an offence against an application law; and
(b)
the offender has been punished for the offence under the

application law; the offender is not liable to be punished for the offence against this Act.

(2) If a person has been ordered to pay a pecuniary penalty under an application law, the person is not liable to a pecuniary penalty under this Act in respect of the same conduct.
