Contract Risk Rater
This free tool rates the risk profile of a commercial contract by checking for common high-risk clauses — unlimited indemnities, missing liability caps, one-sided termination rights, automatic renewals, non-compete overreach, and unusual obligations. Upload or paste your contract and receive a plain-language risk summary with clause-by-clause flags.
What this tool does
Contract review is time-intensive, and the highest-risk clauses are often buried deep in boilerplate. This tool scans for the patterns that experienced commercial lawyers check first — indemnity scope, liability allocation, termination triggers, and unusual carve-outs — so you can prioritise your detailed review where it matters most.
How to use it
- Paste or upload the full text of the contract you want to assess
- Select the contract type (services agreement, SaaS, supply, lease, NDA, etc.)
- Indicate which party you represent (supplier, customer, landlord, tenant, etc.)
- Review the risk rating and the clause-by-clause breakdown
- Use the flagged clauses as a starting point for your negotiation or detailed review
What you'll learn
- Which clauses in the contract carry the highest commercial risk for your client
- Whether indemnity and liability provisions are balanced or one-sided
- Common boilerplate traps that shift risk without drawing attention
- How the contract compares to market-standard positions for its type

What types of contracts does this work with?
It works best with commercial agreements — services agreements, SaaS terms, supply contracts, leases, NDAs, and partnership agreements. It is not designed for consumer terms, employment contracts, or construction contracts, which have specialist risk patterns.
Is my contract data stored?
No. The contract text is processed in your browser session and is not stored, logged, or transmitted to any server after the session ends.
How does the risk rating work?
The tool checks for a library of high-risk clause patterns — unlimited indemnities, missing caps, asymmetric termination rights, broad IP assignments, and others. Each flagged clause is scored by severity and the overall rating reflects the count and severity of flags.
Can it replace a lawyer reviewing the contract?
No. The tool identifies common risk patterns but cannot understand commercial context, negotiation history, or industry-specific norms. It is a triage tool to help you focus your detailed review, not a substitute for legal analysis.
Does it check for Australian Consumer Law compliance?
It flags clauses that may be affected by the unfair contract terms regime under the ACL, but it does not perform a full compliance assessment. That requires analysis of the specific facts and parties.
Can I use this for contracts governed by non-Australian law?
The risk patterns are broadly applicable to common-law commercial contracts. However, jurisdiction-specific statutory protections (such as the ACL, or UK CRA) are flagged based on Australian law only.
