Frequently Asked Questions

What contract red flags should I look for before signing?

Common contract red flags include unlimited liability clauses, overly broad IP assignment (especially clauses that try to claim your pre-existing work), one-sided termination rights with no notice period, auto-renewal provisions with long cancellation windows, non-compete clauses with unlimited geographic scope, and mandatory arbitration with unfavorable terms. ClauseGuard scans for all of these automatically.

Can AI really review a contract?

AI can identify problematic clauses, explain what they mean in plain English, and suggest standard negotiation language — often faster and more affordably than a lawyer for an initial review. ClauseGuard uses Claude AI to analyze your contract text for the most common and consequential risk patterns. For high-stakes agreements, AI review is an excellent first pass before consulting a licensed attorney.

What types of contracts can ClauseGuard analyze?

ClauseGuard works on any contract written in English, including freelance agreements, employment contracts, NDAs (non-disclosure agreements), service agreements, lease agreements, SaaS terms of service, consulting contracts, vendor agreements, and partnership agreements. Simply paste the contract text or upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file.

Is my contract data kept private?

Contract text you paste is sent to our AI for analysis and is not stored on our servers. We do not retain, sell, or train on your contract content. For highly sensitive agreements, review our privacy policy before use.

How is ClauseGuard different from hiring a lawyer?

ClauseGuard provides an instant, free first-pass risk assessment — ideal for spotting issues quickly before deciding whether a lawyer review is warranted. A lawyer provides legal advice specific to your jurisdiction and situation, which ClauseGuard cannot replace. Think of ClauseGuard as a knowledgeable colleague who reads contracts every day and flags the parts worth a second look.

What does the risk score mean?

The risk score (0–100) reflects how favorable the contract is for you. A score near 100 means the agreement is balanced and low-risk; a score near 0 means it contains several high-risk provisions that could expose you to significant legal or financial harm. The score considers the number, severity, and type of red flags found across the full contract.
