Check my contractBuilt for designers, developers, marketers, and other UK freelancers. No legal jargon, just clarity on what you're about to sign.
See how it works in 30 seconds
Most freelancers sign contracts they don't fully understand.
Long client agreements, legal jargon, and hidden clauses around payment, scope and liability. You skim, hope for the best, and only realise the risk when there's a dispute or late payment.

Understand your freelance contract before you sign it
- Get an instant score showing how protective your contract is for you as a freelancer, not just for the client. We look at payment terms, scope, IP, liability and termination to give you a quick 'safe / risky' snapshot before you sign.
- See specific clauses and patterns that are likely to cause problems later: vague scope, 'work for free' revision expectations, unlimited liability, unfair termination, and more. Instead of a generic summary, you get a clear list of things to question or renegotiate.
- No legalese. AskMyContract explains what risky or missing clauses actually mean in simple, conversational language, how they could play out in a late payment, a scope change, or a client dispute.
- We highlight if your payment terms are unclear, heavily delayed, or completely silent about late fees and milestones. You'll know whether the contract makes it easy or hard to get paid on time.
- Optimised around UK freelance norms and service agreements for designers, developers, marketers, social media managers and more. We focus on the reality of client work in the UK not generic US-only templates.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
Generic AI gives generic answers. We provide legal analysis tailored to your perspective, grounded in England & Wales law principles and clause-specific risk assessment.
Example scenario:
Freelance designer reviewing a new client contract
Contract clause: "Payment shall be made within 45 days of invoice submission."
Generic AI response
"Is this payment term fair for my freelance work?"
This seems like a standard payment term. 45 days is reasonable for business-to-business transactions. You might want to check if this works for your cash flow.
AskMyContract analysis
"Is this payment term fair for my freelance work?"
45 days is a long wait to get paid, and that's going to hurt your cash flow. Most UK freelancers negotiate 14-30 day terms. There's also no late payment penalty here, which means if they pay late, you're stuck chasing them. You've got the right to charge interest under UK law (Late Payment Act), so ask for 1.5% monthly on overdue invoices. For anything over £2,000, I'd push for milestone payments so you're not waiting months for your money.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
If you're not sure whether your contract is a good fit or how AskMyContract works, these answers should help.
For each contract you upload, you get a full freelancer protection review:
- A readiness score (0–100) based on how protective it is for you.
- A checklist of red-flag clauses and missing protections.
- Plain-English explanations of what each issue could mean in real life (late payments, scope creep, termination, etc.).
- Specific points you can raise with the client or a solicitor if you want to negotiate changes.
Most contracts are analysed within 1-2 minutes. Longer or more complex documents may take slightly longer.
Once complete, you'll see your full analysis on screen and can access it anytime from your dashboard.
Yes. Each contract analysis includes 5 follow-up questions you can ask using our Q&A feature.
For example: "What happens if the client cancels early?" or "Is this liability clause standard?" The AI will answer based on your specific contract text and UK freelance context.
Generic AI tools give generic answers. AskMyContract is purpose-built for UK freelancers:
- Analysis grounded in England & Wales law (Late Payment Act, IR35 considerations, etc.)
- Evaluates contracts from your perspective as the freelancer, not the client's
- Provides specific, actionable negotiation points rather than vague suggestions
- Structured output with severity ratings, not just a wall of text
No. AskMyContract is not a law firm and does not provide formal legal advice.
It's an AI assistant that helps you understand your contract better, spot risks, and feel more confident before you sign. If something serious or complex comes up, you should still speak to a qualified solicitor.
Right now we focus on UK freelance service agreements where you're providing services as an independent contractor, not as an employee.
Typical examples: design retainers, development projects, marketing and social media management, consulting, content creation, and similar client–freelancer agreements.
For the current version, we work best with text-based PDFs where you can select and copy the text.
If your contract is just a photo or low-quality scan, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate. In that case, we'll prompt you to upload a clearer version or copy-paste the text instead.
Your contracts are never used to train AI models. We use Claude by Anthropic for analysis, and under our API agreement, your data is not used for model training.
Here's how we protect your data:
- PDF files deleted instantly — within seconds of upload, after we extract the text
- Contract text encrypted with AES-256 — the same standard used by banks
- Only you can access your contracts — via your secure account
- Delete anytime — your contracts are permanently removed when you delete them
We don't sell your data. We don't share it with third parties (except Anthropic for analysis). Your contracts stay yours.
Each analysis is a one-time purchase. Because the AI analysis is delivered immediately upon payment, we generally can't offer refunds for completed analyses.
If something went wrong (i.e the analysis failed, you were charged twice, or the service didn't work as expected), contact us at support@askmycontract.co.uk and we'll make it right.
Before you sign your next contract, check if it protects you.
A single unclear clause can lead to scope creep, late payments, or disputes. Let AskMyContract analyse your agreement and highlight the risks in plain English.
