Frequently Asked Questions

ClauseGuard uses Anthropic's Claude AI, trained on extensive legal knowledge, to identify risky clauses. It reliably catches common red flags like overbroad non-competes, unfair IP assignments, and one-sided termination clauses. However, ClauseGuard is not a substitute for legal advice — it's a first-pass tool that helps you know which clauses to question before consulting a lawyer.

Yes. Your contract text is sent to the AI for analysis and never stored on our servers after the analysis is complete. We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. Your analysis results are stored securely in your account so you can access your history, and you can delete your data at any time.

No. ClauseGuard is an AI-powered analysis tool for informational purposes only. It helps you identify potential issues and gives you negotiation language, but it is not legal advice. For complex or high-stakes contracts, always consult a qualified attorney. Think of ClauseGuard as your first line of defense — it catches the obvious problems so you can have a more informed conversation with your lawyer.

A lawyer typically charges $200–500 per hour for contract review. ClauseGuard's Starter plan is $29/month for 10 analyses — that's under $3 per contract review. Even a single flagged clause that saves you from a bad deal pays for a year's subscription.

ClauseGuard supports PDF, DOCX, and TXT file uploads. You can also paste contract text directly into the analysis box. Files up to 10 MB are supported. Legacy .doc files are not supported — please save as .docx first.

ClauseGuard currently works best with English-language contracts. The AI can process contracts in other languages, but the analysis quality and negotiation suggestions may be less accurate. We recommend English contracts for the most reliable results.

Yes! You can try a demo analysis with a sample contract right on our homepage — no account needed. When you sign up, your free plan includes analyses each month so you can test it with your own contracts before upgrading.

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your billing portal — no cancellation fees, no questions asked. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period.

ClauseGuard works with any type of contract: freelance agreements, NDAs, service agreements, employment contracts, SaaS terms, vendor agreements, lease agreements, and more. It's especially popular with freelancers reviewing client contracts, NDAs, and service agreements.

ClauseGuard is purpose-built for contract analysis. Unlike ChatGPT, it returns structured risk scores, identifies specific clause types, and provides copy-pasteable negotiation language tailored to each flagged issue. Your contracts are never used for AI training, and results are saved to your secure account for future reference. ChatGPT gives general answers — ClauseGuard gives actionable contract intelligence.
