How it works
The step before legal review. Arrive prepared, not blind.
01
Upload your contract
PDF or Word. Vendor agreements, client contracts, NDAs, service agreements and any contract with standard clauses.
02
Get a risk breakdown
Eight key clauses analysed. Plain English flags on what's unusual, missing, or one-sided, with context on why it matters.
03
Get your negotiation ladder
For every flagged clause, you get a clear position to take and a script to use. Go into the conversation prepared.
Eight clauses. Most contracts have at least one issue.
The clauses most likely to create risk for founders and freelancers, buried in standard templates and easy to miss.
Liability Cap
Are you exposed to unlimited liability, or is your exposure actually capped?
Indemnities
Are you agreeing to cover their legal costs as well as your own?
IP Ownership
Who owns what you create, build, or bring to this contract?
Data Protection
What are you responsible for if data is mishandled or breached?
Termination Rights
Can they walk away, keep your work, and owe you nothing?
Auto-Renewal
Is the contract renewing automatically without your active consent?
Fee Increases
Can they raise their fees mid-contract without your approval?
Governing Law
Which country's courts decide if something goes wrong?
Not just what's wrong. What to do about it.
Most tools flag the problem and stop there. Pactora gives you a negotiation ladder for every flagged clause: your ideal position, an acceptable fallback, and the exact script to open the conversation.
Whether you're pushing back by email or sitting across a table, you'll know exactly what to say.
