Vendor Contract Checklist

Q: How do I know the Vendor Contract Checklist output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Auto-renewal, notice period, and price-escalation terms are surfaced explicitly (the usual traps); SLA is assessed with its remedy, not just the uptime number; Data handling on exit (deletion, portability) and liability cap vs. spend are checked; Missing standard protections are flagged as gaps, not assumed present.

Review a vendor/SaaS contract against a practical checklist before you sign. Use when asked to review a vendor contract, check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement, flag risky terms, or prepare negotiation points before signing. Produces a structured review — key terms extracted, a risk-flagged checklist (commercial, legal, security, exit), questions to ask, and prioritised negotiation points. Not legal advice.

What to give it

▸The contract — the agreement text (MSA, order form, SaaS terms, DPA), or its key terms.

▸The deal — what you're buying, the spend, and the term length.

▸What matters to you — must-haves (uptime, data residency, exit), and any internal/legal/security requirements.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Auto-renewal, notice period, and price-escalation terms are surfaced explicitly (the usual traps)

✓SLA is assessed with its remedy, not just the uptime number

✓Data handling on exit (deletion, portability) and liability cap vs. spend are checked

✓Missing standard protections are flagged as gaps, not assumed present

✓Negotiation points are prioritised with a concrete suggested ask each

✓It flags legal questions for counsel rather than ruling on them

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not skim only the order form — the MSA/terms is where the risk lives

Do not ignore auto-renewal and notice windows — they quietly lock you in

Do not accept an SLA without checking the remedy (credits ≠ reliability)

Do not present this as legal advice — flag material/legal items for counsel

Do not produce a flat list — prioritise what's actually worth negotiating
