Inside the report

A short, useful report you can act on

The goal is not to overwhelm you with legal theory. The report is built for quick decisions before you send comments back to a client.

1

Risk Score

A fast read on how aggressive the draft is, so you know whether this is a routine clean-up or a real negotiation.

2

Plain-English Summary

The report translates dense legal wording into practical impact: payment timing, ownership, termination, and liability.

3

Clauses To Negotiate

You get the exact red flags to raise with a client before scope creep, payment delays, or IP issues turn expensive.

Why freelancers use it

Better leverage before the work starts.

  • Catch vague acceptance terms that let a client delay payment.
  • See when IP language grabs more than the final deliverable.
  • Spot cancellation rules and liability terms that shift all risk onto you.
  • Walk into negotiation with a cleaner checklist, not guesses.

Best before signing

Upload the draft and get your report in minutes.

Works best for client-facing agreements where a freelancer needs a fast read on what is fair, what is risky, and what should be rewritten.
