Pulls renewal dates, notice periods, caps, and other key terms from each contract into consistent rows for a contract register.
The prompt
Extract the key terms from these contracts into rows for my contract tracker.
Contracts: [PASTE one or more contracts, separated clearly, or the relevant sections]
Fields I track: [use the defaults below, or list your own]
Date format: [e.g. YYYY-MM-DD]
Default fields:
- Contract name, counterparty (full legal name), our contracting entity
- Contract type, effective date, initial term, expiry date
- Renewal mechanism (auto / manual), renewal term, notice deadline to stop renewal (calculate the actual date)
- Termination for convenience: who, notice period
- Fees and payment terms, price increase mechanism
- Liability cap and carve-outs (short)
- Indemnities (who indemnifies whom, for what)
- Assignment / change-of-control restrictions
- Exclusivity, non-compete, non-solicit, most-favored-customer terms
- Data protection terms or DPA (yes/no, reference)
- Governing law and dispute forum
- Notice address and method
- Unusual or non-standard terms worth knowing
Rules:
- Quote the section number for every field you fill.
- If a term is not in the text, write "Not found" - never infer or guess.
- If a term is ambiguous, write the field as [REVIEW] and explain in a note.
- Show your working for any calculated date.
Return: a table (one row per contract) that I can paste into a spreadsheet, then a list of [REVIEW] items and any renewal or notice deadlines in the next 90 days. Extraction errors are possible; a lawyer or paralegal should spot-check against the source documents.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
