What people are saying
★★★★★
Caught a perpetual IP assignment clause in a consulting agreement I almost signed. The tool flagged it immediately and gave me the exact language to counter-propose. Saved a major negotiation headache.

★★★★★
I run a small agency and review vendor contracts constantly. This gave me a risk score and negotiation checklist in under 30 seconds. I used to pay a paralegal $150/hr for this.

★★★★★
The non-compete clause in my client agreement was rated Critical. I had no idea how broad it was until this broke it down. Renegotiated it down to a reasonable 6-month, same-client restriction.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of contracts can I analyze?+

Any text-based contract: service agreements, NDAs, employment contracts, lease agreements, vendor contracts, freelance agreements, partnership agreements, SaaS terms, licensing agreements, and more. The tool adapts its analysis to the contract type it detects.

How accurate is the AI analysis?+

The analysis is highly effective at identifying standard risk patterns — one-sided liability caps, broad IP assignments, unreasonable termination clauses, and similar issues that appear across most commercial contracts. It's not a substitute for an attorney on high-stakes agreements, but it's an excellent first-pass screen that ensures you go into any review with eyes open.

Is my contract text stored anywhere?+

No. Your contract is analyzed in memory and never written to disk or stored in a database. Nothing you paste is retained after the analysis completes.

What's the minimum contract length for analysis?+

50 words minimum. Most contracts — even short NDAs — are well above this threshold. The more complete the contract text, the more thorough the clause-level analysis.
