!!! Overview 
[{$pagename}] (a leonine contract, or a take-it-or-leave-it contract) is a [contract] between two parties, where the terms and conditions of the [contract] are set by one of the parties, and the other party has little or no ability to negotiate more favorable terms and is thus placed in a "take it or leave it" position. 


The proponents of those systems assert the expediency of scale in support of the rigidity of terms, but individuals are left with a situation where economic compulsion of their [dependency] on the service can undermine their leverage and hence their ability to protect their individual rights. Key aspects of this imbalance as reflected in large-standard contract settings include: [2] 
* Lack of granularity: The less-empowered party [MUST] accept a totality of trust and liability, rather than a smaller apportionment. 
* Absence of dynamism: The less-empowered party [MUST] accept the contract in its entirety at the inception of the relationship and can't change the parameters now or in future. 
* No market choice: The less-empowered party is economically compelled to accept an offer due to limits on available alternatives. 
* Inadequate [transparency]: The less-empowered party does not have the means to verify that the other party is acting as promised. 

!! Statute of Frauds[3]
The statute of frauds refers to the requirement that certain kinds of [contracts] be memorialized in a writing, signed by the party to be charged, with sufficient content to evidence the contract
