Standard terms are clauses drafted in advance by a party for repeated use and not negotiated with the other party when concluding the contract.

Where a contract is concluded using standard terms, the party providing them shall determine the parties' rights and obligations under the principle of fairness, take reasonable measures to draw the other party's attention to clauses of major interest to them (such as those exempting or mitigating its own liability), and explain such clauses upon request. If the providing party fails to perform this duty of notification or explanation, causing the other party to fail to notice or understand a clause of major interest to them, the other party may claim that such clause does not form part of the contract.

格式条款是当事人为了重复使用而预先拟定，并在订立合同时未与对方协商的条款。

采用格式条款订立合同的，提供格式条款的一方应当遵循公平原则确定当事人之间的权利和义务，并采取合理的方式提示对方注意免除或者减轻其责任等与对方有重大利害关系的条款，按照对方的要求，对该条款予以说明。提供格式条款的一方未履行提示或者说明义务，致使对方没有注意或者理解与其有重大利害关系的条款的，对方可以主张该条款不成为合同的内容。
