The Polish competition authority imposed a hefty fine on PayPal for using unfair clauses in its user agreement, leading to potential financial penalties for users and arbitrary decision-making by the company.


The Polish competition authority, UOKiK, fined PayPal Europe over 106 million PLN for employing unfair contract terms, including a broad range of prohibited actions and severe sanctions for users who breach the terms.
