2. What were the facts in the case?

Weaver, a high school dropout, leased a gas station form American Oil Co and signed a standard agreement that was prepared by the oil companys lawyer. The contract contained a clause in fine print that provided that the oil company would not be liable for any injury occurring on the premises regardless of fault. No one representing the oil company called Weavers attention to the clause or explained it to him. In addition, the lease provided that Weaver would have to pay American Oil for any loss or damages even if they resulted from the oil companys negligence. An employee of the oil company spilled gasoline on Weaver and his assistant causing them to be burned and injured. The oil company brought an action seeking to be relieved of liability for the injury and to have Weaver held liable for any damages to the assistant.
