After 20 years at Microsoft and Auth0, I've signed hundreds of contracts as a freelancer, contractor, and startup founder. Some were fine. Some cost me thousands because of clauses I didn't understand until it was too late.
I built Lexray to catch the traps I missed. Now in free beta.
Three steps to contract clarity
Drop your contract PDF. Works with NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, and project agreements. Your file is encrypted immediately.
AI scans every clause for payment traps, IP ownership issues, liability exposure, non-competes, and unfair termination terms.
Get a risk score, plain-English explanations, and a draft response you can send to the client. File deleted automatically.
The clauses that actually matter to your bottom line
Net-90 buried in fine print, unclear milestone definitions, or payment contingencies
Clauses that transfer your entire portfolio, not just the deliverables
Unlimited indemnification that puts your assets at risk
Restrictions that block you from working with anyone in the industry
Contracts that lock you in for years with impossible exit terms
Client can cancel anytime, you're locked in with penalties
Section 4.2 requires Net-90 payment terms with no milestone structure. This means you deliver everything before seeing payment for 90 days.
Recommendation: Request 50% upfront and 50% on delivery, or milestone-based payments.
Section 7.1 transfers ownership of "all work product and materials created during the term" - this could include your existing portfolio pieces if modified.
Recommendation: Limit to "work product created specifically for this project."
30-day notice period for both parties with payment for work completed. This is standard.
Your report includes suggested language you can send to the client to address these concerns professionally.
I am a solo founder and I just launched Lexray.
Analyze your contract and let me know what you think!
"Caught a non-compete clause that would've prevented me from working with anyone in tech for 2 years. Worth every penny... except it's free."
"Found out I was signing away IP to my entire portfolio, not just the project deliverables. Saved my business."
"Net-90 payment buried in section 12. Would've killed my cash flow. Now I negotiate upfront payment on every contract."
Absolutely. Your document is encrypted during upload, analyzed on secure servers, and permanently deleted immediately after analysis. We don't store, share, or use your contracts for training AI models.
Our AI identifies risky clauses and explains them in plain English—it doesn't provide legal advice. Think of it as a highly trained contract reviewer who highlights concerns. For complex situations, we always recommend consulting with a lawyer.
We're optimized for freelance agreements: NDAs, Master Service Agreements (MSAs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and one-off project contracts. If it's a standard B2B agreement, we can analyze it.
Use Lexray for quick risk assessment on standard contracts. Hire a lawyer for: contracts over $50K, complex multi-party agreements, litigation concerns, or when you need someone to negotiate on your behalf.
