Unilateral Agreement Modification Right

…the sole remedy is non-renewal under Section 6.3. This means [Vendor] can unilaterally alter payment terms, data rights, liability caps, or any other provision mid-relationship without [the customer’s] consent.

Read the full finding

The problem

Contracts don’t stall in the drafting. They stall in the gaps.

Most of the delay around a commercial contract has nothing to do with the clauses. It is the work of finding out what happened, who decided it, and which draft is real.

  1. Legal hears about it last.

    The deal has a close date before anyone in legal has seen the paper.

  2. Nobody is sure which version is current.

    Three drafts in three inboxes, and a markup made against the wrong one.

  3. Signed, filed, forgotten.

    An executed agreement comes back out of the drawer once something has already gone wrong.

How Midly works

One connected contract lifecycle.

Each stage hands the next one everything it learned, so nothing is re-explained, re-found, or re-argued from nothing.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Forward contracts to your Midly intake inbox, or upload them, then file each one to the right client or matter. Tracked changes in Word files arrive intact.

  2. 02

    Review

    Every clause graded against your own playbook and anchored to the exact language, read from the side you are on.

  3. 03

    Negotiate

    Your edits go back as tracked changes in your name, with the argument beside the clause, and the discussion stays in one place.

  4. 04

    Store

    The executed agreement is kept with its key terms pulled out: dates, governing law, payment terms, and the liability cap.

  5. 05

    Monitor

    Expiry, auto-renewal and notice terms are pulled out, and Midly emails reminders before expiry and on the last day to give notice.

On the same agreement, the positions you took last round come with you into the next review. Findings are marked new, carried forward, or resolved, so a round does not start from nothing.

Inside Midly

Know which changes deserve your attention.

When the markup comes back, Midly reads each change against your playbook, shows you the ones that move the risk, and suggests whether to accept, push back or counter. You decide what goes into the document.

Midly's AI Insights panel beside a sample software subscription agreement, summarizing scope and deliverables and payment terms, with an Ask Midly link on each row and a language switch for matching the document, plain, or legal wording.

Summarized in the document’s own register, in plain English, or in legal terms. Ask Midly answers from the contract in front of it and quotes the language it relied on; a quote it cannot find in the document is flagged.

Beyond the signature

The agreement is signed. The intelligence shouldn’t stop.

Negotiated for weeks, then filed and never read again. Midly reads an agreement once it is marked executed, so your repository holds the terms you are actually living under, not a pile of files somebody would have to open.

  • What it says, without reading it again

    What kind of agreement it is, when it starts and ends, the governing law, the payment terms, the liability cap, and whether indemnities are uncapped.

  • The deadline comes and finds you

    Auto-renewal and the notice period are pulled out of clause 14, and Midly emails reminders before expiry and on the last day to give notice.

  • A version your client can read

    Email your client a plain-English summary of the key terms. Your playbook analysis stays with you.

  • Ask it anything about that agreement

    Ask Midly answers from the executed document and quotes the language it relied on.

A real review

What Midly found in a vendor’s own paper.

We ran a SaaS vendor’s published master subscription agreement through Midly, from the customer’s side, against a customer-side playbook. It returned 14 findings. This is the one it marked red, exactly as Midly wrote it, with the names removed.

Their clause, and the change Midly proposed

[Vendor] may modify this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version at [the vendor's website], which modifications will become effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the month in which they were first posted; provided, however, that if an Order specifies a fixed term of 12 months or longer, the modifications will instead be effective immediately upon the start of the next Renewal Order Term. In either case, if Customer objects to the updated Agreement, as its sole and exclusive remedy, Customer may choose not to renew in accordance with Section 6.3. and providing Customer with at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice of any material modification. Material modifications shall not become effective with respect to any then-current Order Term without Customer's prior written consent. If Customer objects to any material modification, Customer may terminate the applicable Order(s) upon written notice to [Vendor] within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such modification, and [Vendor] will issue a Pro-Rated Refund for any prepaid, unused Fees. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of the Order.

Struck is their text Midly would remove. Underlined is what it would add.

Unilateral Agreement Modification RightRed · Playbook deviation

The finding

Section 22.8 permits [Vendor] to modify this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version online, with changes becoming effective as early as the first day of the following calendar month. As the customer buying this subscription, [the customer] has no right to object and negotiate: the sole remedy is non-renewal under Section 6.3. This means [Vendor] can unilaterally alter payment terms, data rights, liability caps, or any other provision mid-relationship without [the customer's] consent. The playbook is explicit that no unilateral amendment rights are acceptable, making this a hard deviation. The practical exposure for a small firm is that a material change to, say, the data processing terms or the liability cap could take effect with as little as one month's notice and no ability to push back short of walking away from the platform.

The note Midly drafted for the other side

I accept that [Vendor] needs the ability to update its standard terms over time. What my client cannot accept is a unilateral right to modify material terms, including pricing, liability, and data rights, with no consent mechanism and no remedy beyond non-renewal. I propose a sixty-day advance notice requirement for material changes, with a right to terminate and receive a pro-rated refund if my client objects. This is a standard accommodation for enterprise SaaS customers and does not prevent [Vendor] from updating non-material operational terms on its current timeline.

Product output Midly’s review informs your judgment; it is not legal advice, and a finding is a starting point for the attorney reading it, not a conclusion.

Why not a chatbot and Word?

AI review is only the beginning.

Midly connects the decisions made during negotiation to the agreement that gets signed, and to the obligations that follow it.

Stage An AI chat beside Word, email and a shared drive Midly
Review standards Whatever you remembered to paste into the prompt this time. Your playbook, read from the side you represent. Red deviations stay flagged until someone resolves or acknowledges them.
Negotiation context Versions in file names, reasons in email threads. Compare the version you sent with the one that came back. Your argument stays attached to the clause, and on the same agreement your positions carry into the next round.
Grounding A fluent answer, whether or not the document says it. Every finding is tied to the clause it quotes, and high-risk findings are checked against the text before you see them.
After signature The final PDF goes into a folder. The executed agreement becomes a record of its key terms: dates, governing law, payment terms, the liability cap.
Renewals Someone remembers, or doesn’t. Expiry and notice terms become dates, and Midly emails reminders before they pass.

Built for how you work

Two ways in. One workspace underneath.

The reading is the same whether you carry several clients’ contracts or your own company’s. What surrounds it is not.

You support several clients

For fractional GCs & commercial practices

Be the legal team your clients need. Without building one yourself.

Run client work from intake to invoice in the same place you review the paper.

  • Client workspaces. A dedicated workspace for each client, and a secure portal where they see only the documents you share with them, approve and sign, and message you.
  • Intake by email. Forward contracts to your Midly intake inbox, then file them to the client in one click.
  • Review against your playbook. Plus the standing instructions you keep for each client.
  • Time and billing. Time tracked against the document once you mark the work billable, invoices built from it, and payment through your own Stripe account.
  • Repository intelligence. Executed terms, expiry reminders, and a plain-English summary you can email the client.

You support one business

For in-house legal teams

Stop chasing contracts. Start moving deals.

Bring legal in earlier, let the business move inside the rules you set, and see every agreement in one place.

  • Intake from the business. Contracts sent to your intake address arrive in one place: your review queue.
  • Collaboration without the thread. Version history, comments and approvals on every document, instead of across email.
  • Guardrails you set once. Approval rules by contract value, template or region, and red playbook deviations block sending until they are resolved.
  • Sign-off without seats. Business stakeholders review and sign off by magic link, in sequence when you need it.
  • Contract visibility. What is pending, active and expiring, with expiry reminders by email.

Patience Babajide, Esq., founder and CEO of Midly

Built from firsthand experience

Midly began with a legal team of one.

Supporting an entire business region without additional legal resources revealed a problem that better contract drafting alone couldn’t solve: disconnected workflows, missing context, and too much administrative work. Midly was built to bring that process together.

“I have been a commercial attorney for thirteen years and I still practice, which means I am still the one reading the other side’s paper. I built Midly for that job, and I run my own client work through it.”
