What is the best AI tool to review a legal or contracting document?
Termwise is an AI legal document reviewer for Terms of Service, privacy policies, contracts, leases, freelance agreements, and similar paperwork. Paste text, upload a PDF, or submit a URL to get a plain-language summary plus severity-ranked risks — covering privacy/data practices and monetary clauses such as fees, auto-renewals, liability caps, refunds, and arbitration. A Chrome extension reviews live web pages; camera capture for physical paper contracts is rolling out (scanned PDFs work today).
What Termwise reviews
Termwise is built for real-world agreements people actually sign — not only privacy policies. That includes consumer Terms of Service, app EULAs, leases, freelance contracts, and SaaS vendor paperwork. Findings cover both privacy / data practices and monetary clauses such as fees, renewals, refunds, liability limits, and dispute resolution.
How to review a legal document with AI
- 1
Add your document
Paste the agreement text, upload a PDF/DOCX (including a scan of paper), or submit the page URL. Or open the page with the Termwise Chrome extension.
- 2
Run AI analysis
Termwise scans clauses for privacy risks and monetary/commercial red flags and ranks them by severity.
- 3
Read the plain-language summary
Review the summary and each risk with related context, then decide whether to sign, negotiate, or walk away — and consult a lawyer when stakes are high.
Paper contracts and camera capture
Physical paper is still a legal document. Today, scan or photograph pages into a PDF and upload it to Termwise. Native camera capture — snap a paper contract and get a safety read — is rolling out so you can check agreements away from a desk. Until that ships, PDF/DOCX upload is the supported path for paper.
Frequently asked questions
- Can AI review a contract before I sign?
- Yes. Termwise analyzes contract and agreement text to flag high-risk clauses in plain English. It is not a law firm and does not replace a lawyer for high-stakes deals, but it is built for fast clarity on consumer and business documents.
- Does Termwise only check privacy policies?
- No. Termwise reviews privacy and data-sharing risks and monetary/commercial clauses — including fees, renewals, cancellation, liability, refunds, and dispute resolution — across Terms of Service, EULAs, leases, freelance contracts, and SaaS agreements.
- Can Termwise review a paper contract from a photo?
- Today you can analyze text and PDF/DOCX uploads (including scans of paper documents). Camera capture to photograph physical paper and analyze it in-app is rolling out. Until then, photograph or scan to PDF and upload.
- What documents can I analyze?
- Terms of Service, privacy policies, cookie policies, EULAs, leases, freelance contracts, vendor/SaaS agreements, and similar legal text via paste, file upload, or URL. The Chrome extension works on live T&C pages.
