LexyAi report

Design services agreement

  • Critical

    «Payment shall be made 90 days after the Client approves the invoice.»

  • High

    «The Provider assigns, exclusively and without time limit, all exploitation rights over the work.»

Common risks

Four clauses that keep coming up and how LexyAi catches them.

The risk

Payment 90 days after the client "approves" the invoice

The clock starts whenever the client wants. Between delivery, approval and payment, four months can go by while you keep paying your own bills.

How LexyAi solves it

LexyAi works out the real payment term and compares it with the Late Payment Act: 60 days at most, which cannot be extended by agreement, and no more than 30 days to accept the work. If it's exceeded, it's flagged as critical with suggested wording to ask for.

Risk analysis

The risk

Assignment of "all rights", exclusive and unlimited

What you design, code or write belongs to the client forever and for any use: they can resell or modify it without paying you more.

How LexyAi solves it

It identifies the exact scope of the assignment (uses, duration, territory and exclusivity) and checks it against the Intellectual Property Act. It suggests limiting it to the project's uses or charging separately for exclusivity.

Abusive clauses with legal basis · Professional

The risk

An 18-month non-compete across a whole sector

A single client can lock you out of a large part of your market for a year and a half, with no compensation.

How LexyAi solves it

It flags the duration, scope and whether there's compensation, and explains why such a restriction may be disproportionate. It suggests limiting it to specific clients, a shorter period or adding compensation.

Negotiation points · Professional

The risk

Free cancellation the day before delivery

The client can terminate whenever they want without paying for work already done.

How LexyAi solves it

It detects the imbalance between what the client can do and what you can do, and suggests milestone payments or compensation for work completed.
