Subcontractor Agreement Review

AI review of subcontractor contracts to catch liability pass-throughs, payment dependencies, and scope mismatches.

What is a Subcontractor Agreement?

A subcontractor agreement governs the relationship between a prime contractor and a subcontractor hired to perform part of the work. The primary risk for subcontractors is that the prime contractor passes through the obligations of their client contract without corresponding protections. This means you may be bound by deadlines, quality standards, and liability terms from a contract you have never seen.

Inkvex reviews subcontractor agreements for pass-through liability, payment conditioned on the prime receiving payment (pay-when-paid clauses), scope alignment with the prime contract, IP ownership, and termination conditions.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Pay-when-paid clause that delays your payment until the prime contractor gets paid
  • Pass-through liability from the prime contract without seeing the prime contract terms
  • No direct communication with the end client, creating telephone-game scope confusion
  • IP assignment to the prime contractor with no retained rights
  • Indemnification for the prime contractor's errors or omissions
  • Non-compete preventing you from working directly with the end client
