Main subject matter

What the customer buys: for Seedlark, the app and what it does. With the price, it escapes the fairness test, but only if both are in plain words and easy to see. A clause that lets the price change later can still be tested. Chapter 3 · see Unfair term

Explained in Chapter 3, Unfair Terms: the Consumer Rights Act Fairness Test, of Consumer Terms.

How it comes up, in Chapter 3
Section 64 makes one exception. The price and the main subject matter (what the customer buys) are not tested for fairness, if they are in plain words and easy to see. So no court asks whether £6 a month is too much.
