Pull the dates and money out of a vendor contract

Extracts renewal dates, notice periods, price escalators and exit terms, quoting the clause for each so you can check it.

Works with Claude, ChatGPTUpdated 2026-09-27

When to use it

Use this when you inherit a folder of vendor contracts and need to know what auto-renews and when. Every answer is quoted from the clause it came from, so the output is checkable rather than something you have to trust.

Opening this in Claude or ChatGPT sends the prompt with its {{PLACEHOLDERS}} still in it. Replace them with your own details before you send, or copy the prompt and fill them in first.

Here is a vendor contract:

<contract>
{{CONTRACT}}
</contract>

Extract, and for each one quote the clause number and the sentence it comes from:

1. Parties and the contract start date.
2. Initial term and what happens at the end of it. State plainly whether it auto-renews.
3. Notice period to terminate, and the date by which notice must be given for the next renewal. Show the arithmetic.
4. Price, what it covers, and any escalator: the percentage, the trigger and the cap if there is one.
5. What triggers extra charges outside the base price.
6. Termination rights on each side, and any early exit fee.
7. Anything that survives termination.

If the contract does not address one of these, write "not addressed in this document" for that item. Do not fill it in from what is usual. If a clause is ambiguous, quote it and say what the two readings are.

Finish with the three dates worth putting in a calendar today.
