These terms govern your use of Gig Clause (“the service,” “we,” “us”), operated by Tanvir Chowdhury. By creating an account or using the service, including the free review tool with no account, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.
1. What Gig Clause is
Gig Clause is software for freelancers and small agencies. It analyzes contract text you submit and returns a clarity score, flagged clauses explained in plain English, and suggested wording, and it can generate a draft services agreement from a form you fill in, which you can then edit and send for countersignature.
Gig Clause is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services. It is automated software, not a professional acting on your behalf: no attorney reviews your contract, drafts your agreement, or is involved in any part of the process, and using the service does not create an attorney-client relationship. It highlights common contract issues and suggests negotiation language based on a curated corpus of clause standards, not a legal opinion on your specific situation or jurisdiction. For any decision with real financial or legal consequences, consult a qualified attorney licensed where you do business. This applies to every report, every drafted contract, and every answer from the ask-the-report feature.
2. Accounts
- Sign-in uses Google Sign-In, there is no password with us to set or leak.
- You must be able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use paid plans, and you must provide a real, working email address.
- You’re responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else has access to the Google account you sign in with.
- One account per person. Sharing a login to get around a plan’s limits is a violation of these terms.
3. Plans and billing
- The Free plan costs nothing and has no time limit, subject to its monthly review, draft, and proposal caps.
- Paid plans (Solo, Agency) renew automatically each billing period, monthly or annual, until you cancel.
- Payments are processed by Paddle.com, which acts as the merchant of record for every charge: Paddle is the seller, handles your card details directly, issues the receipt under its own name, and collects and remits any applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST. Gig Clause never sees or stores your card number.
- Cancel anytime, self-serve, through the Paddle customer portal linked from your dashboard. Cancellation stops future renewal charges; it does not, by itself, refund the current billing period, see our refund policy.
- We may change plan pricing going forward with reasonable notice; a price change never applies retroactively to a period you’ve already paid for.
4. Acceptable use
- Only submit a contract if you’re authorized to share it, contracts often name a counterparty who hasn’t consented to having their document processed by a third-party tool.
- Don’t use the service for anything illegal, to harass anyone, or to attempt to reverse-engineer or scrape the clause corpus or the underlying analysis pipeline.
- Don’t try to bypass rate limits or plan quotas (every write action on the platform is rate-limited, including free-tier and anonymous use).
- We may suspend or terminate an account that violates this section, with notice where practical. A suspended or banned account can still export its data and delete itself, see our privacy policy.
5. Your content, our corpus
You keep all rights to the contracts you submit or draft, we claim no ownership over them. We grant you a license to use the drafted contracts and generated reports for your own business purposes. In return, you grant us the license needed to process your submissions to provide the analysis and drafting features and, in anonymized and aggregated form only, to improve the clause corpus over time. The clause corpus itself (data/clause-rules.json in the codebase) and the software are our property.
6. E-signatures
The contract builder’s signing step captures a basic electronic signature: a typed name or a drawn mark, a timestamp, and a hashed IP address. It is not a certified e-signature service: there is no identity verification, no tamper-evident certificate, and no compliance tooling built for the US ESIGN Act, UETA, or the EU eIDAS regulation, beyond what those regimes already recognize for a basic electronic mark both parties intend as a signature. For a contract where enforceability is genuinely contested, or above a value you’re not comfortable with on a basic signature, use a dedicated e-signature provider instead.
7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We don’t warrant that the analysis is complete, error-free, or will catch every issue in a contract, it is an automated tool built on a curated corpus and a language model, not a substitute for professional judgment. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
8. Ending your access
You can delete your account at any time from your dashboard, this removes your profile, reviews, usage history, and any contract still a private draft immediately. A contract a client has already countersigned is kept as the mutual record both parties relied on and is orphaned from the account rather than deleted, since it reflects an agreement between two parties, not just you. We may terminate access for a violation of section 4.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the service changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top; continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
