Your contract & negotiation advocate
AI-powered SOWs, contract analysis, payment chasing, and licensed attorney access for freelancers.
Client emails 'can you also add...' — Clause detects it instantly. Pulls your original SOW, compares the request against defined scope, and drafts a friendly response that says yes AND prices the change. Three options: fold it in, price as add-on, or push to next phase. Professional tone, no awkwardness.
Most freelancers sign the client's contract because they don't have their own. Having your own SOW flips the power dynamic — you propose the terms, which anchors the entire negotiation on your defaults. Clause generates attorney-reviewed SOWs with IP protection, payment schedules, and scope boundaries in 30 seconds.
85% of freelancers deal with late payments. You feel guilty asking because it feels personal. Clause reframes it as process: 'this is a standard statutory notice triggered by our system.' You keep your nice professional identity while the money comes in. Escalates automatically from soft reminder to demand letter.
Freelancers often don't know they've signed away their rights until years later when they try to use the work in their portfolio or relicense it. Clause flags any language that transfers IP on signing — 'work-for-hire,' 'all rights assigned,' 'client shall own' — and gives you counter-language to keep what you've built.
Retainer renewals, invoice due dates, auto-renewal notice periods, option windows, rate review dates — Clause extracts them all from your contracts automatically. Your calendar fills itself. Alerts fire before deadlines hit so you never miss a rate increase window or let a retainer auto-renew at the old price.
Most freelancer disputes never reach a lawyer because lawyers are expensive and intimidating. Clause changes that. When a situation escalates beyond templates and demand letters — non-payment collections, IP theft, contract breaches — Clause routes you to licensed commercial and IP attorneys who specialize in freelancer disputes. You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.
A client asked me to 'just add one more page' to a website project. That one page turned into three pages and an admin dashboard. Clause caught the scope creep email and drafted a change order before I could say yes for free.
I had $12K outstanding across three clients, all past net-30. I felt guilty sending reminders because two of them were referrals. Clause's automated follow-up collected all three in 4 weeks. They didn't even know it was automated.
My client's contract had a 'work-for-hire' clause that meant I couldn't use my own designs in my portfolio. I'd been signing contracts like that for 3 years without knowing. Clause flagged it on the first scan.
I didn't realize my retainer had auto-renewed at my old rate. That's 6 months at $2,000/month below market. Clause now alerts me 45 days before every renewal so I can propose a rate adjustment.
Clause generates your SOWs, catches scope creep, chases late payments, and flags IP traps — so you can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
Client contracts, work-for-hire clauses, scope boundaries, revision limits. Keep your portfolio rights and stop doing free revisions.
Retainer agreements, content contracts, IP assignments. Stop signing away your work and start getting paid on time.
Project contracts, MSAs, SOWs, IP ownership clauses. Generate your own terms and catch scope creep before it kills your margin.
Engagement letters, retainer renewals, rate review windows. Never let a retainer auto-renew at the old price again.
Program agreements, client contracts, cancellation policies. Protect your time and collect what you're owed without the guilt.
Client agreements, licensing terms, usage scope. Stop giving away perpetual rights for flat fees and keep your portfolio yours.
A contract arrives in your inbox — brand deal, venue agreement, booking contract, licensing terms. Upload any PDF, DOCX, or even a screenshot from your DMs. Clause reads it clause-by-clause in about 15 seconds.
Every clause color-coded: green for fair, yellow for review, red for overreach. Rights, obligations, payment terms, exclusivity — all in plain English with benchmarks for your category.
For anything flagged red, Clause drafts counter-proposals — professional, cheerful, firm. Three options per issue so the conversation feels collaborative, not adversarial. You review and send.
Everyone else leaves you to figure it out alone. We have your back.
