Why this matters
Most contract review tools either cost six figures or demand training data per contract type. ExtractFox uses a model that can read a contract end-to-end and return structured metadata without setup — useful for due diligence, vendor reviews, or building a searchable index of an MSA library. M&A due diligence rooms often hold 200+ MSAs with no one logged expiration dates, liability caps, or auto-renewal terms — someone opens each PDF and Ctrl-Fs for 'termination.' Legal ops teams trying to flag contracts renewing in the next 90 days hit the same wall: the metadata lives on page 40, buried under exhibits. A fast metadata pass before sending to counsel cuts triage time from hours per contract to minutes.
How it works
- Step 1Upload the contract
Single PDF, up to 50 MB.
- Step 2Extract structured metadata
Parties, effective date, expiration, term, governing law, total value, and a list of key clauses with summaries.
- Step 3Index or export
JSON straight into a contracts database, or Excel for a deal-room summary.

Frequently asked questions
Can ExtractFox read complex contracts like MSAs and SOWs?+
Yes. The model reads the whole document and identifies parties, dates, term, and the most important clauses. Long contracts work; very dense legal documents may need a follow-up custom extraction.
Does it summarize clauses or quote them verbatim?+
Each key clause comes back with a short summary, not a verbatim copy. If you need exact text for specific provisions like indemnification or limitation of liability, type that as a description below the document tiles.
Will this replace contract review tools like Ironclad or Kira?+
It overlaps with the metadata-extraction layer of those tools but doesn't replace negotiation workflow or playbook compliance. It is a fast way to inventory a stack of legacy contracts.
What about NDAs, employment contracts, and lease agreements?+
All work. The schema is intentionally generic — parties, dates, term, key clauses — so it adapts to most contract types. For very specific extractions (e.g. just the cap on liability), type a description in the box below the tiles.
Can I extract a clause-by-clause comparison across multiple contracts?+
Run extraction on each contract individually, then diff the JSON. The stable schema means clauses come back with the same names across files, which makes cross-contract comparison straightforward.
Is this safe for confidential or privileged contracts?+
Files are processed by ExtractFox's secure extraction engine and are not stored long-term; larger uploads use temporary private storage and are deleted after processing. For privileged work or regulated industries, contact us about a self-hosted or VPC deployment.
Can I extract just the liability cap or indemnification clause?+
Yes — use the Key clauses sub-extraction, or type a description like 'extract only the limitation of liability cap and indemnification obligations' in the box below the tiles. You get a focused answer instead of the full metadata pass.
Does it handle contracts with exhibits and schedules attached?+
Yes. Multi-page contracts with exhibits, schedules, and order forms are read end-to-end. Key clauses from exhibits are included in the summary list when they're material — use a custom description if you need every exhibit parsed separately.
