RateMyContract isn't a law firm and doesn't give legal advice, so there's no attorney–client relationship here. Think of it as a sharp second read that helps you ask better questions before you sign — not a substitute for a lawyer when the stakes are high. 18+ only.

How it works

Understand any contract in plain English

Paste it. Read it. Get it. — three steps, under thirty seconds. Your document is read in memory and never stored after your report is generated — no account needed for your first read.

Step 01

Drop it in

Paste the text or upload a PDF, DOCX or TXT. Names, addresses and personal details are auto-redacted before anything is read.

Step 02

We read every line

Each clause is checked against what's normal for that kind of contract. The ones that lean against you get flagged by severity — not by fear.

Step 03

Understand & act

Get a plain-English summary, a clear grade, and a short list of what's worth asking about before you sign — named section by section.

Redaction catches most personal details, but not always every one — don't upload anything you wouldn't be comfortable sharing.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they sign

The short, honest answers — on what this is, what happens to your document, and what it can read.

Is RateMyContract legal advice?

No. RateMyContract isn't a law firm and doesn't give legal advice, so there's no attorney–client relationship. It's a careful second read that helps you understand the fine print and ask better questions before you sign — not a substitute for a lawyer when the stakes are high.

Is my contract stored?

No. Your document is read in memory and never stored after your report is generated. Personal details like names, addresses and account numbers are auto-redacted before anything is analysed, and your contract is never used to train an AI model.

What contracts can I check?

Leases, job offers, NDAs, freelance and vendor agreements, subscriptions and more — any everyday contract you want to understand in plain English before you sign it.
