7 red flags detected
Protect your business in three steps
We simplify complex legal jargon into actionable insights that protect your interests.
Paste or upload your contract
Copy-paste the text your client sent, or upload a PDF/DOCX. Works with Upwork contracts, agency agreements, NDAs, and client service agreements.
AI scans for freelancer-specific traps
We check 15 categories that matter most to freelancers: IP ownership, payment terms, revision limits, kill fees, non-competes, jurisdiction, and more.
Know exactly what to negotiate
Every red flag comes with a plain-English explanation, the legal risk it creates, and the exact counter-clause language to send back to your client.
Built to protect you
Developed based on real-world contract issues faced by thousands of freelancers.
IP & ownership detection
Spots clauses that transfer your creative work, code, or ideas to the client permanently — even for rejected concepts.
Payment trap alerts
Flags vague payment terms, missing kill fees, and NET-90 payment windows that leave you chasing invoices for months.
Revision & scope creep warnings
Identifies 'unlimited revisions' and open-ended scope language that turns a 2-week project into a 6-month nightmare.
Non-compete analysis
Checks how broad the non-compete is, how long it lasts, and whether it would block you from working in your entire industry.
Jurisdiction check
Tells you which state or country's law governs the contract — and flags if it's far from where you live.
Counter-clause generator
Gives you the exact replacement language to propose for every risky clause. Copy, paste, send.
Simple, transparent pricing
Built for freelancers. Pay only for what you need.
