What you get
Key terms pulled out It lists the parties, term, dates, renewal terms, notice period, payment terms, price change rules and termination clauses.
The notice deadline It works out the last day to give notice from the dates and the notice period, and shows the arithmetic.
One-sided clauses flagged It flags anything unusual or one-sided and quotes the clause for every obligation.
Reminders you confirm It saves a note and proposes calendar reminders 60 and 30 days before the deadline for you to confirm.
Why use this?
Minda quotes the clause behind every obligation and says so when a date or period is not in the text. It also drafts the questions to ask before the contract renews. This is not legal advice, and it never sends a notice or a cancellation.
