What AI detects
- Uncapped liability and carve-outs that quietly remove your protections.
- Payment traps like non-refundable fees, late charges, and auto-renew billing.
- Exit risk such as termination fees, lock-in terms, and narrow cancellation windows.
- Data and privacy terms that allow broad sharing or shift security obligations to you.
- Dispute clauses that force arbitration only, fee shifting, or a distant venue.
Why it matters
- You can overpay when billing terms hide fees, renewals, or price changes.
- You can lose rights when notice rules and deadlines are strict.
- You can get stuck when exit terms add lock-in fees or long notice windows.
- You can face expensive disputes when venue and fee shifting are one-sided.
