1. Vendor Contracts
CompareX enforces procurement standards by flagging clause edits to pricing, delivery SLAs, and liability terms the moment they deviate from your baseline.
| Clause Group | Common Deviations | CompareX Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing & Discounts | List prices padded, volume breaks removed | Highlights financial exposure |
| Delivery SLAs | Extended timelines or vague penalties | Flags service-level risk |
| Liability Caps | Tied to invoice value, not contract | Red-zone deviation flagged |
2. SaaS Agreements
Procurement handles tech contracts too. CompareX spots auto-renew traps, missing data protection clauses, and non-standard SLAs.
- Auto-renew slipped in → critical deviation.
- Weakened uptime SLA → commercial risk.
- Unvetted subprocessor → GDPR risk.
3. IT Procurement Deals
Termination asymmetry? Warranty exclusions? Hidden fees? CompareX catches them all in a click.
4. Master Service Agreements (MSAs)
MSAs are long and complex. CompareX finds the deviations that matter most: IP rights, governing law, audit clauses, and subcontractor provisions.
5. Renewals and Extensions
CompareX helps procurement leaders control for scope creep, hidden auto-renewals, and other last-minute changes in renewal docs.
6. Custom Supplier Docs & One-Offs
Got a PDF? A supplier Word file? If it has clauses, CompareX can analyze it.
