Contract Review

Review and negotiate contracts effectively.

Key Clauses to Watch

Liability & Indemnification

  • Limitation of Liability: Cap at contract value (not revenue)
  • Indemnification: Who pays if something goes wrong
  • Mutuality: Both sides should have same protections
  • Exclusions: What's NOT limited (IP infringement, death/injury)

Termination

  • For cause: Breach + cure period (30 days standard)
  • For convenience: Without cause, 30-90 days notice
  • Termination fee: Breakage costs if early termination
  • Survival: Which clauses survive termination (confidentiality, IP)

IP Ownership

  • Work for hire: Company owns deliverables
  • Pre-existing IP: Clearly listed and excluded
  • License grant: What rights does each party get?
  • Improvements: Who owns modifications to pre-existing IP?

Contract Types

| Type | Use | Key Terms |

|------|-----|-----------|

| MSA | Ongoing services | Scope, pricing, liability |

| SOW | Specific projects | Deliverables, timeline, acceptance |

| NDA | Confidential information | Definition, term, exclusions |

| SaaS | Software access | SLA, data, uptime |

| Contractor | Services | IP, independence, termination |

Redlining Best Practices

  • Start with friendly language, escalate if needed
  • Explain WHY you want each change
  • Focus on high-risk clauses first
  • Get everything in writing (email is sufficient)
  • Know your walk-away points before negotiating
