Contract Obligation Extraction Example

Contracts contain performance obligations, notice requirements, and time-bound clauses distributed across many sections. This example shows how DueCounsel identifies every actionable obligation from a commercial agreement.

Sample document excerptCommercial Agreement
Section 6.2 – Notice of Termination: Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing 60 days written notice. Section 8.1 – Annual Review: The parties shall meet no later than December 1 of each year to review performance metrics. Section 9.4 – Non-Compete: Upon termination, the Consultant shall not engage in competing business for 12 months. Section 11.1 – Renewal: This Agreement shall renew automatically unless notice is provided 30 days before the anniversary date.

Why this matters

Contract obligations are spread across sections and often activate on trigger events. Missing a renewal notice window or non-compete start date can create costly disputes.

Lawyer review required

Rolling obligations (e.g. notice periods) cannot be given a fixed calendar date. DueCounsel flags these for manual scheduling. Review all computed dates against actual contract execution date.

  • Review source text before confirming each extraction
  • Verify computed dates against the actual document
  • Confirm or dismiss each item before exporting to calendar
