Terms of service or platform agreement
Review a platform's terms of service
Platform terms are drafted to be accepted, not read, and the leverage is entirely one-sided. Reading them still matters when your business depends on the platform: the termination rights, the content license and the dispute clause determine what happens on the day your account is suspended.
For creators, sellers and businesses that depend on a platform.
No account needed. You see the price before paying, and the report opens immediately after.

What you get back
Not a summary of what the contract says. A list of what to change, and the wording to change it to.
Risk score and verdict
A calibrated 0–100 score with a one-line verdict. Clean documents score low — the score is only useful if it can say "this is fine".
Findings with the quote
Each issue names the clause, quotes it verbatim, explains the consequence in your contract's own numbers, and says how far it deviates from market standard.
Pasteable redlines
Replacement wording drafted for each issue, ready to send back to the other side.
What's missing
The standard protections for this contract type that your document does not contain.
Deadlines to calendar
Every date and trigger that costs you something if you miss it, with the consequence spelled out.
Negotiation playbook
Your asks in priority order, the reason to give for each, and the fallback position if they refuse.
Questions about terms of service or platform agreements
Are terms of service legally binding?
Generally yes, where they were properly presented and accepted, though specific clauses can be unenforceable - particularly against consumers, where unfair-terms rules apply in many jurisdictions. Being binding does not mean every clause survives challenge.
What content license am I granting to a platform?
Usually a broad one: worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and often surviving account deletion. Read what happens on termination - the difference between a license that ends and one that does not is the whole clause.
Can a platform change its terms whenever it wants?
Most reserve that right. The meaningful protections are notice before changes take effect and a right to stop using the service without penalty. Terms that are effective immediately on posting give you neither.
