What kinds of contracts can PactSift AI review?

Any commercial agreement in PDF, Word, or plain text — vendor MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, leases, licensing deals, and service agreements. Our AI is tuned specifically for the risks solo operators and small agencies face when signing with larger, better-resourced counterparties.

Is my contract data kept private?

Yes. You can enable our Client-Side Privacy Shield to redact sensitive data before it ever leaves your browser. You can also permanently purge any document and its analysis at any time — we’ll issue you a signed Certificate of Deletion confirming it’s gone from our systems.

Why should I buy today instead of bookmarking this for later?

Two real reasons, not a fake countdown. First, the first 50 Pilot customers lock in $19 per analysis forever — once the cap hits, the Pilot price goes up. Second, for those first 50 scans I personally review the AI output and answer your follow-up questions, which is not something I can scale once volume grows. The biggest reason, though, is the contract in your inbox right now: the risk is already in the document, and a bookmark does not flag it.

How is this different from just asking a general AI chatbot?

Three concrete differences. First, structure: PactSift AI runs the same rigorous check every time — risk level, plain-English explanation, and a negotiation ask — instead of a chat reply that depends on how you worded the prompt. Second, citations: every risk flag includes the exact verbatim quote, page, and section from your contract, so you can verify it in seconds; general chatbots can paraphrase or invent risks that don’t exist. Third, privacy: the Client-Side Privacy Shield redacts sensitive terms in your browser before anything is uploaded, which a chat window can’t do.

What happens after my $19 pilot?

You get one full contract risk analysis, no subscription required. If you find it valuable, you can upgrade anytime to the $99/month Subscriber plan for 20 analyses per month, priority processing, and downloadable PDF reports.

Do I need a lawyer to use this?

No — PactSift AI is designed as a fast first-pass review so you know exactly which clauses are worth a lawyer’s time (and which aren’t), saving you money on legal fees for straightforward agreements.

The Uncapped Indemnity Clause That Can Sink a Small Agency

What this clause actually says

Indemnification means one party agrees to cover the other party's losses and legal costs. The danger is when it is "uncapped" (no dollar limit) and "one-sided" (only you indemnify them, never the reverse).

Why it matters to you

A single uncapped indemnity clause can expose a small agency to unlimited liability — their legal fees become your bill, even for a dispute you did not cause. It is the clause that most often kills a small shop.

How to fix it before you sign

Ask for mutual indemnification and cap your liability at the contract value (or 12 months of fees). Reject language that makes you pay for the client's own negligence.

Quick answers

What is a one-sided indemnification clause?

A clause that requires you to cover the client's legal costs and losses, but gives you no reciprocal protection. It is a one-way risk transfer that leaves a solo operator carrying all the downside.

Can I negotiate an indemnity clause?

Yes, this is one of the most commonly negotiated clauses. A mutual clause with a liability cap at the contract value is a standard, reasonable ask. Have counsel confirm it is drafted correctly.
