Supplier Agreement Analysis
From €29 per analysis
Supplier agreements often contain one-sided terms that heavily favour the supplier - unlimited liability for you, capped liability for them, auto-renewal traps, and vague SLAs. Our Every clause is read and tells you exactly where the risks are and what to push back on before signing.
What We Check
Liability caps and exclusions - whether the supplier has capped their liability while leaving yours uncapped, and whether key exclusions (like data breach or IP infringement) are carved out
Indemnification clauses - who indemnifies whom, for what, and whether the indemnity is proportionate. We flag one-sided indemnities that could expose your business
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) - whether performance commitments are measurable, what happens when SLAs are missed, and whether service credits are meaningful
Auto-renewal and termination - hidden auto-renewal provisions, early termination penalties, notice periods, and whether you can exit without excessive cost
Payment terms - when payment is due, late payment penalties, price escalation clauses, and whether payment terms are fair relative to Irish commercial norms
Intellectual property - who owns what is created during the contract, licence scope, and whether the supplier retains rights to your data or customisations
Data protection - whether the agreement includes a GDPR-compliant data processing addendum, sub-processor controls, and breach notification obligations
Force majeure and dispute resolution - what happens if the supplier cannot perform, and whether disputes go to mediation, arbitration, or court
Frequently Asked Questions
Many supplier agreements automatically renew for another year (or longer) unless you give written notice 30-90 days before the renewal date. If you miss the notice window, you are locked in. Our analysis flags every auto-renewal clause and its notice deadline so you never get caught.
Yes. If the agreement caps the supplier's liability (for example, to the fees paid in the last 12 months) but leaves your liability uncapped, you are taking on disproportionate risk. Our analysis flags asymmetric liability provisions and suggests balanced alternatives.
Under GDPR, if a supplier processes personal data on your behalf (for example, a SaaS provider storing customer records), the agreement must include a data processing addendum or agreement that meets the requirements of Article 28 of GDPR. This covers data security, sub-processors, breach notification, and data deletion. We check whether the DPA exists and whether it is adequate.
A meaningful SLA has a measurable commitment (for example, 99.9% uptime), a clear measurement method, a defined consequence for failure (such as service credits), and an exit right if SLAs are consistently missed. Vague commitments like "commercially reasonable efforts" provide little protection. Our analysis assesses each SLA against these criteria.
