Example Output
Risk Assessment Report Example:
Agreement: Software License Agreement v2.3 (Licensor: TechCorp, Licensee: CloudSys)
Overall Risk Score: 6.2/10 (Moderate Risk)
| Clause | Risk Level | Finding | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusivity (§3.1) | 🔴 High | Exclusive worldwide license locks both parties for 10 years with no performance minimums | Add performance milestones or include termination-for-convenience option |
| IP Indemnification (§5.2) | 🟡 Medium | Licensee assumes full indemnification but Licensor retains modification rights | Clarify: who owns derivatives? Add cap on indemnity obligations |
| Termination (§8) | 🟢 Low | 90-day termination notice, data return obligations clearly defined | Compliance: ✅ Acceptable |
| Territory Restrictions (§2.1) | 🟡 Medium | EU + APAC only, but customers in Middle East region unclear | Amend to explicitly include/exclude high-growth regions |
Compliance Checklist:
- ✅ GDPR data processing addendum attached
- ❌ Export controls (EAR): Missing deemed export clause for foreign nationals
- ✅ Tax reporting: Royalty withholding provisions included
- ⚠️ Antitrust: Non-compete language may trigger scrutiny in EU competition law
Annotated Agreement Example:
[MARKED-UP CLAUSE] §5.3 "Licensor warrants that this Software does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights."
- 💡 Analysis: This is an absolute warranty. Consider adding qualifiers like "to Licensor's knowledge" and a time limit on breach notification. Current language exposes Licensor to unlimited indemnification claims.
