Who is this contract risk checker for?
This free tool helps anyone reviewing a contract before signing—no legal background required. It’s built for:
- Freelancers & contractors — NDAs, service agreements, gig and client contracts
- Small business owners — vendor agreements, leases, service terms, MSAs
- Brokers & agents — referral agreements, listing agreements, partnership contracts
- Tenants & landlords — lease agreements, renewal terms, automatic renewal clauses
- Job seekers & employees — employment contracts, non-competes, IP assignment, confidentiality
- Consultants & advisors — consulting agreements, engagement letters, scope of work
- Lawyers & paralegals — quick first-pass review or client triage (not a substitute for legal advice)
Use it to spot common risky clauses and prepare questions for a lawyer. It does not replace professional legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
- Who can use the contract risk checker?
- Freelancers, small business owners, brokers, tenants, job seekers, consultants, and lawyers (for first-pass review) can all use it. No sign-up or legal background required. Paste or upload your contract and get a risk score plus plain-English explanations of detected clauses.
- Can AI analyze contracts?
- This tool uses rule-based detection to find common risky clauses (indemnification, non-compete, automatic renewal, etc.) and explains them in plain English. It is not a substitute for legal advice—use it to spot issues and prepare questions for a lawyer.
- Can I upload a PDF or Word contract?
- Yes. Use “Upload PDF or DOCX” to select a file; the text is extracted in your browser and then analyzed. The file is not sent to our server—only the extracted text is sent for clause detection, and we do not store it.
- Is it safe to paste contracts online?
- We do not store your contract. Text is processed in memory only and is not saved or logged. For highly sensitive documents, paste only the sections you're unsure about.
- What clauses are dangerous in contracts?
- It depends on your situation. Common ones to watch: broad indemnification, automatic renewal without clear opt-out, broad IP assignment, strict non-competes, and arbitration clauses that waive court or class actions. This tool highlights many of these so you can ask to change them.
