Why StartedUp

Not another global CLM configured for the Gulf. Built for it.

Global contract tools treat Arabic and UAE law as edge cases. StartedUp treats them as the default.

Reads Arabic and English natively

Bilingual extraction on the same contract — party names, dates, values and clauses in either script. Built for the way GCC contracts are actually written.

Knows UAE law, not just 'contracts'

Jurisdiction-aware across onshore UAE, DIFC, ADGM and foreign law. Red flags are tuned to UAE realities — auto-renewal notice windows, PDPL data clauses, Arabic/English version precedence.

Every figure traces to its source

No black-box answers. Each extracted term and every red flag links back to the exact clause it came from — so your team can verify, not just trust.

Nothing fires without a human

Draft non-renewal notices (English or Arabic) are generated on demand and always require named human approval. The system never sends anything on its own.

How it works

From a PDF to a tracked, de-risked contract in minutes.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Drop in a PDF, DOCX or paste the text — English, Arabic or bilingual. The original is stored and downloadable.

  2. 02

    Extract & analyse

    AI pulls parties, dates, values, renewal terms and obligations, runs the UAE red-flag rules, and cites every finding to its clause.

  3. 03

    Track & get alerted

    Obligations land on a calendar. Alerts fire at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before every renewal and deadline.

  4. 04

    Act, with approval

    Generate a draft non-renewal notice in English or Arabic. A named person approves before anything is final — recorded in the audit trail.

UAE-law red flags

The quiet clauses that cost the most — caught automatically.

A versioned catalogue of deterministic, UAE-tuned rules runs on every contract. Each flag is explained in plain language and cited to the clause it came from.

  • Auto-renewal with a notice window you're about to miss
  • Payment terms beyond your policy threshold
  • Missing or foreign governing law on a UAE-domestic contract
  • Unilateral termination rights weighted against you
  • Uncapped liability and asymmetric indemnities
  • Arabic/English version-precedence ambiguity
  • Contracts expiring within 90 days with no renewal decision recorded

See it on your own contracts.

Solutions

One product, mapped to the job you need done.

By jurisdiction

Onshore, DIFC, ADGM — different legal systems, read correctly.

The UAE isn't one contract-law regime. StartedUp classifies each contract's jurisdiction and analyses it in the right frame.

FAQ

Questions UAE teams ask before switching.

Does it work with Arabic contracts?

Yes. StartedUp extracts key terms from Arabic, English and bilingual contracts natively — including party names and clauses in both scripts — and can generate draft notices in either language.

Is it aware of UAE, DIFC and ADGM law?

Yes. Contracts are classified by jurisdiction (onshore UAE, DIFC, ADGM or foreign), and the red-flag rules are tuned to UAE realities such as auto-renewal notice windows, PDPL data-protection clauses and Arabic/English version precedence.

How does it handle renewals and deadlines?

Every dated obligation — renewals, payments, notice deadlines — is placed on an obligations calendar, and email alerts fire at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before each due date, plus an overdue nudge.

Can I trust the AI's answers?

Every extracted field and every red flag links back to the exact source clause, so your team verifies rather than trusts. Low-confidence extractions are routed to human review before alerts activate. It is decision support, not legal advice.

Is my contract data secure?

Contracts live in an isolated workspace with role-based access and an append-only audit trail. Data is encrypted in transit, passwords are hashed, and your documents are never used to train any model. StartedUp is built in line with the UAE PDPL.

How much does it cost?

You can start free. Paid plans for teams are priced per workspace — contact us for pricing tailored to your contract volume.
