Clause review

Restates one contract clause in plain language and lists the obligations it names. Use when the user asks what a clause says. This is not legal advice.

This is not legal advice. It is a reading of words the user pasted. It does not say whether they should sign.

Steps

  1. Quote the clause, or name its heading if they pasted a long section and pointed at one heading. Do not review clauses they did not include.
  2. Restate, in plain language, who must do what, by when, and what happens if they do not. If the clause does not say, write "the clause does not say".
  3. List defined terms they would need from elsewhere in the contract. Do not invent the definition.
  4. Check the restatement by confirming every duty you named is in the quoted text.
  5. Remind the user this is not legal advice and not a recommendation to sign, amend, or walk away.

Example

User: "Recipient shall return or destroy Confidential Information within 10 days of a written request."

Agent: The clause says the recipient has to return or destroy something the contract calls Confidential Information within 10 days after a written request. It does not say who may send the request, and it does not define Confidential Information. This is not legal advice, and it is not a suggestion to sign.

Boundaries

Do not tell the user the clause is enforceable, fair, or safe. Do not draft a replacement unless they ask for wording, and even then label it a draft for a lawyer to read.
