The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Check whether a freelancer or contractor agreement has the protections I need. I am the [CLIENT_OR_CONTRACTOR]. Country or state: [JURISDICTION]. Type of work and value: [WORK_AND_VALUE]. Agreement text: [PASTE_AGREEMENT]. This is a reading aid, not legal advice. Go through the checklist. Mark Present, Weak, or Missing and quote the clause (or write "none"): [ ] Parties, services, and deliverables described specifically [ ] Deadlines, milestones, and acceptance criteria [ ] Fees, expenses, invoicing, payment terms, late fees, and kill fee [ ] Revisions limits and change requests process [ ] Independent contractor status and control of working methods [VERIFY classification rules locally] [ ] Ownership of work product and when it transfers (on payment?) [ ] License to the contractor's pre-existing materials and tools [ ] Confidentiality and data protection obligations [ ] Warranties, liability limits, and indemnities that are balanced [ ] Termination rights and what is owed on termination [ ] Subcontracting and use of AI tools [ ] Portfolio or credit rights [ ] Dispute resolution and governing law [ ] Insurance requirements Highlight the five clauses that most favor the other side or are missing, suggest plain-language fixes to negotiate, and list questions for a lawyer. Treat all output as a draft for discussion, not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer or privacy specialist who knows [JURISDICTION] verify it before you rely on it.
