open to judicial mitigation
Explanation:
(or in your case, 'not' open...) A contractual attempt to exclude the power of the courts to adjust what are sometimes exorbitantly high contractual penalties, and I'd tend to use 'penalties' rather than 'fines', as the latter term makes me think more of criminal court sanctions.
