How it works

Three steps. No legalese.

01
Upload your contract

PDF, Word document, or plain text. Any standard format. Upload takes seconds.

02
AI scans every clause

The full document is analyzed for risks in payment, IP, liability, termination, and more.

03
Review and negotiate

Each issue comes with a severity score, a plain-English explanation, and guidance on what to push back on.

When you upload a contract, Flag Red reads every clause and cross-references it against a library of known risk patterns. Payment terms are checked for late fees, milestone ambiguity, and who controls final approval. IP clauses are tested for scope and whether pre-existing work is inadvertently included. Termination, liability, exclusivity, and renewal clauses each run through their own checks. The result is a structured report with severity scores and plain-English notes on every issue, usually ready in under a minute.

Built for you

For anyone who signs contracts they didn't write.

Creators & influencers

Brand deals are full of exclusivity traps, perpetual usage rights, and vague payment conditions. Know exactly what you're agreeing to before you sign.

For creators

Freelancers & contractors

Client contracts routinely contain scope creep clauses, IP grabs, and one-sided termination terms. Catch them before they cost you.

For freelancers

Founders & small teams

Vendor agreements, SaaS contracts, and service terms are written by lawyers. Now you have a way to review them without hiring one.

For businesses

What we scan

Common contracts we help review

Flag Red is built to handle the agreements that freelancers, creators, and small teams encounter most. Below are the contract types we see most often and the specific risks each one carries.

Freelance contracts

Covers payment schedules, IP ownership, scope of work, and termination rights. Overbroad IP clauses and delayed payment terms are the most common issues.

Freelancer guide
NDAs and confidentiality agreements

Non-disclosure agreements often have unlimited duration, vague definitions of confidential information, and asymmetric obligations that heavily favour one party.

Influencer and brand deals

Sponsorship contracts routinely include perpetual content usage rights, broad exclusivity windows, and vague approval or revision clauses. Know before you post.

Creator guide
Independent contractor agreements

Watch for clauses that reclassify your relationship, capture IP beyond the project scope, or restrict your ability to work with other clients.

Freelancer guide
Vendor and service agreements

Vendor contracts from larger companies are usually written to protect them, not you. Uncapped liability, automatic renewal, and one-sided amendment rights are common.

Business guide
Employment agreements

Offer letters and employment contracts can contain non-compete clauses, IP assignment provisions, and garden leave terms that limit your options after you leave.

Privacy & trust

Built for trust from day one.

End-to-end encryption

Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Your documents are never shared with third parties.

Auto-deletion

Free scan files are automatically deleted after processing. No permanent storage without your consent.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before uploading your first contract.

Flag Red scans for risky clauses across eight categories: problematic payment terms, overbroad IP transfers, uncapped liability, restrictive non-competes and exclusivity clauses, one-sided termination rights, automatic renewal traps, forced arbitration provisions, and unilateral amendment rights. Each issue is rated by severity and explained in plain English, with specific guidance on what to push back on.

Flag Red can analyze non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and flag clauses that may be overly broad, one-sided, or difficult to exit. Common NDA red flags include unlimited duration, vague definitions of confidential information, asymmetric mutual vs. one-way obligations, and overly broad scope that could prevent you from working in your field.

Yes. Freelance contracts and independent contractor agreements are among the most common documents reviewed on Flag Red. Flag Red checks for overbroad IP assignment (including pre-existing work), uncapped liability, vague scope of work, delayed payment terms, and one-sided termination clauses.

Yes. Influencer agreements and sponsorship contracts often contain broad exclusivity clauses, perpetual content usage rights, and vague payment conditions. Flag Red identifies these issues and explains what they mean before you sign.

Nope! You can upload one contract and get a free scan without creating an account or entering your email.

We work with most standard agreements: freelance contracts, brand deals, service agreements, NDAs, and more. If it's written in plain English, Flag Red can analyze it.

You can upload a PDF or Word (DOCX) document, or paste contract text directly into the scanner. Flag Red works with any standard agreement format written in plain English.

Free scan files are automatically deleted after processing. Paid accounts can store contracts, but you control your data and can delete it at any time from account settings. Your documents are never shared with third parties or used to train AI models.

Flag Red identifies risks and explains what they mean, but it does not provide legal advice. If a contract contains critical-severity issues, involves significant financial exposure, or covers jurisdiction-specific matters, consult a qualified attorney. Think of Flag Red as a strong first read, not the final word.

No. Flag Red is automated software and does not provide legal advice. It does not substitute for a qualified attorney and does not create any attorney-client relationship.

Flag Red uses advanced language models trained to spot patterns and risky clauses with high precision. While not a replacement for a lawyer, it catches things most people miss.
