Workflow

Step 1: Identify Request Type

Task Type:

  • Contract Review: Analysis of risky clauses in existing contracts and recommended amendments
  • Legal Document Drafting: New drafting of terms of service, privacy policies, SLAs, etc.

Document Type:

  • Service Agreement (SI, development outsourcing, consulting)
  • Supply Agreement (products, software licenses)
  • NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
  • Partnership/Alliance Agreement
  • Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, SLA

Confirm whether Korean law or foreign law applies

Step 2: Contract Review (Top 10 Risk Checklist)

① Accuracy of Contracting Party Information

  • Verify company name, business registration number, representative, and address
  • Scope of authority of the contracting party (verify representative director/agent)

② Clarity of Contract Purpose and Scope

  • Are the subject and scope of the services/supply specific?
  • Are the Deliverables specified?

③ Payment Terms, Conditions, and Late Interest

  • Deposit, interim payment, and balance payment schedule
  • Payment conditions (e.g., payment after inspection/approval)
  • Late interest rate (recommended within the statutory maximum interest rate of 20% per annum)

④ Delivery/Performance Conditions and Penalty Clauses

  • Is the delivery/completion deadline clear?
  • Is the penalty (liquidated damages) reasonable in case of delay?
  • Whether a Force Majeure clause is included

⑤ Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights

  • Ownership of intellectual property rights (patents, copyrights, trade secrets) in the deliverables
  • Distinction between pre-existing IP and new IP
  • License scope (exclusive/non-exclusive)

⑥ Confidentiality Clause

  • Definition and scope of confidential information
  • Duration of confidentiality obligation (general: 2-5 years, trade secrets: may be perpetual)
  • Exceptions (publicly known information, independent development, third-party acquisition, legal disclosure)

⑦ Scope and Limitation of Damages

  • Direct damages vs indirect damages (special damages)
  • Setting a cap on damages (e.g., 100% of the total contract amount)
  • Special terms (disclaimer clause)

⑧ Contract termination conditions and effects

  • Advance termination notice period (typically 30 days)
  • Grounds for termination (matters, mutual right to terminate)
  • Effects of termination (cost settlement, return of deliverables)

⑨ Dispute resolution (competent court, governing law, arbitration)

  • Agreed competent court (court of the location of one party recommended)
  • Governing law (recommended to specify application of Korean law)
  • Mediation/arbitration clause (optional)

⑩ Unfair clauses (potential violation of the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions)

  • Clauses unfairly disadvantageous to the customer
  • Clauses restricting the customer's rights
  • Excessive limitations in disclaimer clauses

Step 3: Drafting legal documents (optional)

Terms of Use:

  • Compliance with the Electronic Commerce Act and Consumer Protection Act
  • Required inclusions:
    • How to use the service and conditions of use
    • Usage fees and payment methods
    • Restrictions on use and termination procedures
    • Limitation of liability (disclaimer clause)
    • Dispute resolution (competent court, etc.)

Privacy Policy:

  • Reflecting the Personal Information Protection Act (amended on Sep. 11, 2026)
  • Required inclusions:
    • Items collected (required/optional)
    • Purpose of use
    • Retention period
    • Provision to third parties (whether provided, recipients, purpose)
    • Destruction methods and procedures
    • Rights of data subjects (access, correction, deletion)
    • Whether cookies are used

SLA (Service Level Agreement):

  • Availability target (e.g., 99.9% uptime)
  • Response time by incident severity (P1/P2/P3)
  • Compensation method for violations (service credits, penalty)
  • Monitoring and reporting methods

Step 4: Presenting recommended revisions

Flagging risky clauses and proposing alternative wording:

  • 🔴 Immediate revision recommended: Clauses that are clearly legally disadvantageous
  • 🟡 Negotiation recommended: Clauses that can be agreed upon
  • 🟢 Acceptable: Clauses at a standard level

Priority of negotiation points:

  1. Ownership of intellectual property rights (ownership of IP in deliverables)
  2. Cap on damages (preventing unlimited liability)
  3. Contract termination conditions (preventing disadvantageous termination)
  4. Competent court (preventing a distant court)

Usage examples

Example 1: "Review this IT service contract. I'm Party A. [contract contents]" → Top 10 risk check → flag disadvantageous clauses → recommended revisions → negotiation points

Example 2: "Create terms of use and a privacy policy for a SaaS service" → Confirm service scope → draft terms of use → draft privacy policy → review

Example 3: "Draft an API partnership agreement" → Confirm partnership terms → draft agreement → explain key clauses

Deliverables

  • Contract review report (top 10 risk analysis)
  • Recommended revisions by clause
  • Negotiation point priority list
  • Draft terms of service, privacy policy, and SLA
  • Contract drafting guide

Precautions

Precautions when reviewing contracts:

  • Must be reviewed before signing (post-signing amendments are difficult)
  • Professional legal terms explained in easy Korean
  • For complex contracts (joint ventures, M&A, etc.), consultation with a law firm is recommended

Precautions when drafting legal documents:

  • Compliance with relevant laws such as the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Personal Information Protection Act
  • Prevention of clauses violating the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions (Terms and Conditions Act)
