Example insight
“This contract allows your client to hire your developers directly with no fee. Most agencies include a non-solicitation clause with a buy-out fee when a client hires their talent.”
Not a replacement for lawyers
Use the report to decide when you truly need US counsel - and to brief them with a focused list of issues instead of asking them to start from scratch.
What this actually protects you from
US contracts don't just define scope – they can quietly give clients the power to poach your team, delay payment for months, or push unlimited liability onto your small agency.
Clients poaching your best developers
Some US clients love your senior dev, then try to hire them directly and cut you out. Without a strong non‑solicitation clause and fee, you lose your margin and your talent.
How we help
The AI checks for missing or weak non‑solicitation language and suggests a buy‑out fee you can plug into your contract.
Big projects, slow US payments
You pay salaries every month, but your US client's contract says Net‑45 or Net‑60 - and sometimes ties payment to "launch" instead of delivery.
How we help
The AI flags risky payment terms and proposes agency‑friendly language: shorter payment windows, late‑fee options, and "pay on delivery," not "pay on launch."
"Unlimited liability" you can't afford
Many US templates quietly remove any cap on your liability, so one dispute over bugs or downtime can cost more than the entire contract - or your annual revenue.
How we help
The AI flags missing or unfair limitation‑of‑liability caps and suggests agency‑friendly limits tied to contract value, plus clearer wording you can push into the contract.
Handing over code before you get paid
"Work for hire" language can transfer ownership the moment code is written, leaving you without leverage if invoices go unpaid.
How we help
The AI spots immediate IP transfer and proposes "IP transfers only after full payment" wording you can send to the client or your lawyer.
From 40 pages of legalese to a one‑page risk report
Instead of reading every line, you get a clear list of agency‑killer issues and suggested fixes in minutes.

SOW Reality Check
Cost+, T&M, Fixed Price – we've got you
Different pricing models carry different risks. Arendly flags scope creep traps, milestone ambiguities, and payment timing issues based on your contract type.
Built by people who've been burned by bad SOWs before.
Not BigLaw software. Agency armor.
Law firms and enterprise CLM tools weren't built for a custom software development provider in Warsaw, Bogotá, or Bangalore signing six‑ or seven-figure US contracts.

Arendly
What it does
Built for offshore software agencies with US clients.
Focus areas
Focuses on poaching, payment, liability, jurisdiction, and IP pressure points that can kill your business.
Use Arendly to prepare for negotiations and/or focus your lawyer's time on the hardest issues, not on basic triage.
Why agencies trust Arendly with their US contracts
Offshore software shops use Arendly to catch the US‑specific risks that are easy to miss but expensive to fix later.
“Arendly flagged that our contract had no real non‑solicitation clause. If we'd signed it, our US client could have hired our lead developer directly with zero fee. That alone was worth the subscription.”
Maria S.
CEO, Software Agency
Berlin, Germany
“We used it on a 60‑page MSA and it immediately highlighted an unlimited liability clause tied to New York courts. It gave us clearer, capped language we could push back with, which our lawyer then fine‑tuned.”
Raj P.
Operations Director
Bangalore, India
“As a non‑native English speaker, I finally understood what each clause meant for my agency. The plain‑English explanations made it much easier to negotiate without feeling lost in legal jargon.”

Arendly has already reviewed hundreds of US contracts for offshore agencies, helping them spot poaching, payment, and liability risks before they sign.
