Clause.

Contract review built for small agencies.

Triage a client MSA or statement of work in minutes: uncapped liability, one-way indemnities and payment risk, flagged clause by clause.

In the live demo, open the Agency retainer sample: a master services agreement like the ones procurement sends.

Where agency contracts concentrate risk.

Uncapped liability on small deals

Without a cap, a breach claim can dwarf the contract value. A missing limitation-of-liability clause is the biggest single exposure in agency paper.

Indemnities that outgrow the deal

One-way indemnities, often sitting outside the liability cap, can make a single clause worth more than the whole engagement.

Payment that arrives months late

IPSE research found 35% of agencies wait one to three months to be paid, and 18% wait longer. The payment clauses set that clock.

Inconsistent redline positions

When every contract gets a different ad-hoc review, positions drift. A shared playbook keeps push-backs consistent and saves the lawyer for what matters.

Common questions

Does it handle MSAs and SOWs?
Yes. The playbook was built around the paper small agencies actually sign: master service agreements, statements of work, retainers and NDAs. It checks liability caps, indemnities, payment triggers, IP and termination, the clauses where MSAs concentrate their risk.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. During early access there are no seats or licences, so anyone reviewing client paper can run contracts through Clause. Team features are on the roadmap, and founding members get a say in how they work.
Is this a substitute for our lawyer?
No, and it isn't meant to be. Clause is the fast first pass that tells you which of the twenty pages deserve attention, so legal spend goes where it matters. It is a risk-triage tool, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice.
