This is also federal law:See the net for MULTIPLE examples of this happening. This IS NOT even close to the first time this has happened. He can certainly hire a bottom feeder and try to sue. I know a lot of people "think" this is unfair and all. I agree it sucks. You are dealing with Federal law. Good luck getting it tossed out any time soon.
Uniform Commercial Code › U.C.C. - ARTICLE 2 - SALES (2002) › PART 3. GENERAL OBLIGATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF CONTRACT
§ 2-302. Unconscionable contract or Clause.
(1) If the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.
(2) When it is claimed, or appears to the court that the contract or any clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to its commercial setting, purpose and effect to aid the court in making the determination.
- Congress has enacted the UCC. UCC 2-302 provides that the court may refuse to enforce a contract which it finds to be unconscionable at the time it was made.
- When a party of little bargaining power, and hence little real choice, signs a commercially unreasonable contract with little or no knowledge of its terms, it is hardly likely that consent was ever given to all the terms.
