Not sure about the US, but in many parts of Europe, contracts are subject to law, and cannot override it. But new laws can override existing contracts.
I assume it is the same in the US, because all US contracts I saw contained an "Invalid Clauses"-clause: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/invalid-clauses https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/invalid-clauses
Aren't there any rules on loans in the US too? To my knowledge, there are strict limitations as to bundling of services.

Or not. If the case is clear cut.
- lumost 6y agocontracts are subject to law but minimal regulation. Bank loans are regulated - B2B load arrangements minimally so. My point was that Jane and BigCo have aligned incentives - as long as they aren't actually breaking a law then the contract will hold. Variable Interest Entities and similar loan arrangements are legal. Hedge funds regularly "lend" assets through hypothecation etc.
