# How can a company use AI to review vendor and customer contracts safely?

Use AI to extract key terms, compare them with your standard positions and flag deviations, so a reviewer starts from a summary instead of a blank page. AI should not approve contracts or give legal advice: a person checks every flag, and anything material goes to the contract owner or legal counsel. Keep contracts in approved tools with clear data and retention terms.

## What this means in practice

- Write down your standard positions on the terms that matter most.
- Extract key terms such as renewal, notice, liability and data use.
- Flag deviations from your standards with the clause quoted.
- Have a person review every flag; escalate material issues to legal counsel.
- Use tools whose data and retention terms you have approved.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Vendor contract and renewal review](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/vendor-contract-review/): Extract key terms and renewal dates from vendor contracts, flag unusual clauses for review, and make sure no renewal passes unnoticed.
