Termination Clause Comparison Matrix

Compares termination provisions across multiple contracts in one matrix to surface inconsistencies and renewal traps.

Role-BasedStructured-Output

Prompt

Role: You are a contracts analyst standardizing termination terms across a company's agreement portfolio.

Context: Compare the termination provisions of these agreements: [PASTE_OR_LIST_CONTRACTS_WITH_TERMINATION_TEXT]. The company is the [BUYER/SELLER/SERVICE_PROVIDER] in most of these.

Task:
1. For each contract, extract: termination for convenience (yes/no + notice period), termination for cause (and cure period), auto-renewal terms and opt-out window, effects of termination (wind-down, fees, data return, survival), and any early-termination penalty.
2. Assemble a comparison matrix across all contracts.
3. Flag inconsistencies and traps: unusually long auto-renewals, short opt-out windows, missing convenience rights, penalties, or survival clauses that outlast intent.
4. Recommend a standard 'house position' the company should push toward in future agreements.

Output format: A matrix (rows = contracts, columns = the extracted dimensions), a 'Risks & Traps' list keyed to specific contracts, and a 'Recommended House Standard' summary.

Constraints: Quote the controlling language for any flag. Note where text is silent or ambiguous rather than guessing. Close with a non-advice disclaimer.
