  • 02Up to three red flags, each quoting the exact words

Checks for uncapped liability, IP grabs, one-sided termination, non-competes, auto-renewals and more.

The red flags it looks for

These are the clauses that cost freelancers and small businesses the most — and the ones most often buried on page seven.

FLAG 01

Uncapped indemnity & liability

“Any and all claims” with no cap can make you liable for far more than the contract is worth.

FLAG 02

IP ownership grabs

Clauses that hand over everything you create — including tools and work you made before the project.

FLAG 03

One-sided termination

The other side can walk away at any time, often without paying for work already done.

FLAG 04

Auto-renewal traps

Contracts that silently roll over for another year unless you cancel inside a narrow window.

FLAG 05

Over-broad non-competes

Restrictions on who you can work for that are wider, longer or further-reaching than the deal justifies.

FLAG 06

Slow or conditional payment

“Net 90”, “pay-when-paid” and approval-dependent payment terms that put your cash flow at risk.

Risk checker questions

Is the contract risk checker free?
Yes. You can check up to five clauses a day with no account. To review a whole contract, create a free account — it starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card.
How is the risk score calculated?
Lexly AI reads the clause from your side of the deal and weighs the terms that shift risk onto you — uncapped liability, one-sided rights, broad IP transfers, auto-renewals and payment delays. Scores of 0–30 are LOW RISK, 31–70 REVIEW and 71–100 HIGH RISK.
Do you store the text I paste?
No. The clause is analysed and then discarded. It isn't saved to any history and it's never used to train AI.
What red flags does it look for?
Uncapped indemnity and liability, IP ownership grabs, one-sided termination, auto-renewal traps, over-broad non-competes and slow or conditional payment, among others.
Can I check a whole contract?
Yes, with a free account. Upload a PDF or Word file and Contract Sense scores every clause in about 8 seconds, then answers follow-up questions about any of them.
