Contract Review#

Review Chinese contracts for risky clauses. Supports labor, lease, purchase, NDA, service agreements and more.

Workflow#

1. Extract text — read PDF/DOCX (python-docx / pdftotext / OCR fallback).

2. Identify type — classify contract type via keyword matching + AI:

   • 劳动合同, 租房合同, 购销合同, NDA, 服务协议, 借款合同, 担保合同, 股权协议, 装修合同, 合伙协议, 买卖合同, 承揽合同, 运输合同, 建设工程合同, etc.

3. Load rule sets — load 20+ built-in Chinese contract risk rule sets keyed by contract type.

4. Scan clauses — check each clause against rules:

   • 违约金比例 ≥ 30% → 🔴
   • 竞业限制期 > 2年 → 🔴
   • 保密期无限 → 🟡
   • 管辖权归属不利于乙方 → 🟡
   • 单方解约权 → 🟡
   • 空白授权条款 → 🔴

5. Risk label — assign severity per finding: 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Low.

6. Explain — for each 🔴 finding, output:

   • Original clause excerpt
   • Plain Chinese explanation of the risk
   • Standard/recommended clause for comparison

7. Summarize — contract summary: parties, amounts, term, key dates, special conditions.

8. Report — structured report (JSON or Markdown) with summary, risk table, and recommendations.
