                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

UNCONSCIONABLE CONTRACT OR TERM (§ 59.1-501.11)

a. If a court as a matter of law finds a contract or a term thereof to have been
unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the
contract, enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable term,
or limit the application of the unconscionable term so as to avoid an
unconscionable result.

b. If a court as a matter of law finds a contract or a term thereof has been
induced by unconscionable conduct or that unconscionable conduct has occurred in
the collection of a claim arising from the contract, the court may grant
appropriate relief.

c. If it is claimed or appears to the court that a contract or term thereof may
be unconscionable, the parties must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to
present evidence as to its commercial setting, purpose, and effect to aid the
court in making the determination.
