Features
ClearTerm reads a contract from the freelancer’s side, scores it across four areas, explains each risk in plain English, and gives you wording to negotiate with. Here is what it does in detail.
What does ClearTerm do for freelancers?
ClearTerm analyses the clauses in a contract, assigns a safety score out of 100 across payment, IP, liability and termination, explains each risk in plain English, and suggests wording you can use to negotiate.
Core Features
Shield Mode
Upload a single contract and get an instant safety score. Our AI scans every clause to identify risks that could cost you money.
- Comprehensive risk analysis
- Safety score (0-100)
- Risk severity classification
- Plain-English explanations
Diff Mode
Compare two contract versions side-by-side. See exactly what changed and whether those edits increase or reduce your risk.
- Side-by-side comparison
- Change annotations
- Risk impact assessment
- Version tracking
AI analysis, from your side
Powered by Google Gemini, with a prompt that reads the contract as the contractor rather than the client. Long contracts are split into overlapping sections and merged, so nothing is silently truncated.
- Reviews payment, IP, liability and termination
- Identifies the contract type
- Quotes the clause behind each finding
- Retries failed sections rather than dropping them
PDF support
Upload a contract as a PDF and ClearTerm extracts the text server-side. Up to 4 MB and 300 pages. Those limits apply to the file. The analysis itself reads up to 100,000 characters of extracted text on the free plan — roughly 30-40 pages of contract prose — and 1 million characters on Pro. A longer document is rejected rather than silently truncated, so you are never shown an analysis of part of a contract.
- Multi-page PDFs
- Up to 4 MB
- About 100,000 characters of text on Free (1 million characters on Pro)
- Needs selectable text — scanned or photographed contracts will not work
- Files are parsed in memory, not stored
Analysis Capabilities
Risk Scoring
Get a comprehensive safety score (0-100) that reflects the overall risk level of your contract across payment, IP, liability, and termination.
Risk Detection
Identifies problematic clauses including predatory payment terms, IP theft risks, hidden liability traps, and unfair termination clauses.
Plain-English Explanations
No legal jargon. Every risk is explained in clear, understandable language so you know exactly what each clause means.
Negotiation snippets
Every risk comes with a ready-to-copy line you can paste into an email, on every plan. Pro adds a composed email covering the whole contract with a choice of tone.
Privacy-First Approach
ClearTerm does not intentionally store raw PDFs in its own database or file storage. Contract content is still sent to Gemini to generate the analysis, and third-party logging or retention follows Google's current API terms and project settings.
