There is no pre-existing limits to what can be included in the contract except that of the law (you can contractually promote something that would be illegal, e.g. a car rental company could not impose to clients to drive at 150 km/h) and what would breach customer protection and other regulatory texts (e.g in France, banks cannot just contractually charge 'any' interest rate although in the UK and US, for example, they can). All the examples that I provided corresponded to the conditions that sellers contractually impose to buyers through their terms and conditions and which have nothing to do with the price of the service provided (e.g. dress code).
