Contract Clause Type Classifier
Reads one data license clause and names its type out of eight: exclusivity, term and renewal, payment, confidentiality, IP and ownership, indemnity, audit and deletion, or termination.
Every name, number and sentence it was trained on is made up. Nothing comes from a real person, customer or business.

Why it exists
A data license is easier to review when each clause is filed under its type. This model files clauses so a person can compare, say, every indemnity across offers.
Use it
from transformers import pipeline
classify = pipeline("text-classification", model="aitrainingdatabroker/contract-clause-type-classifier", top_k=3)
print(classify("The Licensee may keep the Dataset after the term and need not delete it."))
How it was trained
Fine-tuned from distilroberta-base for 6 epochs on one RTX 3070. Training data: 376 rows from synthetic-contract-clauses-by-type-and-risk, all invented, with test rows built from templates the model never saw in training. The scripts that built the data and trained the model are in source/; the full scores are in scores.json.
Test scores
On 186 held-out rows: accuracy 0.726, macro F1 0.711.

Limits
- Trained only on invented text from templates, with test sentences built from templates it never saw. Real text varies far more.
- Real clauses are longer and mix topics; a clause with two ideas gets one label.
- This model is not legal advice and not a certification. A person should review its output before anything is shared or decided, and your counsel decides what a rule requires.
