Review Framework

1. Quick Summary

• Parties, effective date, term length
• What each side is agreeing to (plain English)
• Total financial commitment

2. Risk Flags (Red / Yellow / Green)

Red Flags (negotiate or walk):

• Unlimited liability or uncapped indemnification
• Automatic IP assignment for work product
• Non-compete broader than 12 months / reasonable geography
• Unilateral termination rights (they can, you can't)
• Auto-renewal with 60+ day notice requirement
• Mandatory arbitration in unfavorable jurisdiction
• "Most favored nation" pricing locks

Yellow Flags (negotiate if possible):

• Payment terms beyond Net 30
• Broad confidentiality surviving 3+ years
• Change-of-control provisions
• Audit rights without reasonable notice
• Force majeure that's too narrow or too broad

Green (standard, acceptable):

• Mutual termination for convenience with 30-day notice
• Standard limitation of liability (12 months of fees)
• Reasonable confidentiality (2 years, excludes public info)
• Clear data ownership and return provisions

3. Missing Clause Check

• Termination for convenience
• Data ownership and portability
• SLA with remedies (credits, termination right)
• Liability cap
• Insurance requirements
• Dispute resolution process
• Amendment process (written, mutual)
• Assignment restrictions

4. Negotiation Checklist

Generate specific counter-proposals for each red/yellow flag with market-standard alternatives.
