Invoice
Invoices look simple — but buried terms can trigger late fees, penalties, and disputes.
An invoice is more than a request for payment — the fine print creates legal obligations. BrieflyGo checks payment terms, late-fee structures, dispute windows, and lien rights you may not know you’ve accepted.
What BrieflyGo checks
- Net payment terms (Net 15/30/60/90)

What risks are detected
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.
