The principle that unfair contract terms simply have to be eliminated from the contract, whereas the remainder of the contract continues to bind the parties, does not raise difficulties in cases where the contract can be performed without the unfair contract term(s). For example, this can be the case for contractual penalties such as late payment interests (303), clauses limiting the trader's liability for improper performance, or choice-of-law, jurisdiction or arbitration clauses. Cases where this is more complicated are discussed in Section 4.3.2.
