Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exemption clauses are clauses included in a contract that seek to limit or exclude liability. They are usually drafted by the party with greater bargaining power and are often one-sided. Courts generally interpret these clauses strictly against the party relying on them. This means that any ambiguity in the clause will be interpreted in favor of the party seeking to rely on it. This approach is taken because exemption clauses can have serious consequences for the protection of consumer rights and public policy.
