Clause

Freelance developers often sign contracts without reading them carefully and clients sometimes include clauses that transfer ownership of pre-existing code, impose perpetual non-competes, or allow payment to be withheld at the client's sole discretion. Clause solves this by scanning any contract text and flagging dangerous clauses in plain English. Paste a contract, and Clause identifies risky language across six categories: IP ownership grabs, non-competes, unlimited liability, hidden payment traps, one-sided termination rights, and moral rights waivers. Each flagged clause includes an explanation of what it means in practice, why it's risky, and a suggested rewrite the freelancer can send back to the client to negotiate fairer terms. No signup required to try it. Built specifically for freelance developers who sign client contracts without legal representation.
