Review all four PDF contracts in this folder. For each one, give me a plain-English summary of what the agreement is about, who the parties are, and the key dates (effective date, term, renewal, termination). Then flag every clause that could be risky for the signing party using RED for dangerous, YELLOW for worth negotiating, and GREEN for standard. Focus especially on indemnification, liability caps, auto-renewal, termination rights, IP ownership, and confidentiality. Present your findings as a separate report for each document.____
Claude will give you a full contract review report:
✦ Clause-by-clause, with every risk flagged
✦ RED (dangerous)
✦ YELLOW (worth negotiating)
✦ GREEN (standard)
A real lawyer charges $500/hour for this.
