37 Pa. Code § 307.6 - Our policy in preapproving contracts

(a) Under section 2(b) of the PLA (73 P. S. § 2202(b)), the legislative intent is to promote the writing of consumer contracts in plain language. Section 2(b) states, that the PLA will protect consumers from making contracts they do not understand. Finally, the legislative intent is to help consumers to better know their rights and duties under those contracts.

(b) The OAG uses only the test of readability in preapproving consumer contracts. The OAG considers the contract as a whole. The OAG takes into account the nature and complexity of the transactions, the identity of the parties and the information that the parties need about their rights and responsibilities.

(c) We will try to provide helpful information. We cannot rewrite your contract for you.
