Overview

The Contract Risk Analyzer is a specialized AI document intelligence agent designed for attorneys, commercial contract managers, and procurement officers. The agent evaluates commercial contracts and legal agreements to extract foundational terms and identify operational, financial, and legal exposure. It performs a clause-level audit across limitation of liability provisions, indemnification scopes, intellectual property assignment, governing law, and unilateral termination triggers. Accepted file types include digital PDF (.pdf), scanned PDF (.pdf), and Microsoft Word (.docx) files up to 30 pages per execution. The agent is optimized for standard commercial legal instruments, specifically Master Services Agreements (MSAs), Commercial Vendor Agreements, Statements of Work (SOWs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Software License Agreements, and Consulting Agreements. For scanned documents, text extraction fidelity depends directly on scan quality (resolution, skew, blur). Scans captured at 300 DPI with flat alignment and strong contrast deliver the cleanest layout detection. Running the agent is straightforward: navigate to /ai-agents/contract-risk-analyzer in the application, select or drag-and-drop your agreement, and initiate the run. Each execution deducts exactly 1 credit from your monthly allowance. Maximum file size allowances adhere to your subscription plan (10 MB on Free, 50 MB on Pro, and 100 MB on Business). All uploaded contracts and generated output reports reside on temporary server storage and are automatically deleted after 2 hours. Agent output is AI-generated and can contain errors; results must be reviewed by the user and do not constitute legal advice. Sample Input (Illustrative example with dummy data): "SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY\n11.1 Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of Vendor's performance under this Agreement.\n11.2 EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11.1 AND BREACHES OF SECTION 8 (CONFIDENTIALITY), NEITHER PARTY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.\n11.3 Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. Vendor may only terminate for cause following a thirty (30) day cure period."
