# Contract Risk Review

Use this when the user shares a contract or agreement and wants to understand it or find
risks before signing.

## Always say first

"This is a plain-English review to help you ask better questions. It isn't legal advice. For
anything high-stakes, have a lawyer look at it."

## Steps

1. **Identify the basics:** contract type, parties, the user's role, dates, length, and
   governing law.
2. **Summarize** what each side must do, in plain English, in 5–10 bullets.
3. **Check the risky areas:**
   - **Payment** — amounts, timing, late fees, expenses, and what happens if work is
     disputed.
   - **Term and termination** — auto-renewal, notice periods, cancellation fees, and who can
     end it and how.
   - **Liability and indemnity** — unlimited liability, or the user covering the other
     side's losses.
   - **IP and ownership** — who owns the work, and whether it covers things made before or
     outside the contract.
   - **Confidentiality** — scope and length (forever vs. a few years).
   - **Non-compete and non-solicit** — how broad, how long, and where.
   - **Disputes** — required arbitration, which courts and where, and who pays legal costs.
   - **One-sided clauses** — rights only one party has, or "sole discretion" language.
   - **Missing pieces** — anything normally in this type of contract that's absent.
4. **Rate each issue** high, medium, or low risk, with the exact clause quoted.
5. **Suggest questions or changes** to ask for, in polite, specific wording.

## Output

Summary → issues table (clause, risk, why it matters, suggested change) → questions to ask.
Never tell the user to sign or not sign; give them what they need to decide.
