Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ClearClause (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

2. Description of Service

ClearClause is an AI-powered contract analysis tool that helps users understand the content and potential risks of legal documents. The Service extracts text from uploaded PDF files and uses artificial intelligence to generate a risk assessment and plain-English breakdown of contract clauses.

ClearClause does not provide legal advice. The analysis generated is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney. Always consult a licensed legal professional before signing any legal document.

3. User Accounts and Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 18 years old to use ClearClause. By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.

4. Subscription and Payment

ClearClause offers both a free tier and paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro, Agency). Paid plans are billed on a monthly recurring basis. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Account page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to paid features until that date.

Refunds: As ClearClause is a digital service that grants immediate access upon payment, we do not offer refunds for any subscription period already paid. No refunds are issued for partial months.

We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use ClearClause to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation.
  • Upload documents containing illegal content.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the Service.
  • Resell or redistribute access to the Service without our written consent.
  • Circumvent usage limits or access controls.
  • Interfere with the security or integrity of the platform.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms without prior notice.

6. Fair Use Policy

ClearClause is designed for individual freelancers and agencies reviewing real contracts. To ensure fair access for all users, we reserve the right to limit or suspend accounts that show abnormal usage patterns, including but not limited to:

  • Uploading the same contract repeatedly.
  • Automated or bot-based uploads.
  • Uploading documents that are not contracts (books, manuals, spam).
  • Attempting to circumvent plan limits.
  • Uploading documents exceeding 20 pages repeatedly.

Users who consistently upload very large documents may be subject to additional fair use limits. ClearClause reserves the right to modify plan limits for accounts that negatively impact service quality for other users. In cases of severe abuse, accounts may be suspended or terminated without refund.

7. AI Analysis Disclaimer

The contract analysis provided by ClearClause is generated by artificial intelligence and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. AI-generated analysis:

  • Does not constitute legal advice.
  • May not reflect the most current laws or regulations.
  • May miss context-specific nuances that a qualified attorney would identify.
  • Should never be the sole basis for any legal or financial decision.

ClearClause makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the AI-generated analysis.

8. Intellectual Property

Your content: You retain full ownership of any contracts or documents you upload to ClearClause. By uploading, you grant us a limited, temporary license to process the content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

Our platform: ClearClause, including its software, design, branding, and analysis outputs, is owned by ClearClause and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the platform without our written permission.

9. Account Termination

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at clearclausesupport@gmail.com.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms of Service, engage in fraudulent activity, or otherwise misuse the Service — with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the violation.

10. Changes to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time. For material changes — including pricing increases — we will provide reasonable advance notice via email or an in-app notification.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ClearClause and its owners, operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service — including but not limited to damages resulting from reliance on AI-generated analysis, financial loss, or legal disputes.

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Japan.
