Vern vs LEGALFLY
The supplier wants their terms signed. Your team needs to know where to hold firm and where a fallback will do. Vern brings that decision back to the positions you have already agreed.
Make your next contract decision clearer.
Choose Vern when reviewing and negotiating commercial terms is the job you need to get done. Set your preferred positions, check incoming agreements and work through suggested changes in Word. Separate clause scores help your team see both commercial fit and drafting concerns, while round comparisons show how the negotiation is moving.

Through every round
Keep the fallback tied to the deal.
Suppose a supplier changes its renewal clause after you object. The notice period is shorter, but the price increase is still outside your preferred terms. Vern compares the revised clauses and checks the new wording against your playbook.
Your team can work through the remaining issues and propose the fallback you are prepared to accept. Earlier rounds stay available, so the next person picking up the contract can follow what changed.

LEGALFLY also supports comparison in Word and applies playbook fallbacks during review. Vern brings those negotiation decisions together with separate position and enforceability scores. [1][2]
