You get sent a 14-page MSA and either skim it and pray, or pay a lawyer $500 and wait three days while the deal stalls. Fine Print reads every clause, flags the ones that can actually hurt you, explains each in plain English, and suggests a redline — so you know exactly what to push back on.
The problem
Every freelancer and small business does it: a contract lands, you skim the numbers page, and you sign. The risky clause is never the price — it's the liability cap you didn't notice, the IP clause that grabs your tools, the renewal that locks you in.
You mean to read it. But it's 14 pages of "hereinafter" and the deal is waiting. So you sign and hope — and hope is not a legal strategy.
A proper review is $500+ and three days — for a contract worth $8k. So you only lawyer-up on the big ones, and get burned on the "small" ones.
The dangerous bits hide behind boring headings. "Indemnity," "Assignment," "Term & Renewal" — the words sound harmless until they cost you.
How it works
What you can't accept (uncapped liability, losing your pre-existing IP), what you'll negotiate, and what's fine. Fine Print builds your clause library around how you actually work.
We run your past contracts through it and you check the flags. We tune severity to your judgment — so it cries wolf rarely enough that you keep trusting it.
Send a contract, get back a clause-by-clause flag with plain-English risks and redlines, in about ninety seconds. High-risk items are marked "take this to a lawyer."
The honest part
Anyone who says AI replaces a contract lawyer is selling you something. Here's the actual line.
Negotiate for you, give legal advice, catch a novel clause crafted for your specific situation, or stand behind an opinion in a dispute.
For genuinely high-stakes or unusual contracts, you still want a human lawyer — and Fine Print will say so, in writing, on exactly the clauses that need one.
Reads 100% of every routine contract — the MSAs, SOWs, NDAs and DPAs you currently skim — and flags the standard traps with a plain-English explanation and a starting redline.
You stop signing blind on the 90% that's routine, and you spend lawyer money only on the 10% that genuinely needs it — better targeted than before.
Pricing
No per-seat pricing. You know the number before we start.
Questions
No, and it's designed to be upfront about that. Fine Print is a first pass that reads every clause of routine contracts and flags the standard traps in plain English. For genuinely high-stakes or unusual contracts it tells you to involve a lawyer — and marks exactly which clauses need one, so that expensive hour is spent on the right pages.
The ones that actually hurt small businesses: unlimited or uncapped liability, broad indemnities, IP assignment that grabs your pre-existing tools, auto-renewal with short notice windows, long payment terms, one-sided termination, and non-competes. Your clause library is built around your own "never accept" list in week one.
They're processed on infrastructure I control and document, not used to train anyone else's model, and not retained beyond what's needed to produce your review. If you have specific confidentiality obligations, we design around them in week one — including, where required, keeping everything inside your own environment.
You can, and it'll give you a plausible-sounding summary — sometimes right, sometimes confidently wrong, with no consistent standard behind it. Fine Print applies a fixed clause library tuned to your risk profile, so the same trap gets flagged the same way every time, with a severity you calibrated. Consistency is the whole product.
That's why the guarantee is measured against an agreed test set of trap clauses, not a vague promise. No system — human or machine — catches everything, which is why high-risk items are always escalated to a real lawyer. The goal isn't perfection; it's that you stop signing the routine stuff blind.
