2011 Kansas Code
Chapter 50. - UNFAIR TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
Article 6. - CONSUMER PROTECTION
50-627 Unconscionable acts and practices.

50-627.Unconscionable acts and practices. (a) No supplier shall engage in any unconscionable act or practice in connection with a consumer transaction.  An unconscionable act or practice violates this act whether it occurs before, during or after the transaction.

(b) The unconscionability of an act or practice is a question for the court.  In determining whether an act or practice is unconscionable, the court shall consider circumstances of which the supplier knew or had reason to know, such as, but not limited to the following that:

(1)  The supplier took advantage of the inability of the consumer reasonably to protect the consumer's interests because of the consumer's physical infirmity, ignorance, illiteracy, inability to understand the language of an agreement or similar factor;

(2)  when the consumer transaction was entered into, the price grossly exceeded the price at which similar property or services were readily obtainable in similar transactions by similar consumers;

(3)  the consumer was unable to receive a material benefit from the subject of the transaction;

(4)  when the consumer transaction was entered into, there was no reasonable probability of payment of the obligation in full by the consumer;

(5)  the transaction the supplier induced the consumer to enter into was excessively onesided in favor of the supplier;

(6)  the supplier made a misleading statement of opinion on which the consumer was likely to rely to the consumer's detriment; and

(7)  except as provided by K.S.A. 50-639, and amendments thereto, the supplier excluded, modified or otherwise attempted to limit either the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or any remedy provided by law for a breach of those warranties.
