The UCC allows a court to evaluate a contract for unconscionability at the time it was made. In this case, Olga entered into the contract to buy the refrigerator with installments, and after 36 months, she had paid more than twice the price of a similar stove. This raises the question of whether the contract was unreasonably unfair and one-sided at the time it was made, which the court can evaluate under the UCC.
