Upload a contract. Get the facts and the deadlines back.
Contract Lens is made for small law firms in Germany. It reads a PDF or Word file and fills in the record. You check every field before you save.
From file to record in three steps.
Contract Lens does the reading. You do the checking.
Upload the file
PDF or Word (.docx), up to 10 MB. Contract Lens pulls out the text and recognizes the kind of contract. It reads three kinds: NDAs, service agreements and licence agreements.
Check the record
You confirm the kind of contract, then check the filled-in fields next to the original page. Nothing goes into the firm's records until you save.
Track the dates
The list of expiring contracts shows what ends within 90 days, with the notice period next to each. You set an alert on any date that matters, and a manager answers it.
The checklist depends on the kind of contract.
A confidentiality agreement raises different questions than a software licence, so each type has its own list of fields. If the contract says nothing on a point, the software is told to leave that field empty rather than guess.
Confidentiality agreement (NDA)
- Parties
- Effective date and expiry
- How long confidentiality lasts
- Mutual or one-sided
- Place of jurisdiction
- Flags for non-compete, non-solicitation and liquidated damages clauses
Service agreement
- Client and provider
- Start and end date, or the initial term
- Automatic renewal
- Notice period for termination without cause
- Payment terms: method, timing, currency
- Who owns the work product
- Liability cap
- Who indemnifies whom
Licence agreement
- Licensor and licensee
- The licensed software
- Licence type: perpetual, subscription, evaluation, open source
- Usage limits
- Exclusive or non-exclusive
- Renewal date
- Audit rights and their notice period
- Territory
All three checklists also include a title and a summary in two sentences. Other contracts, such as leases or employment contracts, are not read automatically.
An alert stays open until a manager closes it.
When a date matters, you set an alert on it. A manager then answers with one of three choices: continue the contract, terminate it, or ask a question. Each step goes on record with a name and a date. Contracts that have expired or end within 90 days appear in one list, with the time left and the notice period.
One record per contract, shared by the whole firm.
Roles decide who reads, who edits and who answers, and every alert keeps a record of each step.
Roles
Invite colleagues by email and give each one a role. A viewer reads. A member adds contracts and edits their own. A manager edits everyone's and answers alerts. An admin also invites and removes members.
Tasks
A task sits on the contract it belongs to, with a due date if you set one. Everyone who opens the contract sees its tasks.
What happens to the file.
The file is stored encrypted, and only your firm can open it.
- Storage
- Files, summaries and conditions are encrypted before they are written to the database. The connection between your browser and Contract Lens is encrypted as well.
- The AI
- Contract Lens sends the text of the contract to AI models from outside providers to fill in the record. The file is stored only when you save.
- Access
- Only members of your firm can open a record, and only within their role. Firms are kept apart from each other.
- Deletion
- A manager can delete a contract, and its file goes with it. When you ask, we delete your data.
