Read for risk, not just price
A commercial contract can look acceptable on price but still create serious risk through vague scope, weak payment terms, broad liability, poor termination rights, or unclear dispute provisions.
Before signing, the business team should understand what must be delivered, when payment is due, what happens if things go wrong, and how the relationship can end.
Clauses to check
- Scope of work, deliverables, and acceptance process
- Payment timing, taxes, expenses, and penalties
- Confidentiality and data handling
- Liability caps, indemnities, and warranties
- Termination rights and consequences
- Governing law and dispute resolution
- Authority of the person signing
Do not ignore practical details
A contract should match how the business relationship will actually operate. If the document says one thing but the commercial process does another, disputes become harder to resolve.
