Solution

Catch the UAE-law red flags in a contract before you sign it.

The dangerous clauses aren't the obvious ones — they're the quiet defaults: a notice window that already closed, an uncapped indemnity, a foreign forum on a domestic deal. StartedUp runs a catalogue of UAE-tuned rules over every contract and explains each risk in plain language, with the clause to prove it.

The red flags that cost the most

Auto-renewal notice windows that have already closed — you're locked in and don't know it yet.

Payment terms beyond your policy, uncapped liability, and indemnities weighted against you.

Foreign governing law on a UAE-domestic contract, missing PDPL data-protection clauses, and Arabic/English versions with no stated precedence.

How StartedUp does it

Built to solve exactly this.

Deterministic, UAE-tuned rules

A versioned catalogue of red-flag rules runs on the extracted contract data — the same risks caught the same way, every time.

Plain-language explanations

Each flag comes with a severity and a clear explanation of why it matters, plus the exact clause it's based on.

Review before alerts

Low-confidence extractions are held for human review so a bad read never fires a false alarm.
