Analyze Business Contract Online: Detect Risks in Seconds

How it works

1. Upload your document (PDF or DOCX).
2. AI scans clauses, definitions, and cross-references.
3. BrieflyGo flags risks and explains the practical impact.
4. You get a plain-English summary you can negotiate from.

What risks are detected

• Liability cap is one-sided or full of carve-outs

  You carry exposure while the other side is protected.

• Exclusive venue in a distant jurisdiction

  Enforcement becomes slower and much more expensive.

• Auto-renew with strict notice rules

  You can be locked in for another term unless you cancel exactly the required way.

• Termination fees / make‑whole payments

  Leaving early can require paying the remaining contract value.

• Unilateral price changes

  Costs can rise mid-term without a right to exit.

• Late fees + fee shifting

  A billing dispute can trigger penalties and attorney fee exposure.

• One-sided acceptance criteria

  Work can be rejected and payment delayed indefinitely.

Why it matters

• You can lose time if dispute venue and notice rules are strict or distant.
• You can lose margin if price changes or fee add-ons are allowed with minimal notice.
• You can lose cash if payment terms force upfront payments or short windows.
• You can lose options if assignment and change-of-control terms are one-sided.

Real example

A vendor contract allows unilateral price changes “upon notice”. Rates increase 12% mid-year, adding $1,450 in unplanned spend.

What AI checks

• “termination fee” / “make-whole” / “remaining term”
• “we may change prices upon notice”
• “late fee” / “interest” / “collection costs”
• “prevailing party” / “attorneys’ fees”
• “to our satisfaction” / “sole discretion” (acceptance)
• “exclusive jurisdiction” / “venue” / “governing law”
• “auto-renew” + “30/60/90 days prior written notice”

Why use AI

• AI surfaces dispute clauses that make enforcement expensive (venue, fee shifting, arbitration).
• Business contracts hide risk across payment, renewal, and liability; AI pulls it into one checklist.
• AI flags notice traps (mail-only, narrow windows, specific addresses).
• AI highlights one-sided acceptance and suspension language that breaks cash-flow.

FAQ

• Is it safe to upload documents?BrieflyGo is designed to analyze documents and return a risk report. Avoid uploading extra personal data you don't need for the analysis.
• Is this legal advice?No. It's an educational risk scan that helps you spot wording to negotiate or review further.
• How do I use the results? Use the flagged clauses as a checklist: ask for limits, clearer definitions, and fairer terms.
• When should I scan? Before you sign - and again after edits, because risk often changes in the final draft.
