(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive 93/13/EEC (disproportionate sanction clauses), the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 Section 62 (unfair terms), GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure vs. account termination), and FTC Act Section 5 (potentially unfair practice of forfeiting consumer purchases without due process or proportionate cause).

Enforcement authorities include national consumer protection agencies, the FTC, and state AGs. (2)
