They rarely look dangerous on page nine of a fourteen-page agreement. That is the point.
Upload, read the report, decide what to push back on.
Drop in a PDF or DOCX, or paste the text. Every clause gets read, including the ones buried in the exhibits.
An overall risk level, red, yellow and green flags with the exact clause quoted, and a suggested ask for each one.
A Q&A chat scoped to your contract. Ask whether they can really terminate for any reason and get the answer with the clause cited.
Everything a careful reader would flag, organised so you can act on it in one sitting.
Low, moderate or high, with the breakdown of why. No vague "this looks risky".
Every flag cites the section and quotes the sentence, so you know exactly what to point at.
§6.1“Invoices are payable within ninety (90) days of receipt.”
Polite, specific language you can send back to the client, phrased as a negotiation point.
Ask: Net-30 with a 1.5% monthly late fee.
Payment, IP ownership, non-compete, termination, indemnity, late fees. Addressed or not addressed.
Ask anything about the contract. Answers cite the clause they rely on.
A prioritised list to bring to a licensed lawyer, so a paid hour is spent on what matters.
§4. Work and Revisions.
Contractor agrees to deliver the Work in accordance with the Statement of Work. Client shall provide feedback within five (5) business days of each delivery. Contractor shall provide unlimited revisions until the Work meets Client's satisfaction at no additional cost. Time spent on revisions shall not be billable. §4.2The foregoing obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
This is the clause that turns a fixed-price project into an open-ended obligation. "Satisfaction" is subjective, revision time is not billable, and the duty survives termination.
"Revisions capped at two rounds per deliverable. Additional rounds billed hourly. Revision obligations end on termination."
