Practise the standard verbs for reviewing a vendor contract carefully.

1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every contract's data handling terms line by line, since a vague clause about data ownership can matter far more later than the headline price.'
We 'review terms' — the standard, simple collocation for scrutinising the specific language of an agreement. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Signing a vendor contract without checking the exit clause can ___ the team stuck paying for a service long after it's stopped being useful.'
We say an unchecked exit clause will 'leave' a team stuck in the contract — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting lock-in. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ any clause that reads ambiguously to legal before signing, since a term that seems harmless to an engineer can carry real weight in a dispute later.'
We 'flag a clause' — the standard, simple collocation for raising a concerning term for further review. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the SLA terms against our own uptime requirements, rather than accepting a vendor's default numbers without checking they actually match our needs.'
We 'negotiate an SLA' — the standard, simple collocation for adjusting service-level terms to fit actual requirements. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the final contract with both engineering and legal before signing, since a technical detail missed by one side is often exactly what the other side catches.'
We 'sign off on a contract' — the standard, simple collocation for giving formal approval before a deal is finalised. The other options are less idiomatic here.
