How to read Term Sheets

TermScout's Term Sheets simplify contract review by organizing data, offering a "Favorability Rating," and providing detailed clause examination.

TermScout’s Term Sheets are designed to handle various contract types, such as Information Technology contracts and service agreements. One of its distinctive features is the "Favorability Rating," which serves as an indicator of how advantageous or disadvantageous a contract is for the involved parties.

Term Sheet Organization

The data in the Term Sheets is logically arranged by topics, which are designed according to the estimated significance of each topic in the context of the specific contract type. For instance, when reviewing a Software as a Service (SaaS) agreement offered by a vendor, users can swiftly comprehend the proposed terms.

Delving into Details

Apart from providing an overview, TermScout's Term Sheets offer the ability to delve into the specifics of each clause. By navigating to the "Details" tab, users can gain additional information about a particular clause, such as understanding the limitations on a vendor's license or the exceptions to these caps.

Source Language and Market Data

TermScout ensures transparency by allowing users to view the original source language of each clause, enabling them to verify TermScout's interpretations. Additionally, TermScout provides context through market data, helping users understand how prevalent or unique a clause is compared to similar contracts. This information can be accessed effortlessly with a simple click.

It aids in estimating the level of effort required to scrutinize and negotiate a contract. By streamlining the process of understanding and comparing contracts, Term Sheets are a valuable tool for both contract professionals and those less experienced in contract review and negotiation.
