Recent legislative initiatives in EU, the USA and Australia regarding consumer protection focused on the necessity of creating clear and fair contracts for consumers. At the same time, commercial contracts seem to be excluded from this discussion. The following paper aims to compare business-to-business and business-to-consumer contracts through the audience analysis and observe whether commercial contracts also require simplification and how differences in a number of users, nature of the relationship and ways of using a contract can influence approaches to contract simplification.
