ARQS Clausewell Ledger warns businesses before a contract quietly renews, lapses or misses an obligation

The KODE-452 browser tool keeps one register of vendor and customer contracts with each auto-renewal rolled forward, the last day to give notice, contracts ending and overdue deliverables.

ARQS has released Clausewell Ledger, catalogued as KODE-452, a browser tool for small businesses that sign hosting, payroll, freight, lease, software and customer agreements and keep losing track of when each one renews.

Users import a contract list with an ID, counterparty and start and end dates, plus optional annual value, auto-renewal, notice period in days, renewal term and owner. A second, optional import lists obligations such as reports, rebates and reviews by due date. Common spreadsheet and contract-system column names are recognised, and invalid or duplicate rows are listed rather than imported.

Clausewell rolls every auto-renewing contract forward to its current term and works out the last day to give notice. Contracts whose notice deadline falls within 60 days come first, followed by overdue obligations, contracts past their end date that nobody renewed or closed, fixed-term contracts ending soon and terms already locked in because the notice date has passed.

A 120-day calendar puts notice deadlines, renewals, contract ends and obligations in date order, alongside the annual value under contract and the value up for decision. Every import and note is kept in a hash-chained journal in the browser. The tool is not legal advice: deadlines follow the terms the business enters.

Plans are listed at US$199 a month or US$1,990 a year. Online checkout is not open yet; buyers request access by email.

Details are on the Clausewell Ledger page, with pricing on the access page.
