Indeed, this will be important going forward. Living in EU, with local laws (denmark) being what they are. I hope the conclusion of this suit, will be similar to our laws that state: Any contract signed, that through its terms, makes you relinquish your state-afforded rights. Is by definition void.

Example of a void contract: When Buying a used car, Salesmen makes you sign a contract: "No warranty nor cancelation of contract possible after purchase".

Mmhhh, is it so strong?

I guess what is void is that specific clause. Otherwise, any vendor could include a clause saying "you relinquish some rights" just in the middle of the text and, after the fact, claim that the contract was void and require you to return an item (say, a car).

So, I guess you mean that specific clause?

In German law that would, as a default, actually make the whole contract void, yes. Many contracts therefore contain a clause that hedges against that situation (i.e. something like "if one or more of these items is found void, the rest still applies")

I believe this is how it typicaly works. At least the few laws I've read (Finnish law) voids the offending clauses, not the entire contract.
