Template

Review the contract clause or provision in {clause_text} for risk, reading it as an adversary would. (1) Parse the plain meaning: identify who is obligated to do what, when, and the precise conditions and triggers — read the actual words, not what you assume the clause is meant to say, since disputes turn on the text as written. (2) Identify the risk allocation: which party bears which risk, and whether it's balanced or one-sided given the parties' relative bargaining position and the deal's economics. (3) Hunt the standard danger points: uncapped liability, one-way indemnification, automatic renewal, unilateral modification rights, broad termination-for-convenience against you, and definitions that quietly expand obligations elsewhere. (4) Test the edge cases: what happens on breach, on early termination, on a dispute, on the counterparty's insolvency — trace the clause's effect in the scenarios where it actually matters. (5) Check interactions with other provisions (a limitation of liability undercut by a carve-out, a governing-law clause that changes enforceability). (6) Flag each material risk by severity, note where wording is ambiguous enough to litigate, and suggest what to negotiate. State this is issue-spotting to inform review by a qualified attorney, not a substitute for it.
