Recover may not be the right fit.
Clause Recover is designed for situations where you paid a creator or contractor and they failed to deliver. If your situation is different, our other tools might help.
Want us to notify you when we expand?
⏰
Your situation may be past the recovery window.
Most states have a statute of limitations on contract claims. Based on your timeline, letter-based recovery may no longer be available — but there may still be options.
Leave your email and we'll send alternatives.
🔍
You may need to gather a bit more first.
Attorney-backed demand letters work best with some proof — messages, receipts, or a written agreement. Even informal DMs or payment screenshots help.

The problem no one talks about

Small businesses lose billions to non-performing creators every year.

The deals are too small for lawyers, too big to ignore, and too messy to fight alone. That's exactly the gap Clause fills.

✖

They took your money and disappeared.

You found a creator, negotiated a deal, paid upfront or 50% down — and they vanished. No deliverables, no updates, no responses. You're out thousands with no idea if you have legal recourse.

Ghosting Non-Delivery Demand Letters
▽

The work was delivered — but it's unusable.

They technically delivered something, but it's nothing close to what was agreed. Wrong format, wrong brand voice, recycled content. Now they claim the contract is fulfilled and refuse a refund.

⧖

You're stuck in an endless “almost done” loop.

Every week it's "almost finished" or "sending tomorrow." Your campaign launch passed, your product launch stalled, and you're losing real revenue waiting on content that never arrives.

Deadline Tracking Escalation Demand Letters
§

You think it's too small to fight for.

The amount is $2,000 or $5,000 or $8,000. Real money to your business, but every lawyer quotes $300/hr. So you eat the loss. Except you shouldn't have to — recovery paths exist that cost under $100.

Your options for recovering money.

Most people give up because they think the only option is a $400/hr lawyer. It's not.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

No. For routine disputes under $10K, Clause handles demand letters and follow-up. For complex cases, we route to vetted commercial attorneys through our attorney partner. Clause helps you handle the everyday recovery cases that don't need a $400/hr attorney, and connects you to one when they do.
Even DM agreements, email threads, and verbal agreements with payment proof can support a recovery claim. Upload whatever you have — Clause identifies enforceable obligations from any format. Screenshots, invoices, Venmo receipts, and text messages all count as evidence.
Included in all paid plans. No per-letter fees. The Pro plan includes unlimited demand letters plus 3 follow-up nudge cycles per case. Each letter is customized to your situation and reviewed against your state's contract law requirements.
After 30 days and 3 nudge cycles, Clause walks you through your next options: small claims court filing (typically $30–75), platform disputes, or attorney referral at fixed-fee rates. Most cases resolve before reaching this stage — a formal demand letter signals you're serious.
