What it does

You shouldn't need a $400/hr lawyer to know if you're getting screwed. ClauseGuard reads the fine print so you don't have to. Upload a contract — freelance agreement, NDA, lease, employment offer, SaaS terms — and get an instant red-flag report. Every risky clause is highlighted with severity, explained in plain English, and paired with safer language you can propose. Built for people who sign contracts, not people who write them. ## What's included - **Three-tier severity flagging** — Critical (don't sign without changes), Warning (negotiate if you can), Safe (standard language); each flag includes the exact quote, the risk, and a proposed rewrite - **Plain-English explanations** — every flagged clause translated like a friend who happens to be a lawyer; no jargon, no defensive disclaimers, just what it actually means for you - **Contract types supported** — freelance / service agreements, NDAs (mutual + one-way), employment offers, SaaS terms, commercial leases, equipment leases, vendor agreements, brand-deal contracts, music licenses, photography releases, distribution agreements, advisor / consultant agreements - **Industry benchmarking (Pro tier)** — your terms vs. industry standards: "45-day payment terms are above market — industry standard is 30 days, negotiate down" - **Clause comparison (Pro tier)** — paste two versions of a contract side-by-side; agent highlights additions, deletions, and shifts in risk allocation - **State-aware enforceability** — non-compete reasonableness varies by state (unenforceable in CA; restricted in OR/WA; broad in TX/FL); agent flags state-specific gotchas - **Risk profile customization** — set Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive; same contract reads differently based on your appetite ## Limitations - **NOT a law firm, NOT a lawyer, NOT legal advice** — educational analysis to help you ask better questions and catch obvious gaps; binding legal decisions need a licensed attorney - **No attorney-client privilege** — anything you paste isn't privileged; high-sensitivity matters go to an actual lawyer - **U.S.-state-law focused** — Canadian + UK + AU + EU contract law adapts but state-specific enforceability is U.S.-tuned - **Not a contract drafter** — analyzes contracts you receive; doesn't draft from scratch (a different category of tool entirely) - **Static rulebook** — case law evolves; rubric may lag recent decisions in specific jurisdictions ## Best fit Freelancers signing client agreements, small business owners reviewing commercial leases, consultants weighing service contracts, creators reviewing brand-deal terms, indie developers evaluating SaaS-vendor contracts, solo professionals receiving employment offers. Especially valuable in the 90% of contracts where you don't need a lawyer but you DO need a sanity check — the ones where $400/hr attorney review isn't worth it but signing blind isn't safe either. At $19/mo Standard ($39/mo Pro), one caught non-compete or one renegotiated payment term per quarter pays for years of subscription.
