Spot the traps in your contracts.
ClauseCheck scans SOWs, MSAs, and NDAs and flags the clauses that actually screw freelancers — in plain English, with redlines you can paste back.
How it works
From contract to risk report in seconds — no signup required to try.
Paste or upload
Drop in your contract text, or upload a PDF / DOCX — parsed right in your browser. Nothing hits our servers until you scan.
AI scans in seconds
ClauseCheck reads every clause and flags risks like uncapped liability, broad IP grabs, auto-renewal traps, and missing protections.
Get plain-English fixes
Each flagged clause comes with a plain-English explanation and a suggested replacement you can paste straight into your reply.
Send the email (Pro)
One click drafts a professional negotiation email to your client — referencing every flagged clause with your proposed fixes already written in.
Download redlined .docx (Pro)
Upload a Word contract, get it back with every suggested redline applied as a tracked change. Forward it to your client and they can accept/reject each edit in Word.
Ask follow-up questions (Pro)
Chat with ClauseCheck about your scan results. Ask "Why does clause 7 matter?" or "What's fair for this kill fee?" and get contextual answers.
Compare contract versions
Client sent a revised contract? Upload both versions to see exactly what changed. Spot hidden kill fees, liability increases, and IP grabs before you sign.
Your contracts stay private
ClauseCheck was designed from day one for sensitive legal documents.
PDFs and DOCXs are parsed entirely in your browser. The raw file is never uploaded — only extracted text goes to our API.
After scanning, we log clause categories for billing — never the contract content itself. Nothing is retained after the request.
Your contracts are never used to train or improve any model. Every scan is a stateless, one-shot API call.

What it catches
15 clause categories tuned for freelancers — each one with a plain-English explanation.
Most scanners flag what's there. We also flag what's missing — no kill fee, no liability cap, no IP carveout.
Uncapped indemnification can exceed the contract value. We suggest a redline to cap at fees paid.
Broad IP clauses hand over your pre-existing work. We flag missing carveouts.
Overly broad non-competes can block you from your industry. We measure scope against your role.
Contract quietly rolls to another term if you miss the notice window. We surface the window.
Late cancellation fees should reflect actual damages. We check if yours is punitive.
What freelancers say
“A new client sent me an MSA with unlimited liability buried in section 12. ClauseCheck flagged it in seconds with a redline I copy-pasted straight back.”
“I've been burned by an auto-renewal clause before — locked in for a full extra year. Now I run every contract through ClauseCheck before I even read it.”
“The IP carveout explanation alone is worth the Pro subscription. Without that redline I'd have signed my own tools over twice already.”
