What's the biggest contract red flag?

Undefined linen loss policy. If it's not in writing, you'll absorb replacement costs when things go missing.

Should I accept late delivery penalties?

Only if you're charging a premium for guaranteed windows. Otherwise, negotiate them out or add matching flexibility.

How do I handle scope creep requests?

Price them as add-ons. Sorting, stain treatment, and special handling should be line items—not freebies.

It supports $/lb, per item, and flat monthly pricing models.

Can this tool help with existing contracts?

Yes, you can input existing contract terms to identify potential risks.

Is the tool suitable for small businesses?

Does the tool store my contract data?

How accurate is the risk assessment?
