What if you made the fine print of a contract too small to read?
<p>I was talking with a friend the other day and they asked me what would happen if you made the fine print of a legally binding contract too small to read? Would the person who signed it be able to sue you? Are there any laws against this?</p>

<p>The contents of unreadable fine print would be unenforceable. That is because it does not meet the tenet that parties enter the terms <em>knowingly</em>. Even if the draftsman alleges the counterparty &quot;unreasonably&quot; declined to ask for legible print, the fact-finder be unable to ascertain the parties' legal position pursuant to unreadable print. The rest of the contract is binding and enforceable.</p>

<p>No. It would be pointless. The unreadable print is nothing but meaningless scratch/mark/sign that gives neither party a cause of action.</p>
