What is ClauseCheck?
ClauseCheck is a single-clause analyzer from TermsHuman. Paste one contract clause and get a plain-language summary, risk flags, and questions to ask your counsel.
How is this different from the main TermsHuman analyzer?
The TermsHuman homepage analyzer is tuned for whole documents (terms of service, privacy policies, full contracts). ClauseCheck is tuned for one clause at a time, with output focused on structural identification, asymmetries, and counsel-ready questions.
What clause types are supported?
Termination, indemnification, non-compete, IP assignment, auto-renewal, governing law, equity vesting, and any other. If you do not know the clause type, leave the dropdown set to auto-detect.
Is this legal advice?
No. ClauseCheck is informational and does NOT constitute legal advice. Always have material clauses reviewed by a qualified attorney before signing. The tool will never tell you whether a clause is fair, unfair, enforceable, or whether you should sign.
Is it free?
Yes. ClauseCheck is a free feature of TermsHuman. Usage limits may apply to keep the service reliable.
Is my text stored?
