Article 81 of Civil Code

English translation

If a contract is concluded by adhesion and contains unfair terms, the judge may, upon the application of the adhering party, modify those terms to remove their prejudice to him or exempt him entirely from them, even if his knowledge of them is established, all in accordance with the requirements of justice. Any agreement to the contrary shall be void.
Arabic original
إذا تم العقد بطريق الإذعان, وتضمن شروطا تعسفية، جاز للقاضي، بناء على طلب الطرف المذعن أن يعدل من هذه الشروط بما يرفع عنه إجحافها، أو يعفيه كلية منها ولو ثبت علمه بها، وذلك كله وفقا لما تقتضيه العدالة, ويقع باطلا كل اتفاق على خلاف ذلك.
