Most common risks in legal & corporate
The clauses BrieflyGo flags most often across these documents.
⚠️ Overbroad definition
"All information disclosed" with no carve-outs can cover publicly known facts and make normal business impossible.
⚠️ Unlimited duration
Perpetual NDAs are occasionally enforceable — particularly for trade secrets — creating lifetime obligations.
⚠️ One-sided obligations
You protect their information; they have no reciprocal obligations about yours.
⚠️ Injunctive relief consent
Pre-agreed injunctions mean they can get a court order against you without proving actual harm.
⚠️ Excessive penalty clauses
Month-to-month rent as early-termination penalty (2–3× normal rent) is often unenforceable — but you’ll need a lawyer to fight it.
⚠️ Waived habitability rights
Some leases attempt to waive implied warranty of habitability — illegal in most US states.

Signing an NDA is easy. Understanding what you just agreed never to say is harder.
