Sometimes a contract is a bad contract, but it's not known how bad at first reading. There should absolutely be a mechanism for nullifying in whole or in part contracts that are this way. Especially if the contract forces you to purchase equipment that does not work. After all, a contract is just a piece of paper than can easily be torn up. You're trying to make it some magical binding spell type of thing instead

The piece of paper just represents the contract, other forms of contracts exist (such as digital, verbal). I agree there should be an easier way to get out of shitty ones. But make it too easy and you make contracts too weak. It's a balancing act.


There is a mechanism, a judge can decide to unilaterally annul a contract and order the parties involve to form a new one that they mediate the negotiation and terms of.


including if there's an arbitration clause?
