## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### Why payment terms deserve their own reminders

Payment deadlines hide in plain sight. The net term looks simple (net 30, net 60), but the contract usually layers in an early-payment discount with a shorter window, a late-fee clause that starts accruing the day after the due date, and sometimes milestone payments tied to deliverables rather than the calendar. Treating all of that as one due date is how teams miss the discount window and still pay late. Splitting the discount deadline, the net-term due date, and the milestone triggers into separate reminders is what keeps both savings and the vendor relationship intact.

### Early-payment discounts are money teams leave on the table

A 2/10 net 30 discount is a 2% reduction for paying 20 days early. Annualized, that's a return most treasuries would take in a heartbeat, but only if someone notices the window before it closes. In practice the invoice lands, sits in an approval queue, and the 10-day window lapses before anyone reviews the terms. A reminder anchored to the discount deadline, not the net-term due date, turns the discount from a missed footnote into a default. Across a year of vendor invoices, that difference is real cash.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the payment deadline reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your contract or order form as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the payment due dates, early-payment discount windows, milestone payment dates, and late-fee triggers, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically with email reminders, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** What payment terms will the tool find?
  **A:** It surfaces net-term due dates (net 15, 30, 60, 90), early-payment discount windows like 2/10 net 30, milestone and progress-payment dates, and the late-fee or interest clause that applies after the due date. Each item comes with the source clause so you can verify before you schedule anything.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your contract, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself if that's all you need.

- **Q:** Can it handle milestone and progress payments?
  **A:** Yes. Contracts with milestone or progress payments often tie each payment to a deliverable or date rather than a single invoice. The extraction lists each milestone payment with its trigger so you can set a reminder ahead of each one, not just the final balance.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your contract is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
