Section 48-603C - UNCONSCIONABLE METHODS, ACTS OR PRACTICES(1) Any unconscionable method, act or practice in the conduct of any trade or commerce violates the provisions of this chapter whether it occurs before, during, or after the conduct of the trade or commerce.(2) In determining whether a method, act or practice is unconscionable, the following circumstances shall be taken into consideration by the court:(a) Whether the alleged violator knowingly or with reason to know, took advantage of a consumer reasonably unable to protect his interest because of physical infirmity, ignorance, illiteracy, inability to understand the language of the agreement or similar factor;(b) Whether, at the time the consumer transaction was entered into, the alleged violator knew or had reason to know that the price grossly exceeded the price at which similar goods or services were readily available in similar transactions by similar persons, although price alone is insufficient to prove an unconscionable method, act or practice;(c) Whether the alleged violator knowingly or with reason to know, induced the consumer to enter into a transaction that was excessively one-sided in favor of the alleged violator;(d) Whether the sales conduct or pattern of sales conduct would outrage or offend the public conscience, as determined by the court.[48-603C, added 1990, ch. 273, sec. 3, p. 769.]
