Contracts

Every charter party, held to your playbook.

Sephra reads the whole contract for your side, checks every clause against your positions, and proposes the edits. You accept, adjust and send it back.

A contract review of Spike Trader TC Draft 2 against the Owners NYPE 2015 playbook: findings arrive as reviewers finish, an unmarked hire change is flagged, two proposed edits are accepted as changes in the charter party, and it’s exported as a marked-up PDF.

  1. 01, your step

    Upload the draft

    Word or PDF, including scanned charter parties, recaps and riders. Compare it with the last draft if you have one.

  2. 02, Sephra’s step

    Sephra reads it

    The whole contract, clause by clause, including changes the other side made and didn’t mark.

  3. 03, Sephra’s step

    Every rule is checked

    Reviewers work through your playbook in parallel, and a sweep catches unfavourable terms your playbook doesn’t cover.

  4. 04, Sephra’s step

    Findings, with the wording

    Each finding quotes the clause it relies on, ranks the risk, and proposes the edit.

  5. 05, your step

    Send it back

    Accept the edits and export Word with tracked changes, or a PDF marked up the way brokers expect.

Build your playbook from your own documents.

Give Sephra past fixtures, templates and house positions. It drafts the rules, cites where each came from, and you approve them.

The Playbook builder: Sephra reads three past charter parties and your standard clauses, then drafts playbook rules with preferred, fallback and unacceptable positions, each citing its source.

Every round, compared. Your reply, drafted.

Sephra compares each new draft with the last, including changes nobody marked, gives each one a verdict against your playbook, and drafts your reply.

The negotiation round for Spike Trader TC: five changes since Draft 1, two of them unmarked, each given a verdict against the Owners playbook, while Owners’ reply is marked up in the charter party and exported as a PDF.

Send it back the way the other side expects.

  • Word with tracked changes

    Your edits tracked in your name. The other side’s changes stay as they were.

  • PDF with markup

    Strikeouts and insertions, the way brokers mark a PDF.

  • Owners or charterers

    Every review is run for your side of the deal, against your playbook or market positions.
