Most common risks in finance & sales
The clauses BrieflyGo flags most often across these documents.
⚠️ High late-fee rates
1.5% per month (18% APR) is common but may exceed usury limits in your jurisdiction.
⚠️ Short dispute windows
Some invoices require disputes to be raised within 5 days — after that you’ve accepted all charges.
⚠️ Automatic lien rights
Service providers may have automatic lien rights on your property if you don’t pay on time.
⚠️ Hidden surcharges
Processing fees, fuel surcharges, or admin fees added after quote — if you pay, you’ve accepted them.
⚠️ Unlimited cancellation rights
Buyer can cancel at any time with no penalty — leaving you holding materials and sunk costs.
⚠️ Liquidated damages
Fixed penalties per day of late delivery can quickly exceed the value of the order.
