Free Contract Risk Score Calculator
Answer 10 quick yes/no questions about your agreement. Our heuristic model will instantly score your contract's vulnerability from 0 to 100, calculate potential dollar exposure, and highlight immediate red flags.
1. Does the agreement contain an Indemnification or 'Hold Harmless' clause?
Indemnity clauses shift third-party lawsuit damages and legal defense costs onto you.
2. Is there NO explicit cap on your total financial liability (e.g., liability is unlimited)?
Without a 1x fee cap, you can be sued for client operational losses vastly exceeding your fee.
3. Does the contract FAIL to waive indirect, incidental, and consequential damages?
Consequential damages allow the client to claim lost business profits and downstream churn.
4. Does the IP assignment clause assign code/work 'upon creation' instead of 'upon full payment'?
If you assign IP upon creation, the client owns your work even if they refuse to pay your invoice.
5. Does the agreement lack an explicit carve-out for your pre-existing tools and background libraries?
Your developer frameworks and boilerplates become client property without a Background IP carve-out.
6. Does the contract include a Non-Compete restricting you from serving other clients in this industry?
Non-competes restrict your freedom to take other contracts in your specialized domain.
7. Does the contract grant perpetual AI, synthetic voice, or machine learning training rights?
Permits the client to create synthetic digital clones of your likeness or voice without future payment.
8. Can the client terminate for convenience immediately with zero notice or kill fee?
Leaves you holding unpaid work-in-progress if the client cancels unexpectedly.
9. Is the legal jurisdiction located in a foreign country or distant state?
Distant courts make collecting unpaid invoices financially impractical.
10. Does the client have unilateral right to withhold or offset payments for subjective dissatisfaction?
Allows the client to arbitrarily deduct from your invoices without independent verification.
