Terms of Service

Last updated: March 26, 2026 · Effective: March 26, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using PlainLaw, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service. We may update these terms at any time by posting the updated version on our website; your continued use of PlainLaw after changes are posted means you've accepted them.

2. Important Disclaimer: Not Legal Advice

PlainLaw is not a law firm. We don't give legal advice and using PlainLaw doesn't make us your lawyer. Our analysis is AI-powered and may miss things; always consult a licensed attorney before making legal decisions based on our output.

3. Description of Service

PlainLaw analyzes contracts you upload (PDF or DOCX) or submit via URL and gives you a risk score, flagged provisions with plain-English explanations, key terms, a summary, and tools to draft negotiation emails and export PDF reports. We currently support SaaS agreements, NDAs, services agreements, influencer/brand agreements, commercial leases, and general contracts.

4. Account Registration and Security

You need an account to use PlainLaw's paid features. Keep your login info secure; you're responsible for activity under your account. If we think your account is compromised, we may suspend it but we'll email you within 24 hours with the reason and give you 14 days to fix it.

5. Subscription Plans and Payment

We offer a free preview (risk score and top drivers), single reports for $9.99, Pro at $59/month or $499/year (10 analyses/month), and Business at $129/month or $1,099/year (25 analyses/month). Cancel anytime before your billing cycle ends and you won't be charged again. We'll remind you by email 14 days before any annual renewal. Price increases are capped at 10% per year with 60 days notice.

6. User Content and Data

You own everything you upload; we just process it to give you the analysis. Contract files are processed and then immediately deleted from our servers. Only the analysis results and extracted data are retained in your account. Your documents are sent to Anthropic's commercial API for AI processing, which prohibits using your data for model training. We treat your uploads as confidential and will never share them. We use encryption and standard security practices, and if there's ever a security incident, we'll tell you within 72 hours.

7. Acceptable Use

Don't upload documents you don't have the right to share. Don't use PlainLaw to build a competing product, and don't try to reverse-engineer our system. Be a good citizen.

8. Intellectual Property

We own PlainLaw: the rules engine, the scoring, the interface. You own your uploaded contracts. The analysis results are a mix of both, and you can use, copy, and share them for your business purposes. If you give us feedback or ideas, we can use them freely.

9. Disclaimers

PlainLaw is provided as-is. We don't guarantee it will catch everything in your contract, that scores will be perfect, or that the service will never go down. Automated analysis has limits; it's meant to help, not replace a lawyer.

10. Limitation of Liability

Neither party is on the hook for indirect losses like lost profits. Each party's total liability is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months (or $100 if you're on the free tier). The only exceptions: breaches of confidentiality and indemnification obligations.

11. Indemnification

If you upload a document you didn't have the right to share, or if someone relies on your PlainLaw analysis and has a problem, you agree to cover our legal costs related to those claims.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Utah law governs these terms. If we have a disagreement, we'll try to work it out between us for 30 days first. If that doesn't work, either of us can go to court in Utah.

13. Professional Referral Services

We may show you information about lawyers who can help with your contracts. That's just a suggestion; we're not endorsing anyone, and any engagement with a lawyer is between you and them.

14. User Feedback

PlainLaw may offer you the option to provide feedback on analysis results, such as accuracy ratings on flagged provisions. If you choose to provide feedback, we may use it to improve PlainLaw's analysis accuracy, including the quality of our extraction logic, risk scoring, and flag explanations. Feedback data includes your rating and optional reason selection; it does not include the text of your contract. Providing feedback is entirely voluntary and does not affect your analysis results.

15. General Provisions

These terms plus our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement. If any part is invalid, the rest still stands. We can assign these terms in a merger or acquisition. You can't assign yours without our permission. Questions? Email legal@getplainlaw.com.
