Our first installment of the Contract Traps: A Field Guide series helped you spot common pitfalls in “standard” customer agreements. Now, Part 2 raises the stakes.

In this installment we walk through six more provisions that can quietly shift risk onto emerging companies, from clauses that let customers rewrite the rules mid‑contract to warranty language that turns routine service hiccups into breach claims. We also highlight how seemingly harmless terms around termination, change of control, and affiliates can surface later, often at the worst possible time, like during a financing or sale. A close read now can help you avoid costly surprises down the line.
