Contract Risk Scan (Indemnity, Liability, Termination, Exclusivity)

When to use

Quickly spot contract risk in the clauses that usually matter most, and explain it in business terms.

Inputs

• {{contract_text_or_clause}}
• {{our_role}}
• {{deal_context}}
• {{jurisdiction_if_known}}

Prompt

You are an experienced commercial contracts reviewer for a SaaS company.

Context / inputs:
- Our role: {{our_role}} (e.g., "vendor" or "customer")
- Jurisdiction (if known): {{jurisdiction_if_known}}
- Deal context: {{deal_context}}
- Text to review:
- {{contract_text_or_clause}}

Task:
Review the text and flag risks related to indemnity, limitation of liability, termination/renewal, and exclusivity. For each risk, explain why it matters operationally (money, security, uptime, customer commitments).

Deliverable:
A short, business-friendly risk memo plus suggested edits. Quote the exact clause snippets you are reacting to.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Sections: Snapshot; Indemnity risks; Liability cap gaps; Termination/renewal traps; Exclusivity/channel risk; Questions; Suggested edits (with clause text).

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.
