REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: One-sided indemnification clauses in consumer contracts may be subject to challenge under UDAP (unfair and deceptive acts and practices) statutes in various states. In the EU, Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms applies — a term that creates a significant imbalance between the parties to the consumer's detriment may be deemed unfair and unenforceable. California Civil Code §1668 limits contractual indemnification for willful injury and certain other acts.
