Frequently Asked Questions

What does this contract summariser do?

The free tier scans your contract text for key legal terms such as termination, liability, indemnity, non-compete and payment terms. It counts occurrences, estimates reading time and highlights areas that may need attention. The Pro tier uses AI to generate a plain English summary with risk ratings.

Is my contract data stored or shared?

No. The free analysis runs entirely in your browser. Your contract text is never sent to any server. The Pro AI summary sends the text to a secure API for processing by Amazon Bedrock but it is not stored, logged or used for training. We recommend redacting sensitive details before pasting.

Can this tool replace a solicitor?

No. This tool is designed to help you understand the key terms in a contract and identify potential issues. It is not legal advice. For important contracts, you should always seek professional legal review. The AI summary is a starting point for discussion with your solicitor, not a replacement.

What types of contracts work best?

This tool works well with employment contracts, service agreements, NDAs, commercial leases, supply agreements and freelance contracts. It analyses English-language contracts and looks for common legal terms. Highly specialised contracts (e.g. derivatives, shipping charters) may contain domain-specific language not fully covered.

What are the most important clauses to look for in a contract?

The most critical clauses are: termination (how to exit), liability caps (maximum financial exposure), indemnity (who pays for losses), payment terms (when you get paid), notice periods (advance warning requirements) and non-compete restrictions (limits on future work). These define your key obligations and risks.

What does the AI summary include?

The Pro AI summary provides: a plain English explanation of key obligations for each party, payment terms and amounts, termination conditions, red flags and unusual clauses, an overall risk rating, and specific recommendations based on your role (supplier, buyer or employee).

How long should a contract review take?

A thorough manual review of a standard 10-page contract takes 30-60 minutes for a legal professional. Our tool reduces initial screening to seconds for the free analysis and 1-2 minutes for the AI summary. This helps you prioritise which clauses need closer attention or professional review.

What is a force majeure clause?

Force majeure clauses excuse one or both parties from performing their obligations when extraordinary events occur (war, natural disasters, pandemics). Since COVID-19, these clauses have become more prominent and detailed. Check whether your contract includes one and what events it specifically covers.

What is an indemnity clause and why does it matter?

An indemnity clause requires one party to compensate the other for specific losses. Unlike liability caps, indemnities can create unlimited exposure. They are particularly important in service and supply contracts. Always check whether indemnities are mutual and whether they are capped at a specific amount.

How do I negotiate better contract terms?

Start by identifying the riskiest clauses using this tool. Focus on: capping liability to a reasonable multiple of the contract value, ensuring termination rights are mutual, limiting non-compete scope and duration, securing favourable payment terms, and adding force majeure protections. Always negotiate from a position of understanding.
