LEGAL & CONTRACT
Legal & Contract
How does that contract read under the other country's law? Checked at once, with the legal basis attached.
What is genuinely dangerous about a foreign contract is not that you cannot read it — it is that you cannot tell a clause which simply will not stand in that country. Upload the contract to Factdock, choose the counterparty's country, and the passages that carry risk under that country's legal system are pulled out for you, sorted by the issue they raise — jurisdiction, arbitration, limitation of liability and the rest — each with its legal basis (government legislation portals and the like) attached. The drafting side follows the same rule: no clause without a basis. From the requirements you enter, a bilingual draft reflecting local law is produced straight away. The "cannot read it, cannot judge it" problem of cross-border contracts goes away, and the groundwork you do before consulting a professional becomes quick and safe.

The contract
Clauses flagged
Business impact: High- ArbitrationHigh
Mọi tranh chấp phát sinh từ Hợp đồng này sẽ được giải quyết chung thẩm bằng trọng tài tại Singapore.
Reference translation
Any dispute arising out of this Contract shall be finally settled by arbitration in Singapore.
The seat of arbitration sits outside the country. Against that country's rules on arbitration and enforcement, enforcing an award may be constrained. Please confirm with a professional.
- Limitation of liabilityHigh
Bên cho thuê không chịu bất kỳ trách nhiệm nào đối với mọi thiệt hại phát sinh trong thời hạn thuê.
Reference translation
The lessor shall bear no liability whatsoever for any damage arising during the term of the lease.
The clause excludes liability entirely. Under that country's mandatory rules, it may be wholly or partly without effect.
Public legal portals consulted
A worked example using invented contract clauses. It bears no relation to any real contract or party. The commentary keeps to reference-style wording — "may" — and names no statute or article. No links are shown. Not the result of a live analysis, and not legal advice.
What this tool does
Check against the other country's law, just by uploading
PDF, Word, Excel and plain text are accepted, and you can type or dictate the text directly. Even when the contract is in a foreign language, a full reference translation can be produced alongside the risk analysis, so you take in the substance in your own language before you start weighing it.
Flagged passages, sorted by issue and business impact
Every clause pulled out is classified — jurisdiction, arbitration, limitation of liability, mandatory rules and so on — and the overall business impact is graded high, medium or low. The original text is highlighted, and one click jumps to the corresponding comment, so the argument stays easy to follow even in a long contract.
A public primary source behind every comment
Each comment carries an official primary source: a government legislation portal, an international legal body and the like. Anything of uncertain origin is filtered out on our side, so what you weigh is always grounded in a trustworthy basis. Where no basis could be identified, that is stated plainly — vague material is never mixed in.
A bilingual draft from nothing but your requirements
Write the requirement — "a two-year office lease in country X, a two-month deposit, an early-termination clause" — and AI builds the skeleton of the contract. You edit it directly and settle it, then a version in your own language and one in the local language are produced together. Every clause carries the number of the public source it drew on, so the backing can be traced.
Where it's used
“When a contract has arrived from an overseas counterparty and you want it checked properly against that country's law before signing”
“When the contract is in a language you cannot read and you want the substance accurately in your own words so you can narrow the issues efficiently”
“When you want to know in advance whether the governing law, the forum and the seat of arbitration have been set on terms that disadvantage you”
“When you want an NDA or a services agreement prepared as your own opening draft, shaped to the counterparty country's legal system”
Before you use this
A support tool that works alongside a professional
This engine does not give legal advice. It exists to make consulting a professional, and the checking you do beforehand, more efficient. Treat the commentary and the generated draft as reference material, and reach the final decision — and sign — only after a qualified lawyer has reviewed it.
Matched strictly against public sources
The only material offered as a basis is public information from national government legislation portals and international legal bodies. Commentary of uncertain origin is never mixed in.
Confidentiality protected by never storing on our servers
The contract you upload, the text you enter and the results produced are never permanently stored on Factdock's servers. Data held temporarily for analysis is destroyed the moment processing ends, so even a highly confidential document can be entrusted to it.
