Why this Matters

See value, risks, and position at a glance for better decisions.

A certified contract gives buyers an immediate signal that the agreement has already been independently reviewed against objective standards, so they do not need to start from a blank slate. That means procurement and legal can focus on any truly exceptional issues instead of re-litigating the whole paper, helping the vendor get to usage faster.

When a contract is benchmarked and certified as Balanced or Customer Favorable, buyers know the core terms are already aligned with market norms and defined fairness criteria. That reduces the instinct to redline broadly, because the agreement has already cleared a credibility threshold before negotiation begins.

Certification gives internal stakeholders a common, data-backed basis for approval, which lowers the time spent debating whether the contract is “acceptable”. In practice, that lets procurement, legal, and finance move from review mode to decision mode much faster.

A certified contract signals transparency: the vendor is willing to have its terms independently assessed and publicly displayed as fair, balanced, and market-aligned. That kind of external proof reduces suspicion about hidden risk and makes buyers more comfortable moving forward.

Because certification removes uncertainty early, buyers can spend less time negotiating standard terms and more time deciding whether the product is the right fit. TermScout positions this as a way to cut negotiation friction and accelerate time to signature, which directly shortens the overall deal cycle.

Certified Contract Reports, Explained

Verified™ contract reviews are reviews of contracts that have been carefully checked by contract experts. This review is designed to help users understand the rights and obligations associated with the Intelligent Automation Agreement ("IAA") for Automation Anywhere, Inc.. We looked at the issues found in 'Term Sheets' and did not look for any other issues.

For more information on TermScout's contract review process, visit our methodology page.

In order to qualify for Certification, a contract must meet the following criteria:

  • Achieve a TermScout rating of Balanced or Customer Favorable, and
  • Be free of all designated Deal Breaker clauses.

The difference between certified Balanced and certified Customer Favorable is the TermScout favorability rating achieved by the contract. Each of these criteria is more fully described below.

A contract is balanced when it allocates risks between the parties in a roughly equal manner, as determined by TermScout's two-step, data-driven analysis. First, we use our proprietary AI to abstract over 750 defined data points from each contract we analyze. Then, we use an algorithm to objectively score that data. Because TermScout looks at the exact same set of data points and uses the exact same scoring algorithm in every contract analysis we conduct, you can now compare contracts on an apples-to-apples basis. (You can read more about the data points that TermScout analyzes in every IT contract here.)

This enables us to objectively rate contracts at both the agreement level and by key topic area (e.g., limitations of liability, indemnification, warranties, etc.) and show you which contracts are vendor favorable, which are customer favorable, and which are balanced.

Not all risks are created equal. Even if a contract shifts only a single risk to the buyer, the contract still may not merit certification if that risk is material enough. Examples of these types of Deal Breakers include exclusivity, complete disclaimers of liability, etc. Accordingly, TermScout will not certify a contract if it contains any of the following Deal Breaker clauses,² which TermScout identified by reference to market data and input from prominent buy-side and sell-side legal experts from TermScout's Innovation Advisory Council:

This makes it nearly impossible for a customer to recover from a vendor, no matter what goes wrong - even if the vendor violates other provisions of the contract.

Signing non-competes means contractually promising not to engage in a certain line of business. This is something most businesses want to avoid where possible.

Agreeing not to solicit a vendor's employees, customers, or vendors sounds reasonable, but it places challenging burdens on the customer to ensure they comply.

Agreeing not to procure similar services from other companies can severely hinder a company's ability to do business.

Privacy laws require companies to follow strict rules with respect to how they handle certain types of data. This clause presents major risks to a company's ability to comply with such laws.

It's extremely rare for a customer to need to assign IP rights to an IT vendor. Doing so can materially jeopardize a company's rights in its own IP.

Since most IT services today are delivered "as a service", customers often upload wide varieties of information onto vendors' servers. Confidentiality commitments are expected by most customers.

The goal of TermScout's reports is to provide users with the data necessary to make an informed decision about whether they can accept the terms. The data provided in TermScout's reports includes:

  • Term Sheet: A full report of the key rights and obligations contained in the agreement.
  • Overall Ratings: TermScout's overall impression of the favorability of the contract vis a vis the parties. These ratings are algorithmic approximations of favorability that are based on market data and the subject views of contract experts with experience in the specific type of contract.
  • Rare Clause Radar: TermScout identifies and surfaces a list of the most rare and material clauses that favor your counterparty.
  • Playbooks: Playbooks are a way of programming into TermScout's software a specific set of acceptance criteria for a contract type. All accounts have access to sample Playbooks for select templates, and Pro accounts have the ability to build custom Playbooks.
  • Comparable Contracts: We'll show a list of contracts sorted by favorability ratings and allow for the comparison of similar contracts based on position, industry, and contract type.
  • Market Data: Any right or obligation in a contract can be compared to market data for similar contract types, including data from TermScout's Contract Market Database™ of thousands of public contracts and anonymized and aggregated data from hundreds of negotiated contracts.

Please note that this report focuses on the identification of terms from the contract documents listed under 'Scope of Review' and compares them against a defined set of criteria. Certain services may be subject to additional terms not available to TermScout, such as purchase orders and other deal-specific documents. You should always review the terms associated with the specific service you are using and know that TermScout's ratings generally do not cover (a) services purchased through a reseller, (b) offline variants of any of the Agreements, (c) service-specific terms that override any of the terms discussed here, or (d) free services. You also should consult your legal counsel if you have any questions about the meaning, significance or assessment of any agreement or provision.

TermScout prepared this report with an average use-case customer in mind and operated under the assumptions listed below (the "Key Assumptions"). To the extent that provisions in a contract vary based on specific circumstances that differ from the Key Assumptions, TermScout ignores those variations. Additional contract-level assumptions, if any, are disclosed in 'Notes to Customer'.

Key Assumptions

  1. Customer is an average "end user" of the service (i.e. not a partner, distributor, or developer).
  2. Customer is not a government entity.
  3. Customer is a US-based company and is using the service in the US.
  4. Customer is a paying user (i.e. not a user of free services).
  5. Customer is not using beta services.
  6. Unless otherwise noted, service-specific terms that may override or supersede the terms of the Agreement are not reviewed by TermScout.

We reviewed the IAA for Automation Anywhere and any documents specifically listed under 'Scope of Review'. For purposes of this report, "Customer" means the party contracting with Automation Anywhere and "Vendor" means Automation Anywhere.

References herein to the "Agreement" are to the following documents:

TermScout did not review any documents other than those listed above. If other documents form part of this Agreement, the answers provided by TermScout may be incomplete or incorrect. TermScout's accuracy commitments only cover documents specifically identified in this section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Legal and procurement teams often escalate developer-tool agreements when vendors reserve broad authority to modify platform functionality, API behavior, usage policies, or operational controls without structured customer review. Delays increase when those changes could materially affect deployment pipelines, engineering workflows, or compliance obligations after implementation. Enterprise buyers generally expect developer platforms to maintain predictable governance processes because operational dependencies on these tools tend to deepen significantly over time.

Buyers frequently challenge agreements that permit vendors to revise security standards, rate limits, pricing structures, or integration requirements through external policy updates without contractual notice obligations. Additional concern arises when customers lack meaningful termination rights following material operational changes. Enterprise review teams generally favor structured change-management frameworks that preserve visibility and operational continuity across evolving engineering environments.

Enterprise buyers often interpret broad modification authority as a signal of future operational unpredictability, especially when the platform supports production deployments or infrastructure automation. Agreements that preserve advance notice requirements, escalation pathways, and stable operational commitments generally create more confidence during legal and procurement review. In contrast, heavily vendor-controlled change frameworks may suggest that governance expectations could shift materially after onboarding without sufficient customer oversight.

Buyers commonly assess whether contractual modification rights could disrupt integrations, CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling dependencies, or security-review assumptions established during procurement. Concern increases when vendors can alter technical requirements, suspend functionality, or redefine acceptable use standards without coordinated operational planning. Enterprise teams increasingly evaluate these provisions as indicators of long-term governance stability rather than isolated legal drafting issues.
