How to check contract risk in the UK?

Vordex checks contract risk by scanning contracts against common UK clause standards. It flags non-standard liability caps, missing UK GDPR clauses, and unfair indemnity terms so you can renegotiate or escalate before signature.

What the scan looks for

  • Liability caps, exclusions, and consequential loss
  • Termination rights, notice periods, and renewal traps
  • Payment terms, late fees, and price change clauses
  • Indemnities, warranties, remedies, and service levels
  • Data protection terms, processors, and international transfers

An AI contract risk check is a fast first-pass review of a contract. It identifies common commercial and legal risk areas, highlights clauses that need attention, and helps you decide what to renegotiate or escalate before signature.

Vordex is designed for UK contracts and UK workflows.
