Question 1

Is this AI contract simplifier really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free with no signup, no account, and no usage limits beyond a fair-use rate limit to prevent abuse. Most competing tools charge $20 to $30 per month or require a free trial account before showing full results. This tool works instantly by pasting your text — no registration wall.

Question 2

Is my contract text stored or shared with anyone?

Accepted Answer

No. Your document text is sent securely to our AI processing service for analysis and is not saved to any database or shared with third parties. Once you close the page or refresh, the text and analysis are gone. If you want to keep the result, use the copy or download button before navigating away.

Question 3

Can this replace a lawyer reviewing my contract?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool is designed to help you understand what a contract says in plain language and flag clauses worth paying attention to. It does not provide legal advice, cannot account for your specific jurisdiction's laws, and cannot negotiate on your behalf. For any contract with significant financial or legal consequences — employment agreements, business partnerships, property purchases, major NDAs — always have a qualified attorney review the final document before signing.

Question 4

What types of documents can I analyze?

Accepted Answer

Any text-based legal agreement works well: freelance and contractor agreements, residential and commercial leases, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), employment contracts, terms of service and privacy policies, vendor and supplier agreements, software licensing agreements, and website or app terms of use. The tool works from pasted text rather than file upload, so you may need to copy text out of a PDF or Word document first.

Question 5

What clause types does the red flag scanner check for?

Accepted Answer

The scanner specifically looks for ten clause types that carry the highest financial or legal risk for the person signing: indemnification clauses, mandatory arbitration clauses, non-compete clauses, automatic renewal clauses, unilateral modification rights, liability limitation clauses, intellectual property assignment clauses, exclusivity clauses, personal guarantee clauses, and unusually long confidentiality terms. Each flagged clause is explained in plain English along with a Low, Medium or High risk rating.

Question 6

Why does the AI sometimes miss something in my contract?

Accepted Answer

AI-based contract analysis, including this tool, works by pattern recognition across the text you provide. It can occasionally miss clauses that are worded unusually, split across multiple sections, or written in dense legal language that obscures their true meaning. This is exactly why the tool is positioned as a starting point for understanding your contract, not a replacement for careful reading or professional legal review — especially for high-stakes agreements.

Question 7

Can I analyze a contract in a language other than English?

Accepted Answer

The tool is optimized for English-language contracts and will produce the most reliable results with English input. While the underlying AI model can process other languages to some degree, accuracy for legal nuance is significantly lower outside English. For non-English contracts, we recommend consulting a bilingual attorney familiar with the relevant jurisdiction.

Question 8

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT to explain my contract?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely paste a contract into a general AI chatbot and ask for an explanation — many people already do this. What this tool adds is structure: a purpose-built red-flag scanner checking for ten specific high-risk clause categories, a dedicated clause-by-clause breakdown mode, and a plain-English rewrite mode — without needing to write your own prompts each time. It is also free with no message limits tied to a broader chat subscription.
