Summarise the Key Terms of Any Contract Before You Sign
The contract is twelve pages and the date is tomorrow. You do not need to understand every clause equally. You need to understand what you are committing to do, what happens if you do not, and whether any of the terms are unusual enough to question. This covers those three things.

2. Payment terms: amounts, timing, and any penalties or adjustments
3. Termination: how and when either party can end the agreement
4. Liability and limitation: what each party is and is not responsible for if things go wrong
5. Any clause that is unusual, one-sided, or worth questioning before signing
