Sample flag from a real contract
Auto-renewal & termination favors the other party aggressive
major

This contract auto-renews for another full year unless you cancel in writing 90 days before the end date — and only the other party can terminate early without cause.

Worth doing: Set a calendar reminder well before the 90-day window, or ask for a mutual 30-day termination clause.

Typically: Most agreements like this use a 30-day notice window with termination rights for both parties.

What it catches

The clauses that trip people up most

These show up constantly in leases, offer letters, NDAs, and service agreements — and most people sign them without a second read, because reading "legalese" carefully takes time and expertise most of us don't have on hand.

Auto-renewal & silent lock-ins

Contracts that quietly renew unless you catch a narrow cancellation window months in advance. Shows up almost everywhere — leases, memberships, service contracts.

flagged automatically

Deposit & fee traps

Vague deposit-return timelines, stacking late fees, and move-out deduction language that leaves renters guessing what they'll actually get back.

flagged automatically

Non-competes & non-solicits

Restrictions written broadly enough to block a new hire from their next job, or a freelancer from their own client base, long after the relationship ends.

flagged automatically

Payment traps

Buried payment windows or "sole discretion" approval language that leaves freelancers and new hires waiting — or unpaid — with no objective standard to point to.

flagged automatically

Scope & revision traps

Work, maintenance, or revision language with no cap — the single most common source of scope creep for freelancers and homeowners alike.

flagged automatically

Ownership overreach

Clauses that assign rights to more than the deliverable — pre-existing tools, prior work, even ideas — quietly written in as the other side's property.

flagged automatically

One-sided exits

Termination rights or exit fees that run one direction — easy for the other side to walk away, costly for you.

A real breakdown

One clause, decoded end to end

This is what every flagged clause looks like inside ClauseFlag — the original wording, what it means, why it matters to you, and exactly what to ask for.

Original clause · service agreement
"Contractor shall be paid within ninety (90) days of Client's receipt of an undisputed invoice. Client may withhold payment for any deliverable it deems, in its sole discretion, unsatisfactory."
aggressive favors the other party major
Plain-English meaning
You won't be paid until three months after you invoice — and the client can refuse payment entirely if they alone decide the work isn't good enough.
Why it matters
You'd be financing the client's project for a full quarter with no guaranteed payout. "Sole discretion" means there's no objective standard you can point to if they decide to withhold.
Typically
Most service agreements use Net-15 or Net-30, and tie approval to specific written acceptance criteria — not one party's opinion.
Suggested ask
"Could we move payment to Net-30, and tie acceptance to the criteria in the SOW rather than sole discretion? I'm glad to include one revision round if something misses the brief."

FAQ

Before you use it

Is this legal advice?

No. ClauseFlag gives you information about what a contract says and how its terms compare to what's typical — it doesn't tell you whether to sign, and it isn't a substitute for a lawyer, especially on a contract with high stakes or unfamiliar terms.

Will you store my contract?

No. Each document is processed for your analysis and then discarded — there's no server-side database of contracts. PII like account numbers is redacted in your browser before anything is sent.

How accurate is the analysis?

It's AI-generated and can miss things or misread unusual phrasing, particularly in long or heavily customized documents. Treat it as a fast first pass, not a final word — always read the full contract yourself.

What kinds of documents does this work on?

Leases, NDAs, service and independent-contractor agreements, offer letters, terms of service — most plain-text contracts. The checklists and market-norm comparisons adjust to the document type you're reviewing.

My lease or job offer is state-specific — can this tell me my rights?

No, and it won't pretend to. Tenant and employment law varies by state and country. ClauseFlag shows you what the document says and what's unusual about it — questions about what the law actually permits go to a tenant resource, your labor department, or an attorney.

I already signed it — is it too late?

Most of the value is before you sign, but notice windows, renewal dates, and ongoing obligations still matter after. It's worth $1.99 even a few months in.

What if my contract needs a real lawyer?

Some contracts are worth paying for professional review — high dollar value, unfamiliar jurisdiction, or terms you don't understand even after reading the explanation. ClauseFlag helps you figure out which situation you're in.
