These are fun, Australians can’t waive any of their rights, including consumer rights and rights to access the courts.
Also, it's illegal in Australia for a business to make "false or misleading representations" about those rights. Maximum penalty is 10% of annual revenue.
The contract isn't just unenforceable, it's just straight up illegal.
Wait, does that mean we could actually see some companies get punished for making improper terms and conditions?
I would really like to see companies get strongly punished for EULAs/etc that turn out to be illegal/improper.
I think this is true in any civil country...
