Pull only the terms worse than your standard, split them into what is acceptable and what must be removed, and let a person make the negotiation call.
It groups incoming contracts by type and pulls out the key clauses, like payment, liability, term, and termination.
Contract review
Contract review, risky clauses, and legal deadlines come together instead of scattered across inboxes, so the risky line gets flagged before you sign.
Small companies often skim and sign NDAs, service, supply, and subcontract agreements with no lawyer. Take the other side's draft as-is and you inherit shifted liability, steep late fees, automatic renewal, and termination penalties, and you only find out after signing. On top of that the contracts scatter across email, chat, and drive, so nobody knows which version was signed or when the renewal and termination notice deadlines fall, which turns into an unwanted auto-renewal or a payment dispute.
A contract like this, reviewed like this.
We gather the work as it actually arrives, and record what each step is judged against.
-
Take in and classify the contract
Pull contracts from email, drive, and chat into one place, and extract the type (NDA, service, supply, subcontract, lease), the counterparty, the amount, and the term.
Judgment The set of clauses to watch differs by type, so confirm the type first and pick the matching review checklist. -
Extract the key clauses
Pull the core clauses (payment and timing, liability and its scope, term and auto-renewal, termination and penalty, confidentiality, venue and governing law) into one table.
Judgment Do not summarize the whole contract, only the axes where disputes actually happen (money, liability, term, termination), so a person can judge fast. -
Flag issues, toxic clauses, and gaps
Flag one-sided liability shifting, steep late fees, uncapped liability, unfair terms, and missing required clauses, with a risk level.
Judgment Send clauses that may break the law or hurt the company up for a person to review, and do not have AI declare a clause favorable or not. -
Register the deadlines
Extract the signature deadline, the term end, the auto-renewal opt-out deadline, and the renewal or termination notice date, register them in a deadline calendar, and set advance reminders.
Judgment Missing a notice deadline locks in an unwanted auto-renewal, so set the reminder off the notice deadline, not the term end. -
Send the issue summary up
Lay out the clause-by-clause issues, candidate edits, and risk levels on one page for the person handling it, and mark items that need a lawyer.
Judgment AI goes only as far as here is what is at stake, not here is how to fix it. Final edits, legal advice, and signing belong to a person, with a lawyer where needed.
When it is unclear, we do not declare, we pass it to a person
We settle the exceptions that actually come up before they do. When a rule doesn't fit, we don't force it through. It goes to a person, with the evidence.
Do not force a category. Mark it type unclear and lawyer review recommended, but still set the signature deadline so it does not get ignored.
Show the sections that failed to extract as the original text and leave those clauses for a person to check, so a missed clause is not passed off as reviewed.
Signing and legal advice are a person's job
Anything touching money, contracts, personal data, or the brand is drafted and no further. It sends only after a person approves.
-
The final signature
Signing binds the company, so a person always does it.
-
The edit request or counteroffer to the other side
The negotiating cards and concessions are a relationship and strategy call, so a person sets them.
-
Confirming the reading of a clause that needs legal advice
Judging a clause's legal effect is a lawyer's job, and AI does not stand in.
-
Sending an auto-renewal opt-out or termination notice
Whether and when to give notice bears on cost and the relationship, so a person decides.
-
Accepting a personal-data or trade-secret clause
It grows the obligations you take on afterward, so a person confirms.
How you know it worked
We measure it by whether we caught it before signing
Worth measuring in-house. The share of contracts with an issue summary raised before signing, aiming to drive to zero the cases where a problem is found only after signing.
Catching one-sided indemnity, auto-renewal, and late-fee clauses before signing is far cheaper than disputing them afterward. Filtering before signature saves the cost of a later fight.
Worth measuring in-house. Aiming to drive to zero the contracts that auto-extend because an auto-renewal or termination notice deadline was missed.
There is no US equivalent of a subcontracting-fairness statute that voids unfair terms by default, so protection comes from the contract itself and general contract law. Read the counterparty's draft against your standard terms and watch for one-sided indemnity, uncapped liability, automatic renewal, and steep late fees. Many states have automatic-renewal laws that require a renewing subscription to be disclosed clearly and be easy to cancel, and the FTC also regulates negative-option terms, so auto-renewal clauses deserve a close look. When a contract collects personal information about the counterparty or its staff, handle it under the applicable privacy law with notice and a lawful basis. Judging the legal effect of a clause and handling a dispute is a lawyer's job, and Velros AI is not a lawyer.
There is less that a person has to hold on to.
Once the scattered checks and repeat replies are drafted and sorted, your staff can spend the day on review and exceptions, and you look only at the decisions that matter.
Get an assessmentChecks pile up on a person.
Contracts are scattered across email, WhatsApp Business, and Google Drive, so you skim in a hurry, sign, and only then spot the clause that works against you.
The work arrives ready to go.
Incoming contracts land in one place with the issues and deadlines laid out clause by clause, and a person focuses only on judgment and signing.
What people ask before they hand this over
The things people actually check first about Contract review.
If AI reviews the contract, do we still need a lawyer?
Yes. Velros AI is not a lawyer. It goes as far as laying out the clause issues, toxic clauses, gaps, and deadlines for a person, and judging legal effect, editing, advising, and signing are done by a person, with a lawyer where needed.
Do we have to upload every contract into a new system?
No. It gathers the contracts already in your email and drive as they are and adds only the review summary and the deadlines.
