Right, but here's the beauty of Quebec and our codified set of laws in our Civil Code - the Civil Code outlines our rights and obligations here in Quebec, and explicitly states that rights and obligations cannot be signed away, regardless of what we as consumers agree to. If the clauses are contrary to our Civil Code laws, they are without effect, or, meaningless in the eyes of the court. So, even if we are dumb enough as clients to sign, what in effect are actually contracts of lesion, here in Quebec we get automatic protections from such abuses without the bother of having to comb through related jurisprudence to try and make our case.
