1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using ClauseGuard AI (“Service”), available at www.theclauseguard.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of service

ClauseGuard AI is an artificial intelligence-powered contract review platform that analyzes legal documents, identifies risks, generates redline suggestions, and provides related tools including contract comparison, obligation tracking, negotiation coaching, and clause benchmarking.

3. Not legal advice

Important disclaimer

ClauseGuard AI is a technology tool, not a law firm. The Service does not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using ClauseGuard. AI-generated analyses, risk scores, redlines, and recommendations are informational only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal counsel. You should consult a qualified attorney before making binding legal decisions based on any output from ClauseGuard.
