“霸王条款”和“格式合同”都是与消费者日常生活较为紧密的概念。但由于各种原因,我国当前普遍对两者并没有清晰的认识,甚至相互混淆。本文力求通过对两者的比较,包括内容、形式以及规制方式等方面,引导人们走出当前时“霸王条款”和“格式合同”的认识误区,进而更有效地实现对消费者权益的维护。 “Overlord terms” and “format contract” are more closely related to the daily life of consumers. However, due to various reasons, there is generally no clear understanding or even confusion between the two in China. This article seeks to guide people out of the misunderstandings of “Overlord Clauses” and “Contract of form” by comparing the two, including content, form and regulation, so as to achieve more effective protection of consumers’ rights and interests.
