Three common ways a contract renews that nobody meant to renew. ### Renewal by default A 12 month auto renewal with 90 days notice renews quietly unless someone recorded the notice date. ### Dates in one spreadsheet End dates kept by one person in a spreadsheet leave with that person, and end dates are the wrong dates anyway. ### Renewing blind Without SLA and obligation history, a renewal is a guess about a supplier you already pay.

Contract renewal management tracks when each agreement renews or expires and when notice is due, then gets a decision to renew, renegotiate or exit before that date. Notice dates matter more than end dates, because the notice window closes first. [See the renewal use case](https://aavenir.com/use-cases/contract-renewal-management/). ### ### How does Aavenir find renewal dates in contracts? Aavenir AI extracts the term, the renewal type and the notice period from the contract text. A contract manager confirms each field, and the notice becomes an event obligation with an owner and reminders. [See AI contract extraction](https://aavenir.com/platform/ai-contract-extraction/). ### ### Can Aavenir prevent unwanted auto renewals? It makes sure someone decides in time. Each notice date has an owner, reminders run before the window closes, and overdue decisions escalate. Sending the notice and choosing to renew or exit remain business decisions, recorded on the contract. [See Contractflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/enterprise-contract-management-software/).
