# Contract Analysis

> **DISCLAIMER**: This skill provides guidance for contract review. It does not constitute legal advice. Always consult a lawyer for contract decisions.

## When to Use

- Reviewing a contract before signing
- Identifying key obligations and deadlines
- Spotting risky or unusual clauses
- Comparing contract terms to market standards
- Extracting structured data from contracts

## Analysis Framework

For each contract, extract and assess:

### 1. Parties
- Full legal names and registration numbers (SIRET for France)
- Roles (client, provider, licensor, licensee)
- Authorized signatories

### 2. Scope & Deliverables
- What is being provided/purchased
- Acceptance criteria
- Exclusions (what is NOT included)

### 3. Financial Terms
- Total amount and payment schedule
- Payment terms (30 days net, 45 days end of month)
- Late payment penalties (FR: BCE rate + 10 points minimum)
- Price revision clauses

### 4. Duration & Termination
- Start date and duration (fixed or indefinite)
- Renewal (automatic? tacit reconduction?)
- Termination conditions (for cause, for convenience)
- Notice period (FR: usually 3 months for B2B services)
- Exit penalties

### 5. Risk Clauses (Flag These)

| Clause | Risk Level | What to Check |
|--------|-----------|---------------|
| Liability limitation | HIGH | Is it mutual? Is the cap reasonable? |
| Indemnification | HIGH | One-sided? Unlimited? |
| Non-compete | HIGH | Duration? Geographic scope? Too broad? |
| Exclusivity | HIGH | Does it prevent working with competitors? |
| IP assignment | HIGH | Are you transferring all IP or just licensing? |
| Auto-renewal | MEDIUM | Notice period to opt out? |
| Force majeure | MEDIUM | Does it include pandemics? Cyber attacks? |
| Governing law | MEDIUM | Which country's law? Which court? |
| Confidentiality | LOW | Duration after termination? Scope? |
| Data processing | MEDIUM | GDPR compliant? DPA included? |

### 6. Deadlines & Obligations Matrix

Extract into structured format:
```
| Who | Must Do What | By When | Consequence if Late |
|-----|-------------|---------|-------------------|
| Provider | Deliver v1.0 | 2026-06-01 | 5% penalty/week |
| Client | Provide specs | 2026-05-01 | Delivery date extends |
```

## French-Specific Contract Rules

| Rule | Requirement |
|------|------------|
| Language | Contract must be in French if performed in France (Loi Toubon) |
| Late payment | Minimum penalty = BCE rate + 10 points (Code de commerce L441-10) |
| Recovery fee | 40 EUR fixed indemnity for late payment |
| Auto-renewal | Must inform before renewal deadline (Loi Chatel for B2C) |
| Non-compete | Must be limited in time, geography, and activity |
| Imbalance | Significant imbalance in B2B contracts voidable (Art. L442-1) |
