(a) If a court as a matter of law finds a lease contract or any term thereof to have been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the contract, enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable term or so limit the application of an unconscionable term as to avoid an unconscionable result.
(b) With respect to a consumer lease, if the court finds as a matter of law that a lease contract or a term of the contract was induced by unconscionable conduct or that unconscionable conduct has occurred in the collection of a claim arising from the lease contract, the court may grant appropriate relief.
(c) If it is claimed or appears to the court that a lease contract or any term thereof, or any conduct that induced a lease contract or any term thereof or that occurred in the collection of a claim arising from the lease contract, may be unconscionable, the parties must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to the commercial setting, purpose and effect of the lease contract, term or conduct to aid the court in making the determination.
