Risk Findings (Clause-Level)#
Each finding includes:
- Clause index — position in the contract
- Severity — Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info
- Category — e.g., one-sided liability, missing definition, jurisdiction risk, IP assignment, termination trap
- Excerpt — direct quote from the contract
- Citation — reference to applicable legal principle or jurisdictional norm
Severity Classification#
| Severity | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Critical | Substantial business risk; consult an attorney before signing |
| High | Significant one-sided language or unusual terms |
| Medium | Standard but noteworthy provisions worth confirming |
| Low | Common boilerplate that may be improvable |
| Info | Educational notes about the clause type |

Limitations & Disclaimers#
The Contract Review service is designed to inform, not to advise:
- It does NOT replace a licensed attorney.
- It does NOT establish an attorney-client relationship.
- It does NOT guarantee legal accuracy.
- For legally binding decisions, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
unjaena does not connect you with attorneys, refer you to law firms, or facilitate paid legal review. The service exists to help you understand a contract before you make a decision — the decision itself remains yours, ideally taken with qualified counsel.
