What it requires

  • Make general transaction conditions public, so that the party entering the transaction knows or ought to know of them, before relying on them against that party.
  • Keep general transaction conditions equal between the parties; a clause that exempts the issuing party from liability, increases liability or removes the other party's legitimate rights has no effect unless the parties have agreed otherwise.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Article 406(1) defines general transaction conditions as stable terms that one party publishes for general application to the party invited to contract, and the other party who accepts the contract is treated as accepting those terms. Article 406(2) gives general transaction conditions effect against the other party only if they were made public so that the other party knew or ought to have known of them.

Article 406(3) requires general transaction conditions to keep the parties equal and gives no effect to a clause that exempts the issuing party from liability, increases liability or removes the other party's legitimate rights, unless the parties agree otherwise.
