Quick Summary
What OpenClauses Is

- Breaks down complex language into plain English
- Identifies key clauses and their implications
- Highlights potential risks or unusual terms
- Answers questions about the content
What we are: An educational tool to help you better understand documents.
What we are not: A substitute for professional legal advice.

- • We are not a law firm
- • Using OpenClauses does not create an attorney-client relationship
- • AI analysis may contain errors or miss important details
- • Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time
For any legal decision that could significantly affect your rights, finances, or obligations, we strongly encourage you to consult with a qualified attorney who understands your specific situation.
