Extract contracts to structured JSON

Contracts bury parties, terms, obligations, dates, and financial conditions in pages of legal text. Formats vary across counterparties and industries. Use Sensible to get structured contract data for CLM integration, obligation tracking, renewal management, and compliance.

Trusted by teams turning documents into production data

Why contracts break standard extraction tools

Long-form legal text, nested clauses, and formatting that changes with every counterparty make contracts a language problem, not a layout one. We identify clauses, link amendments, and return the terms that matter as structured fields.

01

Legal Language Parsing

Contracts mix structured data (party names, dates, amounts) with dense legal prose. LLM reasoning interprets the legal language; SenseML rules extract the specific fields and values your contract management system needs.

02

Clause Identification

Termination, indemnification, confidentiality, force majeure: these clauses appear in varying sections with different numbering schemes. Each clause type is located by semantic meaning, not position, because every firm structures contracts differently.

03

Amendment and Addendum Linking

Original agreement numbers, modified clauses, new terms: amendments reference their parent contract and change specific provisions. Each modification is extracted as a structured change record linked to the original.

Managed services

Don't want to build it? We'll write your configs from your samples.

Solutions engineers handle plan, build, deploy, and adjust on your behalf. You see clean JSON in your API response. Same engine as self-serve, just with the configuration work outsourced.

What's included

01Plan.Engineers review your samples and pick the right method

02Build.SenseML configs written from your samples

03Deploy.Same engine as self-serve, ready for production

04Adjust.We update configs when formats shift or new edge cases appear

05Integrate.Help with custom integration into your downstream systems

Fields we extract

Every contract is different, so we build the config around your exact schema rather than a fixed list. These are the fields legal and ops teams request most; we map whatever else your contract-management system needs.

01

Parties and dates

Party names, addresses, roles (buyer/seller/licensor/licensee), effective date, execution date, expiration date, governing law, jurisdiction

02

Financial terms

Contract value, payment schedule, rate/pricing, penalties, caps, escalation clauses, currency, tax treatment

03

Key clauses

Termination provisions, renewal terms (auto-renewal/notice period), indemnification, limitation of liability, confidentiality, IP ownership

Common Questions

Answers about clause identification, amendment linking, and contract type support.

Can Sensible handle contract amendments and addenda?

Yes. Sensible processes amendments as standalone documents, extracting the original agreement reference, amendment date, modified clauses, and new terms.

Does Sensible extract key dates and terms from contracts?

Effective date, expiration date, renewal terms, notice periods, payment terms, and milestone dates come back by default. Contracts vary widely, so these are examples of what's commonly pulled, not a closed list. The dates and terms you extract are defined in configuration and shaped to your agreement types.

What party information does Sensible extract from contracts?

Sensible captures party names, roles (buyer, seller, licensor, licensee), addresses, and signatory details including name, title, and signature date. Roles and party fields are defined in configuration, so you extend them for the agreement types you handle rather than mapping to a fixed set.

Can Sensible identify specific clauses in contracts?

Yes. Sensible locates clause types like indemnification, limitation of liability, termination, confidentiality, non-compete, and force majeure. Those are common examples. The clauses it looks for are defined in configuration, so you add the provisions specific to your contracts when something isn't already covered.

Do you support webhooks?

Yes. Sensible sends extraction results to your webhook endpoint when processing completes. You can also poll the API for status.

Does Sensible support human review?

Yes. Sensible flags extractions with low confidence for human review. You can configure review thresholds and workflows.

What security certifications does Sensible have?

Sensible is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

How long is document data retained?

Document data is stored indefinitely by default. Custom retention policies are available and can be configured for same-day deletion if needed.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Sensible offers a 14-day free trial on the Growth plan. No credit card required to start.

How is pricing structured?

Sensible uses per-document pricing for predictable costs. No token-based billing or usage surprises. Volume discounts are available for higher throughput.

How do I integrate with Sensible?

Sensible provides REST APIs and SDKs for Python and Node.js. Most integrations take a few hours. Webhooks, Zapier, and direct API calls are all supported.

What file formats does Sensible support?

Sensible processes PDFs (native or scanned), Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), spreadsheets (XLSX, XLS, CSV), single-page images (JPEG, PNG), multi-page images (TIFF), and email bodies with attachments.

How accurate is the extraction?

Accuracy depends on document quality and configuration. Most production deployments achieve 95%+ accuracy with proper validation rules and confidence signals.

How fast is document processing?

Processing speed depends on document size, page count, OCR requirements, and which extraction methods are used. Simple single-page documents process in seconds. Larger or more complex documents that use LLM-based extraction take longer.
