Workflow (8 Steps)#

text

Input: Contract file (PDF/DOCX/image) or pasted text
↓
[1] Extract text (OCR supported for scanned documents)
[2] Identify contract type: 劳动合同 / 租房合同 / 购销合同 / 服务协议 / NDA / 借款合同 / 担保合同 / 合伙协议 / 投资协议 / 采购合同 / 工程合同 / 运输合同 / 仓储合同 / 物业合同 / 保险合同 / 赠与合同 / 技术合同
[3] Load relevant rule set(s) for that contract type (apply 20+ PRC legal rule sets)
[4] Scan clauses line-by-line with risk detection patterns:
    → 🔴 High: Unenforceable, illegal, or severely one-sided terms
    → 🟡 Medium: Ambiguous, unbalanced, or risky terms
    → 🟢 Low: Standard terms with minor clarification needs
    → ⚪ Info: Explanatory or non-risky clauses
[5] For each risk: original text excerpt → plain language explanation → standard clause comparison → modification suggestion → negotiation priority
[6] Generate contract summary: parties, amount, term, key dates, special conditions
[7] Optional: side-by-side comparison with standard template for this contract type
[8] Output structured review report (Markdown or PDF)
↓
Output: Annotated contract + risk report (risk inventory + suggestions + negotiation talking points)

Sample Prompts#

Sample 1: Rental contract review#

"I'm about to sign a Beijing apartment lease. Please review and flag any unfair clauses — especially about deposit return, early termination, and repair responsibilities."

Sample 2: Employment contract check#

"My new company gave me an employment contract with a non-compete clause. Check if it's valid under Chinese labor law."

Sample 3: NDA review#

"Review this NDA. I'm the receiving party. Flag any clauses that are too broad on confidentiality or liability."

Sample 4: Service agreement#

"I'm a freelancer signing a service agreement with a tech company. The termination clause says they can cancel any time with 7 days notice. Is that fair?"

Sample 5: Loan agreement#

"Check this personal loan agreement between friends. The interest rate seems high. What's the legal max under PRC law?"

First-Success Path#

# Contract Review Report

**Type**: 房屋租赁合同 (Residential Lease)
**Reviewed**: 2026-06-14

## 🔴 High Risk (3 items)

### 🔴 1. 第12条：损坏赔偿 (Damage Compensation)
**原文**: "房屋内物品损坏，租客需按原价3倍赔偿"
**风险说明**: 3倍赔偿远超《民法典》规定的实际损失赔偿原则，属于惩罚性条款，可能被认定为无效。
**标准条款**: "租客因过失造成物品损坏的，应按实际损失或合理维修费用赔偿"
**修改建议**: 删除"3倍"赔偿，改为"按实际损失或维修费用赔偿"
**谈判优先级**: 🔴 必须修改 — 这是显失公平条款

### 🔴 2. 第8条：单方解约 (Unilateral Termination)
**原文**: "出租方可提前30天通知解约，无需说明理由"
**风险说明**: 根据《民法典》第726条，承租人享有优先承租权。出租人无正当理由随意解约不符合法律精神。
**标准条款**: "出租方需在合理期限内通知，并说明正当理由"
**修改建议**: 修改为"双方协商一致可解约，或出租方在提前60天通知并支付X个月租金作为违约金"
**谈判优先级**: 🔴 必须修改

## 🟡 Medium Risk (2 items)

### 🟡 3. 第5条：水电费分摊 (Utility Allocation)
**原文**: "水电费按人头分摊"
**风险说明**: 表述模糊，按"人头"含义不明确（常住人口？所有登记人？访客？）
**建议**: 改为"水电费按实际使用度数计算，由租客承担"或明确分摊规则
