Your Freight Broker Contract Could Be Hiding Unlimited Cargo Liability
Most broker agreements contain vague insurance clauses and catastrophic liability limits that can bankrupt your business after a single claim. AI-powered contract analysis finds the traps before you sign.
The Problem: Blindly Accepting Unfair Risk
Standard freight broker contracts are written to protect carriers and shippers, not you. Without legal expertise, you're agreeing to terms that can expose your entire business to financial ruin.
- Unlimited cargo liability for 'negligence'—a term often defined arbitrarily by the other party
- Confusing 'All-Risk' vs. 'Named Peril' insurance requirements that leave critical gaps
- Automatic indemnification clauses that make you pay for others' mistakes
- Sub-limits on specific cargo types (e.g., electronics, pharmaceuticals) that nullify your primary coverage
