legible or is less than eight points in depth or five and one-half
points in depth for upper case type may not be received in evidence in
any trial, hearing or proceeding on behalf of the party who printed or
prepared such contract or agreement, or who caused said agreement or
contract to be printed or prepared. As used in the immediately preceding

agreements or contracts entered into prior to the effective date of this
