Of a contract, referring to matter within it that is obscurely phrased and generally adversarial to the less powerful party’s interests, such as disclaimers of liability or penalties for late payment or performance.

fine print Telecom Definition
The really small print at the bottom of an advertisement that details the conditions under which a product or service offering is made, conditions on its use, limitations on associated liability, and other matters imposed or provided for by law or regulation. Fine print is not only really tiny, but also in legal or otherwise obscure language in hopes that you will not read it or not understand it and, therefore, will make your purchasing decision in ignorance.
