TradeClause reads cross-border trade contracts β in English or Chinese β and flags the clauses that actually cost you money: payment terms, quality claim windows, one-sided arbitration, force majeure gaps. You get the risk in plain language, plus the exact wording to push back.

They look for kill fees and IP assignment. Those matter β if you're a designer. A purchase contract has a completely different set of traps, and nobody is checking for them.
Not NDAs. Not leases. TradeClause checks the clause set that decides whether you get paid and whether you eat a bad shipment:
Your counterparty writes in their language, and that's exactly where the risk hides.
"This clause is risky" is useless at 11pm before a shipment. Every flag ships with:
No implementation call. No "book a demo". Upload and read.
PDF or Word, English or Chinese, up to 60 pages. Your file is analyzed and then deleted β never stored, never used for training.
TradeClause scores each clause against what's standard in cross-border trade, and flags what's missing as loudly as what's dangerous.
Ranked risks, replacement wording, and a ready-to-send negotiation email. Download as PDF and forward it to your lawyer if the deal is big.

No. TradeClause is a risk-screening tool, not a law firm. It tells you where to look and what to ask for, so that the hour you do spend with a lawyer is spent on the right three clauses instead of on page 1. For anything above roughly $50,000 or involving IP assignment, get a human to sign off.
You can, and for one contract it works okay. What you won't get is consistency: a generic prompt misses trade-specific clause types entirely (retention of title, claim windows, Incoterms risk transfer) and produces a different answer every time. TradeClause runs the same checklist on every contract and reports what's missing, which is the part a generic prompt never catches.
No. The file is analyzed in memory and deleted when the report is generated. We don't retain contract text and we don't use customer documents for model training.
Sales & purchase agreements, proforma invoices with terms, distribution and agency agreements, OEM/ODM and manufacturing agreements, NDAs (both directions), and cross-border service agreements.
English and Chinese at launch. Japanese, Korean, Spanish and German are on the roadmap β tell us which one you need on the waitlist form and we'll prioritize it.
