Can I Add a Clause in My Contract That Overrides Indian Law?

 Can I Add a Clause in My Contract That Overrides Indian Law? 🧾🧐⚖️

A startup founder asked us:
"Can I put a clause in my agreement that says we won’t follow the Consumer Protection Act, just in case?" 🤨📄🔥

✅ Short Answer: Nope. You can write it — but it’ll be as useless as a parachute on a submarine. 🪂🚫⚓

📚 Here’s What Indian Law Says About Contract Clauses:
🔹 Contracts in India are governed by the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
🔹 You cannot draft a clause that goes against public policy or statutory rights (like Consumer Protection Act, Labour Laws, etc.)
🔹 Any such clause — no matter how clever it sounds — is void and unenforceable. 🧨

🧠 Some Examples of Clauses That Don’t Work:
❌ “The company is not responsible for any defects under the Consumer Protection Act”
❌ “The employee waives all rights under the Labour Laws of India”
❌ “In case of dispute, we’ll only follow ‘Company Vibes’ and not Indian law” 😅

✅ Clauses That Can Be Used Wisely:
✔ Arbitration clauses (under Arbitration and Conciliation Act)
✔ Jurisdiction clauses (but can’t deny statutory forums)
✔ Confidentiality, indemnity, IP protection — all good, if they don’t violate law

😂 Pro Tip from the Legal Trenches:
Just because it’s in your contract, doesn’t mean it’ll stand up in court.
Contracts aren’t magic spells — Indian law still rules the kingdom! 🧙⚖️👑

Any agreement signed by a minor is void ab initio — meaning legally useless from the start ! ❌📄 📌 Legal Nuggets You Should Know: ✅ Age of contract validity = 18 years (or 21 in special guardianship cases) ✅ Even if a minor agrees willingly, the contract holds no legal weight ✅ No ratification allowed once the minor becomes an adult ✅ BUT a minor can receive benefits (like scholarships, gifts) — just can’t be bound to liabilities #VoidContract #ContractAct1872 #LegalCapacityIndia #MinorRights 🎯 Why It Matters: ✔️ Protects minors from exploitation ✔️ Ensures businesses verify legal cap...
