legal ground

The format clause in Article 496 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) is a clause drawn up by the parties in advance for reuse, without consulting the other party when concluding the contract. Where a contract is concluded by standard terms, the party providing the standard terms shall follow the principle of fairness to determine the rights and obligations between the parties, and take reasonable measures such as exempting or lightening their responsibilities to remind the other party of the terms that have a significant interest in them, and explain the terms according to the requirements of the other party. If the party providing the standard terms fails to fulfill its obligation to prompt or explain, so that the other party fails to pay attention to or understand the terms that have a significant interest in it, the other party may claim that the terms will not become the content of the contract.
