Example 1: One signed a collage of bank documents affirming a loan, mortgage, bank account, or other matter of the like. Naturally, one did not take the time to read the fine print spread across all 50 pages. Is every statement and qualification mentioned in the document legally binding, or can the signatory claim that he never agreed to the conditions mentioned in the fine print?

Example 2: One signed a rent contract and did not take the time to read through all the details. Can the tenant claim that certain statements are not legally binding due to him not being aware of it at the time of signing?
