The Future of Contracting is

Informed Click-Accept

"Informed" meaning both parties have a clear, easy, and accessible way to understand what's in the contracts they're signing. I.e., (a) does it meet my requirements for contracts of this type, and (b) is it market?

"Click-accept" meaning once the parties have informed themselves, they simply click to accept. Negotiations go the way of the 8-track.

To get to there, we need three things:

Transparency. What a contract says must be easily extractable and accessible to both parties.
Market Data. We must have a shared understanding of what's "market."
Reasonableness. Contract drafters must begin to make their contracts reasonable.

TermScout is building the tools necessary to get to informed click-accept.

Hear From Our Founders

“Contracts are the lifeblood of the modern economy — they govern almost everything we buy and sell. But the volume of contracts we sign is so great that no human or business fully understands their contractual rights or obligations. That’s scary, inefficient, and counterproductive. It also results in trillions of dollars of waste every year.

We’re building a future where people understand the contracts they sign; where businesses spend more time creating customer value and less time negotiating contracts. Join us.”
