What We Catch

The Clauses That Cost
Freelancers Most

Our AI flags the contract terms lawyers worry about — so you can negotiate before signing.

⚠️
Unlimited Liability
"Contractor liable for all direct, indirect and consequential damages..."
One project mistake could bankrupt you. This clause removes all financial protection.
🔒
IP Ownership Traps
"All work product including pre-existing materials shall be property of Client..."
They own your portfolio pieces, tools, and past work too. Forever.
💰
Payment Traps
"Net-90 upon Client's written satisfaction with final deliverables..."
3 months minimum wait. If they're "not satisfied"? Zero payment. Legally.
🚫
Non-Compete Overreach
"Contractor shall not work for any company in a similar industry..."
Vague enough to block you from working with 80% of your future clients.
🔄
Scope Creep Clauses
"Unlimited revisions until Client is satisfied with the deliverable..."
You work forever. No extra pay. No way out.
✂️
One-Sided Termination
"Client may terminate at will. No compensation for work in progress..."
They cancel Monday. You lose 3 weeks of work and get nothing.

What We Find In Real Contracts

We Analyzed Real Freelance
Contracts. Here's What's Hiding.

These are actual clause patterns we found in standard freelance agreements. They look normal. They're not.

💸 UNLIMITED LIABILITY
"Contractor shall be liable for all direct, indirect, incidental and consequential damages..."
What it means: One mistake on a $5,000 project could make you liable for $500,000 in "consequential damages." This clause has no cap.
✓ ClauseDefender flags this and suggests a liability cap negotiation.
⏳ PAYMENT TRAP
"Payment due Net-90 upon Client's written satisfaction with final deliverables..."
What it means: 3 months before you see any money. And if the client is never "satisfied"? The contract gives them legal cover to pay nothing.
✓ ClauseDefender flags the subjective approval condition and Net-90 delay.
🔒 IP OWNERSHIP TRAP
"All work product including pre-existing materials shall be sole property of Client upon any payment..."
What it means: They own your portfolio pieces, your reusable code, your tools — anything you "used" on the project. Even if you built it years before.
✓ ClauseDefender flags "pre-existing materials" as high risk and suggests a carve-out.
