Know what you are signing — before you sign it.

Agreement review for small businesses and contractors. Clause surfaces what the text states, what it implies, and what it leaves open — so you can decide with clear eyes, and with your counsel when it matters.

Clause review

Findings in context

  • Stated

    You must pay within 30 days of the invoice

  • Inferred

    The client probably owns the work once it is delivered

  • Uncertain

    You may have to cover costs even when you were not at fault

  • Open · lawyers may disagree

    How much notice is needed to end the deal is not spelled out

Illustrative demo — not a determination on any real agreement.

Built for operators

For small businesses and contractors who live in agreements — services, NDAs, SOWs, and the paper that keeps the work moving.

Clause is a transparency tool, not a scorecard and not a substitute for a lawyer. It is designed to make the document legible — then get out of the way.

  1. 01

    Review

    Plain-English findings for what the agreement states, implies, leaves uncertain, or omits — for operators who sign, not only for counsel.

  2. 02

    Highlights

    Every finding maps back to the source language in the document, so you can verify the text yourself before you escalate.

  3. 03

    Preferences

    Capture non-negotiables and risk tolerance by contract type. Preferences guide attention; they never hide the fine print.

  4. 04

    Create

    Draft and revise contractor-ready agreements with the same transparent lens you use when reviewing someone else’s paper.

Three steps to a legible agreement.

  1. 01

    Open the agreement

    Paste text, upload a PDF, or review from the Chrome extension while you are already on the page.

  2. 02

    Read findings in context

    Stated, inferred, and open points appear beside the source language — highlights in the document, not a fear score.

  3. 03

    Decide with clear eyes

    Use preferences to elevate what matters to your business. Escalate to counsel when the paper warrants it.

Clause review

Findings in context

  • Stated

    You must pay within 30 days of the invoice

    The agreement says payment is due thirty days after a proper invoice. It does not offer a shorter timeline or a discount for paying early.

  • Inferred

    The client probably owns the work once it is delivered

    The wording about “work made for hire” and handing over all rights usually means the client owns what you make — even if you keep your own tools.

  • Uncertain

    You may have to cover costs even when you were not at fault

    The promise to cover the client’s losses is very wide. It is not spelled out whether that includes problems the client caused — so the reach is hard to tell from the words alone.

  • Open · lawyers may disagree

    How much notice is needed to end the deal is not spelled out

    Either side can end the deal “for any reason” with “reasonable notice,” but the paper never says how many days that is. Lawyers may disagree — ask before you count on a short (or long) exit.

Illustrative demo — not a determination on any real agreement.

Built for the desk, not the scare reel

“We needed something that shows what the contract actually says — without pretending to be our lawyer.”
