Contract Checker

Contract checker: know what you're signing

Paste or upload any agreement. Our free contract checker flags risks and translates legalese in plain English.

What a contract checker does

A contract checker reads your agreement and surfaces the parts that matter — risks, gaps, and plain-English explanations.

Flags risks

High, medium, and low risk ratings on vague terms, one-sided liability, payment traps, and more.

Plain English summary

Legal jargon translated so anyone can understand what they're agreeing to.

Missing-clause notes

Identifies protections that should be in your agreement but aren't — like kill fees or dispute resolution.

Follow-up Q&A

Ask questions about your contract after analysis — "What happens if I'm paid late?" — and get instant answers.

Not legal advice. A contract checker is an informational tool, not a substitute for a qualified lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the contract checker really free?

Sign up free and your account starts with free credits and every AI model; after that you pay per use, and the cost is shown before you run anything.

What file types can I upload?

PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), plain text, and photos of paper contracts via OCR.

Is this legal advice?

No. Contract Checked is an informational tool. For important decisions — leases, purchases, large freelance deals — consult a qualified lawyer where you live.

Does it work for contracts from my country?

Yes. The analyzer reads any written agreement, from any jurisdiction. It points out clauses worth checking against local law, but it is not a substitute for local legal advice.
