Sample output

what you receive.

Real analysis of a real independent contractor agreement. Click any flag to expand.

This contract heavily favors the Client. Three clauses require negotiation before signing. The IP ownership clause and uncapped indemnification are significant risks. The scope of services is dangerously undefined — giving the client unlimited leverage after you sign.

RISK FLAGS — 5 FOUND

Everything you create belongs to themClause 19 — IP Ownership

"All intellectual property...developed or produced under this Agreement is a work made for hire and will be the sole property of the Client." This includes your methods, tools, and creative processes — not just the final deliverable. They own it all, forever.

→ Negotiate: Add "excluding Contractor's pre-existing IP, general tools, and frameworks developed independently of this Agreement."

You can be sued for unlimited damagesClause 29 — Indemnification

No cap on liability. If anything goes wrong the client can pursue "any and all claims, losses, damages" with no ceiling. This is the most dangerous clause in this contract.

→ Negotiate: Add "Contractor's total liability shall not exceed the total fees paid under this Agreement in the preceding 3 months."

Services are completely undefinedClause 1 — Scope of Work

The services section contains no description of what you're hired to do. You are legally agreeing to deliver something with zero definition — giving the client unlimited power to expand scope after signing.

→ Do not sign until services are described in specific, measurable terms in a separate Statement of Work.

Fired with 14 days notice, no kill feeClause 4 — Termination

Client can terminate with 14 days notice and owes you nothing for work in progress beyond what's already invoiced.

→ Negotiate: "On early termination, all work completed to date is billable at pro-rata daily rate, payable within 14 days."

Disputes in Alabama — not your stateClause 37 — Governing Law

Any dispute is resolved under Alabama law. If you're not in Alabama, resolving any issue means hiring an Alabama attorney or travelling there.

→ Negotiate: Change to your home state, or "jurisdiction to be mutually agreed in writing at time of dispute."

FAQ

Questions.

Is this legal advice?+

No. ContractVerdict identifies risk patterns for informational purposes only. It is not a law firm. For complex situations consult a licensed attorney.

What types of contracts can I upload?+

Independent contractor agreements, NDAs, job offer letters, freelance services agreements, consulting agreements, SaaS terms, and most standard US business agreements in English.

Do you store my contract?+

Never. Your contract is processed in memory and immediately discarded. We have no database of your documents and never will.

How accurate is the analysis?+

Our analysis reliably catches the risk patterns behind 90% of freelance contract disputes — IP ownership, liability exposure, undefined scope, unfair termination, and jurisdiction issues.

Why $19 and not free?+

Free tools give vague output you can't act on. $19 means we've built something precise enough to be worth paying for. Compare to the alternative: $300/hr for a lawyer, or signing blind.
