Abstract

Unfair term is provided in our legal system in article 46 of E-Commerce Act of 2003, but not only in this law but also in other laws and regulations of our legal system, there is not a definition and criterion for recognition of these terms, but according to the international rules and principles, unfair term is a term that should cause a great inequality and the other side has not been discussed in a separate.
In fact, electronic contracts with regard to their specific features need to predict the principle that respects contractual justice, as the public principles and rules of contracts. For this reason, the lack of influence of the unfair conditions in the Iranian legal system, devoted to electronic contracts, which according to the basis of the assumption of lack of awareness of poor side of the contract, we cannot rule unfair term to be void in all contracts concluded between the parties.
