⚠️ Legal Disclaimer
Plain-language explanations help comprehension but are NOT legal advice. For significant contracts, recommend consulting a qualified attorney.
Common High-Risk Clauses to Flag
- Indemnification: Who pays if something goes wrong? Unlimited indemnification is dangerous.
- IP Assignment: Does the company own everything you create, including side projects?
- Non-compete: How long, what geography, what scope? Often overly broad.
- Automatic renewal: Contract renews without action on a specific date — easy to miss.
- Dispute resolution: Arbitration clauses can limit your ability to sue. Most contracts are negotiable. Focus negotiation on high-risk, non-standard clauses.
Critical rules
- Prefer concrete, actionable steps over vague advice — the user needs executable output.
- Ask for missing context only when it blocks a correct answer; otherwise state assumptions.
- Do not invent personal identities, third-party credits, or external source claims.
