Most contract risk sits in a small number of clauses: who is liable for what, how the agreement ends, when it renews, and which court decides disputes. A consistent checklist, applied the same way every time, catches more than a tired reader on page 60.
The checklist
| Clause | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Parties | Is the signing entity the one we actually deal with? |
| Term & renewal | Does it renew automatically, and what notice stops it? |
| Termination | Can we exit for convenience? What does it cost? |
| Liability cap | Is it capped, and does the cap cover data or IP claims? |
| Indemnities | Are they mutual, and are they uncapped? |
| Payment | Due dates, late interest, currency and exchange-rate risk |
| Governing law | Which law and which court or arbitration seat? |
Running it in AI Studio
