The main issue is that it leaves no room for<br>negotiation. Scholars used to argue that the boilerplate contract was bad for consumer<br>protection. This research aims to elaborate that either a boilerplate contract can be legally and<br>commercially acceptable from the perspective of Indonesian laws and regulations or not. The<br>researcher conducted a comparative legal study from two common law countries: the United<br>Kingdom and Singapore. This research is normative legal research, using secondary data,<br>mainly primary legal sources. Data were obtained through literature research using google<br>machine, with main keywords are "standard," "boilerplate," and "adhesion," combined with<br>"contract." Collected data were reviewed using content analysis to obtain only the most relevant<br>data. Data used for the final analysis were data from the United Kingdom, Singapore, and<br>Indonesia. The final analysis was conducted using a qualitative approach with a comparative<br>approach. The discussion proved that boilerplate contracts could and shall not be generally<br>considered as legally or commercially acceptable. It must consider whether the "crucial" terms<br>and conditions have been fairly informed or presented before the contract's conclusion. They<br>can be performed without changing the real meaning of the transaction. The researcher finally<br>concluded that Indonesian law on consumer protection that regulated the boilerplate contract<br>needs to be amended.</p> ER -
