Main Filters​

Text Search​

The Text Search filter allows you to search for specific text within the search results.

  • Keyword Search Enter terms separated by spaces (e.g., distribution mining). You can add additional separate queries to drill down and further narrow the results.

  • Exact Phrase Enclose the query in quotes (e.g., "partnership agreement") for precise matches.

Contract Category​

The Contract Category filter allows you to filter search results by contract type. All contracts are assigned a general category. When applied to clauses or defined terms, the results will be limited to clauses or defined terms (as applicable) found in contracts of the selected category.

Governing Law​

The Governing Law filter allows you to filter search results by the governing law (choice of law) of the contract. Note that not all contracts specify a governing law.

Amendments​

The Amendments filter allows you to hide partial amendments from the search results. Amendments modify specific provisions of an existing agreement while leaving the rest of the agreement intact. You may hide amendments to view only complete agreements. Note that amended and restated agreements replace the entire original agreement and therefore are not classified as amendments for these purposes.

Clause Category​

The Clause Category filter is applicable to the clause search results allowing you to filter clauses by category. All clauses are assigned a general category.

Defined Term Category​

The Defined Term Category filter is applicable to the defined term search results allowing you to filter defined terms by category. All defined terms are assigned a general category.

Duplicates​

The Duplicates filters is applicable to the clauses and defined terms search results allowing you to hide duplicate clauses or defined terms from the search results. By default, duplicates are hidden from results.
