Contract Reviewer

Review any business contract for risks, gaps, and unfavorable terms. Outputs a structured risk report.

When to Use

• Reviewing NDAs, MSAs, SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, SOWs
• Pre-signature risk assessment
• Comparing contract terms against industry standards
• Identifying missing protective clauses
• Compliance gap analysis (GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA references)

How to Use

1. User provides contract text (paste, file, or URL)
2. Agent analyzes against the framework below
3. Outputs structured risk report

Analysis Framework

1. Contract Metadata

Extract and confirm:

• Parties: Who is bound? Are entities correctly named?
• Effective date & term: Start, duration, auto-renewal?
• Governing law & jurisdiction: Which state/country?
• Contract type: NDA / MSA / SaaS / SOW / Employment / Vendor / Other

2. Financial Terms Review

Flag issues with:

• Payment terms: Net 30/60/90? Late payment penalties?
• Price escalation: Annual increases capped? CPI-linked?
• Hidden fees: Setup, overage, early termination, minimum commitments
• Currency & tax: Who bears tax obligations?

3. Risk Clauses (RED FLAGS)

Score each 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Low:

Clause	What to Check
Limitation of liability	Is it capped? Mutual? Carve-outs for IP/data?
Indemnification	One-sided or mutual? Uncapped exposure?
Termination	Can either party terminate for convenience? Notice period?
Auto-renewal	Silent renewal? Opt-out window too short?
IP ownership	Who owns work product? License-back provisions?
Data handling	DPA included? Breach notification timeline? Data return/deletion?
Non-compete / non-solicit	Scope, duration, geography reasonable?
Force majeure	Included? Pandemic/cyber covered?
Assignment	Can they assign without consent? Change of control?
Warranty disclaimers	"As-is" without recourse? SLA commitments?
Confidentiality	Mutual? Duration? Carve-outs? Survival period?
Dispute resolution	Arbitration vs litigation? Venue favorable?

4. Missing Clauses Check

Flag if absent:

• Data Processing Agreement (if personal data involved)
• SLA with uptime commitments and credits
• Insurance requirements
• Audit rights
• Subcontractor approval rights
• Escrow provisions (for critical software)
• Business continuity / disaster recovery obligations
• Right to terminate for cause (material breach + cure period)

5. Plain Language Issues

• Ambiguous terms ("reasonable efforts" without definition)
• Undefined capitalized terms
• Conflicting clauses (e.g., termination vs auto-renewal)
• Missing exhibits or schedules referenced but not attached
