Step 3 Automatic review and reinforcement service for force majeure clauses in export contracts

Problem

SMEs with annual revenue of 1-10 billion KRW ($750,000-$7.5 million) exporting to the Middle East find it difficult to determine whether they are liable for contract termination or damages under force majeure situations such as war or strait blockades. Reviewing whether existing contract force majeure clauses cover the current situation costs 500,000-2,000,000 KRW ($375-$1,500) per case for external legal advice, and proceeding without review carries penalty risks of tens of millions of KRW.

Solution

Uploading an export contract, the LLM automatically identifies force majeure clauses, analyzes applicability to current geopolitical situations (Iran risk, strait blockades, etc.), and generates reinforcement recommendations. Key features: (1) automatic identification of force majeure clauses and analysis of scope, (2) determination of applicability by current geopolitical scenario, (3) automatic generation of clause reinforcement wording (Korean/English).

Target: Legal/trade managers at SMEs with annual revenue of 1-10 billion KRW ($750,000-$7.5 million) exporting to the Middle East, and trade-related law firms
Revenue Model: Per-transaction billing at 9,900 KRW ($7.43) per contract review, monthly subscription at 49,000 KRW ($36.75) (includes 10 reviews). Separate bulk package for law firms.
