Small business customers complained about Fujifilm’s standard contracts — and the ACCC stepped in. The Federal Court declared 38 clauses across 11 contracts “unfair”, including automatic renewals, one-sided price increases, and heavy exit fees.
This shows that regulators actively protect small businesses when standard contracts create an imbalance. Long-term protection, flexibility, and fairness are now possible — even in business-to-business agreements.
Small business owners: always review leases, supply agreements, and service contracts carefully. Ask questions, negotiate, and don’t assume standard terms are untouchable. Protect your rights, protect your business.
