§ 2.302. UNCONSCIONABLE CONTRACT OR CLAUSE.  (a) If the 
court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the 
contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the 
court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the 
remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it 
may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to 
avoid any unconscionable result.
	(b)  When it is claimed or appears to the court that the 
contract or any clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties 
shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as 
to its commercial setting, purpose and effect to aid the court in 
making the determination.
