Adobe paper is written by Adobe. The uplift language, the true up mechanics, the co term provisions, and the renewal defaults all sit in the agreement for a reason, and the reason is rarely to your advantage. Most buyers sign because the price looks acceptable and the legal review focused on liability, not on the commercial clauses that quietly cost the most.
The expensive terms are not always obvious. A co term clause can pull every product onto the worst renewal date. An auto renewal default can remove your leverage before you knew you had a window. A true up provision can turn ordinary growth into an unbudgeted bill. None of these read as dangerous in isolation.
A contract review is the cheapest leverage you will ever buy. Catching one bad clause before signature is worth more than the entire engagement, and it is far easier than unwinding it three years later.
