Freelance contract checker · India
Is your freelance contract actually fair?
Paste your freelance or service contract and get a fairness score, the key terms in plain English, the 🚩 red flags (long payment terms, unlimited liability, IP grabs, scope creep), and the questions to ask the client — before you sign.
🔒 We don't store it, and we auto-remove emails, phones, PAN & Aadhaar before sending to Google's AI (which may still use content to improve its services). Redact names too if sensitive.
This is an AI explainer to help you understand your document faster — not legal advice. Verify important clauses with a lawyer before signing.
What FinePrint checks in a freelance contract
Freelance and service contracts often shift all the risk onto the freelancer: net-90 payment terms, payment tied to subjective "approval", unlimited liability, termination without a kill fee, IP grabs that include your own tools, and open-ended scope with unlimited revisions. FinePrint reads the whole contract and flags these in seconds.
We also check a rent agreement, an offer letter, a loan agreement, or an insurance policy.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this freelance contract checker free?
- Yes — completely free, no login. Paste your contract or upload a photo/PDF and get the analysis in seconds.
- What payment terms should a freelancer watch out for?
- Long payment cycles (net-60/90+), no advance or milestone payments, payment conditioned on subjective 'client satisfaction', and no late-payment interest are all red flags. Aim for an advance, clear milestones, and a defined payment window.
- Should I agree to unlimited liability?
- No. Unlimited liability or a broad indemnity clause can expose you to far more than you're being paid. A fair contract caps your liability — often at the total fees paid. It's one of the most important clauses to check.
- What does it check in a freelance contract?
- Payment terms, termination-for-convenience and kill fees, liability/indemnity caps, IP ownership (including pre-existing IP and portfolio rights), scope creep and revisions, non-compete/exclusivity, confidentiality scope, and jurisdiction.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It's an AI explainer to help you understand your contract faster — not legal advice. Verify anything significant with a lawyer.
