↑ a live excerpt — every red mark is something to look at before signing
§ 1 · Exhibit A
No contract handy? Open a finished one.
A real, fully marked-up review of a three-party collaboration agreement — summary, key terms, risk flags, and redlines.
§ 2 · The markup
What the red pen catches
- § 1.1Plain-English summary
- Dense, defensive clauses rewritten in language you can actually read — the gist of the whole agreement in a paragraph.
- § 1.2Risk flags, rated
- Every clause that could cost you, marked high / medium / low — each with the specific reason it matters to your side.
- § 1.3Key terms, lifted out
- Parties, dates, payment, renewal, and governing law pulled from the fine print into one place you can scan.
- § 1.4Redlines & leverage
- Suggested edits with before/after language, plus fallback positions — so you walk into the negotiation prepared.
§ 3 · The procedure
How a review happens
- (i)
Hand it over
Drop in any contract — PDF, Word, text, or a photo of a page. It’s read in memory and never stored.
- (ii)
Watch it get marked up
Risk flags, plain-English margin notes, and suggested redlines appear in under a minute.
- (iii)
Take it to the table
Export the marked-up review as a PDF and negotiate straight from it.
§ 4 · On the merits
A first read, before you spend on a lawyer
Not a replacement for counsel — but the fastest way to know whether you even need one.
| Clauz | A lawyer | Reading it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | $250–600 / contract | $0, but risky |
| Turnaround | Under a minute | Days to weeks | Hours of reading |
| Reads like | Plain English | Legal jargon | A foreign language |
| Catches risk | Flags it for you | Only if you ask | Easy to miss |
| You walk away | Knowing the terms | Confident, eventually | Hoping for the best |

§ 6 · Questions
Before you ask
No. The file is read in memory to produce the review and discarded the moment it’s done. There’s no account, no history, and no server-side storage.
No. Your contract is sent only to the analysis model to generate the review and is never used for training. The result lives in your browser session and is gone when you close the tab.
No. Clauz is not a law firm and using it doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship. It’s a tool to help you understand an agreement. For high-stakes or contentious contracts, have a qualified attorney review it.
Any commercial agreement — NDAs, master service agreements, employment, vendor, SaaS, leases. Upload a PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, or an image (JPG/PNG/WEBP); scanned pages and photos are read with vision.
It uses a current language model with strict structured output, so reviews are consistent and well-organized. Treat it as a strong first read and preparation — not a final legal opinion.
