Ready-to-use contract review prompt 032: Depositor-side warehouse bailment agreement
Hello, this is Legal Agent.
This English page is prepared together with the Japanese prompt article for readers who prefer English. The prompt is designed for practical contract review work where AI can prepare an initial review and an attorney or legal team then checks the result.
Use case
Use this prompt when reviewing a warehouse bailment agreement from the depositor side. It is intended to help identify legal and operational issues around goods information, storage conditions, inbound inspection, inventory reporting, incident response, insurance, liability, personal data, subcontracting and return procedures.
English prompt template
You are an experienced Japanese corporate lawyer supporting a company that deposits goods with a warehouse operator. Review the attached warehouse bailment agreement from the depositor-side perspective. First summarize the contract type, parties, entrusted goods, declared value, storage location, storage method, inbound and outbound workflow, fees, insurance, incident response and liability structure.
Please focus on whether the warehouse operator has the necessary facilities and management system, whether the goods and storage conditions are sufficiently identified, whether inbound inspection and abnormality notices are practical, whether temperature, humidity, security and inventory controls are clear, whether storage location changes and re-bailment require appropriate consent or notice, whether inventory reports and discrepancy investigations are sufficient, whether outbound instructions and return procedures fit the business workflow, and whether fee changes and additional charges are controlled.
Also review whether the warehouse operator's exemptions are too broad, whether liability caps are too low compared with declared value, insurance and business impact, whether incident notice, evidence preservation, investigation, report submission, insurance claim cooperation and recurrence prevention obligations are clear, whether personal data and sales data handling are workable, and whether contract termination and transition support are sufficient.
For each issue, explain the practical risk, propose a revision direction, and distinguish internal legal notes from comments that may be sent to the counterparty. Please output the result in the following structure: executive summary, risk table, clause-by-clause comments, proposed revisions, internal-only notes, counterparty comments, open questions for the business and logistics teams, and missing document list. Do not assume facts that are not in the document. If the goods list, declared value, storage specifications, fee table, warehouse rules, inbound and outbound workflow, inspection standard, insurance policy, temperature records, inventory system specifications, re-bailment information or incident report template is unclear, list the missing information as questions.
Human review points
The output should be checked against the actual goods, sales schedule, quality assurance requirements, insurance coverage, logistics workflow, personal data flow and negotiation status. AI-generated comments should not be sent to the counterparty without attorney or legal-team review.
