Evergreen clauses are generally enforceable, provided that they are printed clearly and obviously and not buried in fine print where the average person would not notice them. In a few types of "consumer" contracts, there may be specific statutory requirements for placement and type size. The usual rule is that self-renewing contracts are lawful provided that they are not "unconcionable" - meaning that some judge agrees with the complaining party that the clause is grossly unfair.
