Risk Score
7/10
This freelance agreement heavily favors the client with broad IP assignment, unlimited revision clauses, and a weak termination provision.
Red Flags
high
Unlimited free revisions with no scope definition
high
18-month non-compete covers all 'related industries'
medium
Net-60 payment terms — industry standard is Net-30
Recommendations
→ Consider asking to cap revisions at a defined number of rounds with scope per round
→ Consider asking to narrow the non-compete in duration and industry scope (an attorney can advise on enforceability in your state)

The traps hiding in your contract
Six things BeforeSigning catches that most people miss.
Broad Non-Competes
Long-duration, broad-industry non-competes vary enormously in enforceability by state. We surface them so you can discuss with a licensed attorney before signing.
Broad IP Assignment
Some contracts assign ownership of work beyond the scope. We surface overly broad IP clauses for your attorney to review.
Auto-Renewal Provisions
Leases and service contracts often auto-renew with short cancellation windows. We flag the renewal mechanics so you can plan ahead.
Slow Payment Terms
Long net terms can affect cash flow. We flag the payment structure so you can decide what to discuss with the other party.
Indemnification Clauses
One-sided indemnification language can shift significant risk. We explain what it appears to do in plain English so you can ask the right questions.
Early user feedback
What users are saying
BeforeSigning is new — these are notes from our first users. Real customer reviews will replace this block once we have three or more.
“Client sent over a 14-page contract. BeforeSigning surfaced a long non-compete I would've skimmed past, and gave me draft talking points to adapt for the conversation. I rewrote them in my own voice. Useful starting point — for anything truly binding I'd still talk to a lawyer.”
Jake R.
Freelance designer
“We were about to sign a vendor agreement. BeforeSigning surfaced an auto-renewal mechanic and an indemnity clause we wanted to discuss with our attorney before signing. Useful as a plain-English summary that primed the conversation. Individual experience; your situation will vary.”
Amanda S.
Small business owner
“I was about to sign a lease with a fee structure I hadn't focused on. BeforeSigning surfaced it in plain English so I had a question to bring to the landlord. Useful research input — informational only, not legal advice.”

Frequently asked questions
Everything you might be wondering before paying.
How does BeforeSigning work?
Paste the contract. Our AI reads every clause, surfaces the unusual ones, scores the overall risk profile from 1 to 10, and drafts talking points you can adapt for a conversation with the other party. About 30 seconds. Informational only — not legal advice.
Is BeforeSigning legal advice or a substitute for a lawyer?
No. BeforeSigning is not a law firm. Using it does not create an attorney-client relationship and the output is not legal advice. It's an educational summary of the text you submitted. For anything with meaningful financial, real-estate, employment, or regulatory exposure, consult a licensed attorney in your state before signing.
What types of contracts can it review?
Freelance agreements, employment contracts, NDAs, leases (residential or commercial), vendor agreements, SaaS terms, purchase agreements, partnership docs. Basically anything with clauses and signature lines. English only for now.
Is my contract data kept private?
Your contract goes to our AI provider for the scan and then it's gone. We don't store it, we don't sell it, we don't have a database with your name on it.
Can I upload a PDF contract?
Yep. PDF, Word, plain text, or a photo of the paper contract. Drag and drop. 10MB cap.
How accurate is the analysis?
AI can make mistakes — sometimes confidently. The summary may misinterpret clauses, miss state-specific nuance, or misapply general patterns to your contract. Use it as a starting point for a conversation with a licensed attorney, not as a definitive read on enforceability. We use hedged language on purpose; we don't tell you a clause is illegal, unenforceable, or that you must or must not sign.
What if the summary gets a clause wrong?
You are responsible for verifying every specific (clause references, paraphrased language, suggested edits) against the source contract and with a licensed attorney before raising anything in negotiation or signing. We're not liable for decisions you make based on inaccurate output. If the analysis itself won't run, our refund policy covers that.
How much does it cost?
$9.99. One contract, one payment. No account, no subscription, no upsell.
