The Real Problem: Deviations
Everyone complains about deal speed, but the real problem isn't velocity—it's that every negotiation produces a slightly different agreement. In-house legal teams are stuck managing thousands of unique contracts and risk profiles, for years.
AI can speed this up, but as long as you're still burying changes in redlines that you erase before you sign, the risk is just deferred until it surfaces at renewal, due diligence or in a dispute.
2. Make It Yours
Bonterms operates on vetted, market-proven Standard Agreements. You review the Standard once and then calibrate it to your business needs (Key and Additional Terms) and by attaching your existing policies.
After that, every deviation lives on the Cover Page, not buried in redlines. If it's not on the Cover Page, it's the Standard.
Remote Control Negotiation
After calibrating the Standard, Legal sets the negotiation boundaries with Templates, Auto-Accept Alternatives and Internal Playbooks. Each deal then moves without you until something actually needs a decision.
When it does, Reviewers come into the deal with full context. No scanning emails. No running your own redline. Just the decision.
4. Built for the Recipient
Full negotiations happen on Bonterms, not Zoom or email chains. Most agreements close with little or no back and forth. When negotiation does happen, your recipient will typically work from the Standard Playbook and otherwise make minor deviations.
Why the Standards Hold Up
Bonterms operates on Standard Agreements. Standards aren't a compromise:
