Drop in a lease, offer letter, NDA or client agreement. Clausewise points out the costly clauses, the one-sided terms, and exactly what to ask for, in language you don't need a law degree to follow.

Here's what a finding looks like
High risk
Lease quietly renews for a full year
“This Lease shall automatically renew for successive twelve-month terms unless Tenant delivers written notice of non-renewal no fewer than ninety (90) days before the end of the then-current term.”
What it means: Miss a written notice three months before move-out and you're on the hook for another 12 months of rent.
Ask for: Month-to-month after the first term, or a 30-day notice window.
Private by design
Your document is analyzed in memory and thrown away. We keep no copy.
Done in seconds
A full read-through finishes before you would get past the first page.
Honest about limits
We help you understand and prepare. A lawyer still makes the final call.
What we catch
Every kind of contract hides something different
Clausewise is tuned to the traps that show up again and again in everyday agreements.
Stacked lease fees
Admin, amenity and utility charges buried below the rent line.
Sweeping non-competes
Restrictions broad enough to keep you out of your own field.
Grabs on your side projects
IP clauses that reach work you do on your own time.
One-sided NDAs
Confidentiality duties that only ever flow in one direction.
Forced arbitration
Waivers that give up your day in court or a class action.
Costly exits
Bonus claw-backs, break fees and full-term rent penalties.
Deposit loopholes
Deduction rules vague enough to keep your money no matter what.
Endless scope
Unlimited revisions, late payment terms and open-ended liability.

FAQ
Questions people ask first
Which documents can I check?+
Leases, offer letters and employment agreements, NDAs, freelance and client contracts, memberships, purchase agreements and most other everyday contracts written in English.
Does this replace a lawyer?+
No. Clausewise helps you understand what you are agreeing to and prepare questions. For high-stakes or binding decisions, a licensed attorney in your area should review the document.
How is the grade calculated?+
The grade reflects how many issues we find, how serious they are, and how far the terms drift from what is typical for that kind of agreement. A is balanced and standard; F is heavily one-sided.
What happens to my document?+
The text is sent to our analysis service, processed, and discarded. We do not store it or use it to train models.
What is the difference between a quick scan and a full report?+
A quick scan shows the grade, risk score and the three most serious red flags. The full report lists every issue we find and adds a step-by-step negotiation plan.
Thirty seconds now. Fewer regrets later.
Run your contract through a quick scan before the pen hits the paper. No sign-up required.
