Every clause, color-coded by risk

We don't just flag problems — we show you what to fight, what to negotiate, and what's already protecting you.

Red flags

  • IP ownership traps

  • Overreaching non-competes
  • Pay-when-paid provisions

Things to negotiate

  • Vague scope of work
  • One-sided termination rights
  • Late payment penalties
  • Indemnification imbalance

Your protections

  • Liability caps in place
  • Clear payment schedules
  • IP ownership defined
  • Reasonable termination terms

Real clauses. Real consequences.

Clauses that cost freelancers thousands

ReviewMyContract catches issues like these — explained in plain English, not legalese.

"All work product, including pre-existing IP, shall be the sole property of the Client"

This clause would transfer ownership of your existing tools, templates, and frameworks — not just what you create for this project. Always carve out pre-existing IP.

"Contractor shall not engage in any competing business for 24 months following termination"

A 2-year non-compete for a freelancer is extremely aggressive and could prevent you from working in your field. Most reasonable non-competes are 3-6 months and narrowly scoped.

"Payment shall be made within 90 days of invoice submission, subject to client approval"

Net-90 with a subjective approval requirement means you could wait months to get paid — or not at all. Standard freelance terms are net-15 to net-30.

What a review catches

Example scenarios from common contract traps

Illustrative examples of the clause patterns our reviews are designed to flag.

IP assignment overreach

A freelance agreement assigns all pre-existing code libraries to the client. A review flags the clause and suggests carve-out language for tools you built before the engagement.

Example scenario

Overbroad non-compete

An 18-month non-compete would block freelancing for any company in the industry. A review flags the scope and suggests specific narrowing language to propose.

Example scenario

Buried payment terms

Net-90 payment terms buried on page 12 mean waiting three months for payment. A review surfaces the term so you can negotiate Net-30 before signing.

Example scenario
