This thesis describes and analyze the implementation of Council Directive No. 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 of unfair contract term between consumer and financial services providers. The Directives regulated standard form contract or pre-formulated term between consumer and seller or supplier. The thesis discusses the background of the Directive, the scope of the Directive, the consequences of unfair contract term to the contract, transparency requirement and the requirement of good faith and significant imbalance. According to the Directive, assessment of unfairness in the term of contract shall not relate to main subject matter of the contract and to the adequacy of the price and remuneration against the services or goods supplies in exchange.
