Idiom: the fine print
Note: On a written document, the fine print is often very small in size so it's often difficult to read. It is also often a lengthy amount of information that is difficult to read (especially if it includes legal or technical information).
As an example of the fine print, think of the information in a warranty or the information you must agree to if you update your mobile phone or use an app.
