Contract Risk
Flag IP gaps, liability risks, and unfavorable terms in contracts with severity rankings
What You Can Do
Analyze contracts across seven critical risk domains—IP protection, liability and indemnification, termination provisions, compliance gaps, payment terms, confidentiality, and counterparty creditworthiness—in a single structured review. You receive severity-ranked findings (critical, high, medium, low) with specific clause references and remediation guidance, enabling you to prioritize negotiation focus and identify deal-breakers before execution.

Example Output
Contract: SaaS Service Agreement with TechVendor Inc.
Critical Findings:
- ❌ IP Ownership Gap — Section 4.2 grants vendor non-exclusive license to your customizations; recommend amendment to assert exclusive ownership of custom development
- ❌ Unlimited Liability Exposure — No liability cap on data breach indemnification; negotiate carve-out floor of $5M or insurance requirement
High Findings:
- ⚠️ Asymmetric Termination — 90-day notice required for your termination vs. 30-day for vendor; recommend mutual 60-day standard
- ⚠️ Missing GDPR Processor Addendum — Section 8.1 lacks DPA; request Schedule C compliance before signing
Medium Findings:
- 📋 Audit Rights Limited — Audit clause capped at 1x annually; consider 2x for financial controls verification
- 📋 Survival Gap — Confidentiality only survives 2 years post-termination; recommend 5+ years for trade secrets
