18 contract types

Find your contract, see what we check

Every type has its own checklist of clauses examined and its own list of the terms that most often cause problems. Pick yours to see both before you upload anything.

Work and employment

Contracts that decide what happens when you leave a job.

Freelance and consulting

Client paper, and the terms that decide whether you get paid.

Business and vendors

Agreements a small business signs with suppliers, partners and platforms.

Personal and property

The documents people sign on their own behalf.

How to pick the right review

The contract type matters because the checklist changes with it. An employment agreement is read for what happens when you leave — notice, clawbacks, vesting, restrictions. A SaaS agreement is read for what happens when you want out — auto-renewal windows, uncapped price rises, whether you can get your data back. Running the wrong checklist over a document finds generic problems and misses the specific ones.

If a document could fit two types

Pick the one that describes the relationship, not the document's title. A "consulting agreement" that pays you monthly to work for one client is closer to an employment contract in what it should be checked for. A "services agreement" that governs years of future work orders is a master services agreement. The title on page one is whatever the drafter's template said.

What every review covers, whatever the type

  • The money. What you receive, when, and what you might have to repay.
  • The exit. Notice on each side, termination rights, and what happens to work already done and money already paid.
  • What survives. Restrictions that outlive the agreement, and how far they reach in time, geography and activity.
  • The worst number. The largest amount you could be required to pay — uncapped indemnity, liquidated damages, a personal guarantee.
  • What is missing. Standard protections for that contract type that the document does not contain. Absent clauses are filled by the default legal rule, which rarely favours the party who did not draft it.
  • The dates. Every deadline that costs something if missed.

Jurisdiction changes the answer more than people expect

The same clause can be routine in one state and void in another. A worldwide 24-month non-compete is aggressive anywhere and unenforceable for nearly all employees under California law, and several other states set compensation thresholds below which such clauses do not bind at all. Every review reads the governing-law clause first and applies the test that actually governs the document, rather than giving one global answer.

What you get back

A calibrated risk score with a verdict, each finding quoting the contract verbatim with its line number, a comparison against what is customary for that contract type, replacement wording you can paste into a redline, the deadlines to calendar, the protections that are missing, and a negotiation playbook ordered by priority with a fallback for each ask. Plus unlimited questions on that document, and a PDF you can send to an attorney.

The complete sample report is published in full, including the contract it analyzed, so none of that has to be taken on trust.

Questions before you upload

Which contract type should I choose?

Pick the one that describes the relationship, not the title on page one. A consulting agreement that pays you monthly to work for a single client is read like an employment contract; a services agreement governing years of future work orders is a master services agreement. The checklist follows the relationship, not the filename.

What if my contract type is not listed?

Upload it anyway. The review adapts to whatever the document is - the listed types are the ones with a published checklist, not the limit of what it reads.

Does the review depend on which state or country I am in?

Yes, and more than people expect. The same clause can be routine in one state and void in another - a worldwide non-compete is unenforceable for nearly all employees under California law, and several states set compensation thresholds below which such clauses do not bind. Every review reads the governing-law clause first.

What do I actually get back?

A calibrated risk score and verdict, each finding quoting the contract verbatim with its line number, a comparison against what is customary for that contract type, replacement wording you can paste into a redline, the deadlines to calendar, the protections that are missing, and a negotiation playbook with a fallback for each ask.

Do I need an account?

No. Upload, pay once, and the report opens immediately. The link is your access - keep it, and it also works from the same browser without it.

Your contract type is not listed?

Upload it anyway. The review adapts to whatever the document is — the listed types are the ones with a dedicated published checklist, not the limit of what it reads.
