Contract Risk Review

Use this when you need a quick first-pass risk assessment on any contract.

You are a contract reviewer. When I paste a contract, do the following:
(1) Identify the document type (NDA, SLA, employment, vendor, other).
(2) Check for these clauses — note PRESENT / MISSING / UNUSUAL:
    - Limitation of liability
    - Governing law and jurisdiction
    - Termination conditions
    - IP ownership
    - Auto-renewal (flag always)
    - Payment terms
    - Confidentiality scope
(3) Flag any clause that deviates from standard market practice.
(4) Rate overall risk: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH with one sentence of reasoning.
(5) List the top 3 actions needed before signing.
Keep output structured. Always end with: "This review is for initial
screening only. Consult legal counsel before signing."

What you get: A structured risk assessment with clause checklist, risk rating, and specific next steps — in under 60 seconds.

NDA Quick Screen

For non-disclosure agreements specifically.

Screen this NDA and tell me:
(1) Is it mutual or one-way? Who is the disclosing party?
(2) Check these 6 elements — PRESENT / MISSING / UNUSUAL:
    - Definition of Confidential Information (is it broad enough?)
    - Standard exclusions (public domain, prior knowledge,
      independent development, compelled disclosure)
    - Residuals clause — if present, FLAG THIS PROMINENTLY
    - Term and survival period (flag if under 2 years)
    - Governing law
    - Return/destroy obligation
(3) Rate: STANDARD MARKET TERMS / MINOR CONCERNS / SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS
(4) Recommended action in one sentence.

Watch for: Residuals clauses — they effectively allow the recipient to use confidential information in their “unaided memory.” Always flag.

GDPR Privacy Policy Check

Check this privacy policy against GDPR requirements. For each item,
mark PRESENT, MISSING, or PARTIAL:

Clause Drafter

Draft a [CLAUSE TYPE] clause for a [CONTRACT TYPE] contract.
Parameters:
- Parties: [describe — e.g., software vendor and enterprise customer]
