Terms of service

These terms are between you and Clause Inc., a Delaware C corporation at 600 Congress Avenue, Suite 1400, Austin, TX 78701. By creating an account or using Clause you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you are allowed to.

We have written these in plain English on purpose. It would be strange to sell contract clarity and then hide behind four thousand words of our own.

Clause is software that reads a contract and explains it. We are not a law firm, we are not your attorney, and using Clause does not create an attorney-client relationship or attach privilege to anything you submit.

Reviews are produced by language models and can be wrong, particularly on judgement about your specific situation. You are responsible for your own decisions about what to sign. For anything with a personal guarantee, anything touching ownership of your company, or anything where the downside is larger than a year of your revenue, get a lawyer.

• You need an account, and the information on it must be accurate.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep the password to yourself.
• One person per seat. The Team plan includes five seats and each is for one named person.
• Tell us promptly if you think someone else is using your account.

Contracts you submit and the reviews produced from them are yours. You grant us only the licence needed to run the service: to process the text, send it to a model provider to produce your review, and store the result for you.

We do not use your contracts to train models, we do not sell them, and we do not share them with anyone other than the model provider producing your review. You can delete any review, or the whole account, at any time.

• Use Clause to break the law, or to review material you have no right to hold.
• Resell or white-label the output as your own review service without a written agreement with us.
• Attempt to extract the prompts or scrape the service in bulk.
• Upload malware, or deliberately try to break the service for other people.

• The free plan includes one contract review per calendar month, counted in UTC and reset on the first.
• Business is $29 a month and Team is $79 a month, in US dollars. Annual billing is ten months for twelve, charged once.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. We will not hide the cancel button, and we will not require a phone call.
• Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep read access to reviews you have already run.
• If we raise prices, existing subscribers keep their price for at least 12 months and get 30 days' notice.
• Refunds: if something we did stopped Clause working for you, email us and we will refund the period. We would rather give the money back than argue.

We aim for Clause to be available and we publish incidents on the status page. We do not offer a contractual uptime guarantee at this stage of the company, and we would rather say so than promise one we have not built the redundancy to keep.

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to Clause is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or the outcome of a contract you signed.

Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. We are aware of the irony of a liability cap in the terms of a product that explains liability caps, which is why ours is twelve months rather than one and why we are pointing at it.

You can stop using Clause and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and where we reasonably can we will tell you why first and give you a chance to export your reviews.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts in Travis County, Texas. Both of us waive a jury trial. We have not put an arbitration clause in, because we would rather not rely on one.

If we change these terms materially we will email account holders at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Carrying on using Clause after that means you accept the new version. This version is effective 1 July 2026.
