Every flag sits on the exact clause it refers to, with a plain-English reason and a suggested revision.
AI checks whether confidentiality obligations are balanced or fall only on you — a common trap in vendor and investor NDAs.
Flags unreasonably long or perpetual confidentiality windows and tells you the market-standard duration for your jurisdiction.
Surfaces over-broad definitions that sweep in everything you disclose, and suggests carve-outs for publicly known material.
Detects restrictive covenants buried in NDAs that can limit who you hire or work with after signing.
Flags onerous post-termination return-or-destroy obligations and highlights whether they survive indefinitely.
Flags processing of personal data in the NDA and whether GDPR / PIPL obligations are addressed.
AI contract review covers major common-law and civil-law patterns across four regions.
State & federal contract patterns, UCC basics
UK contract law & consumer protections
GDPR & EU directive obligations
PIPL & PRC contract provisions
Synthetic examples showing what a finding looks like on this contract type — the flagged clause, why it is flagged, and a suggested revision. Examples are constructed for illustration, not taken from real engagements.
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by either party in any form, whether or not marked confidential.
Issue: Unbounded definition with no exclusions. Everything the recipient ever touches becomes confidential, which is usually unworkable and often unenforceable.
Suggested edit: Add standard exclusions: information that is or becomes public, was known before disclosure, is independently developed, or is rightfully received from a third party.
The confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall survive in perpetuity.
Issue: Perpetual survival is frequently rejected or narrowed by courts; a fixed term is easier to enforce and to audit.
Suggested edit: Set a defined term (commonly 3–5 years) with a carve-out keeping trade secrets protected for as long as they remain trade secrets.
As discloser, you want a broad definition of confidential information, a long survival period and strong remedies. As recipient, you want standard exclusions (public domain, independent development, prior possession), a bounded survival period and a clear return/destruction duty with certification.
Compare other contract typesThe AI adapts its risk checklist to the kind of contract you upload.
Yes. Upload either form and AI adapts its checklist — for a one-way NDA it specifically checks whether the burden falls only on you and suggests mutual-language alternatives.
Many NDAs run 2–5 years, though trade-secret clauses can be longer. AI flags anything materially above market norm for your contract type and jurisdiction and explains the trade-off.
Yes. Restrictive covenants are often tucked into confidentiality sections; AI surfaces them so you can negotiate or remove them before signing.
