What Difflaw does

FEATURES

Six capabilities that turn any contract from a legal maze into a clear decision. No lawyer required.

Know what's risky before you sign.

Difflaw reads every clause and automatically classifies risk at three severity levels — High, Medium, and Low. You see exactly which sections need attention, ranked by importance, so nothing slips through.

High-risk flags cover issues like uncapped liability, unilateral termination rights, and non-compete language. Medium flags catch auto-renewals, IP assignment traps, and unfavorable jurisdiction clauses. Low flags note minor imbalances worth being aware of.

  • Three-tier severity classification (High / Medium / Low)
  • Ranked by business impact, not alphabetically
  • Direct section citations so you can find the clause instantly
  • Works across NDA, SaaS, vendor, employment, and partnership agreements

Legal language, decoded.

Every clause is translated into plain English you can actually act on. No law degree, no legal dictionary, no guessing what "indemnify, defend, and hold harmless" really means for your business.

Difflaw pairs each clause with its plain-language equivalent, then adds a brief note explaining why it matters and what, if anything, you should push back on.

  • Side-by-side: original clause + plain English translation
  • Contextual notes explaining business impact
  • Negotiation suggestions when a clause is unusual
  • Executive summary for the full contract at a glance
Clause Translation — §8.2
Original
"Each party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from any claims, losses, or damages arising from its breach of this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys' fees."
Plain English
If you break the contract and the other party gets sued because of it, you pay their legal costs and damages. This goes both ways — they owe you the same.
Note
Standard mutual indemnification — this is market-normal. No action needed.

Catch what others miss.

Some clauses look routine but aren't. Evergreen auto-renewal with a 90-day exit window. IP assignment that transfers ownership of work you created before the contract. Unilateral modification rights that let the other party change terms without your consent.

Difflaw's red flag detection specifically looks for non-standard language — the terms that appear in contracts drafted to favor one side and that most people miss on a first read.

  • Detects non-standard and one-sided clause language
  • Flags IP traps, uncapped liability, unilateral modification rights
  • Surfaces hidden auto-renewal and lock-in terms
  • Explains why each flag is unusual, not just that it is
Red Flag Alerts — SaaS_Agreement.pdf
⚠ IP Assignment — Unusual
"All work product created during the engagement period, including pre-existing materials incorporated therein, shall become the exclusive property of Client."
This transfers ownership of your pre-existing IP. Negotiate a license grant instead.
⚠ Auto-Renewal — Non-standard
"This Agreement renews automatically for successive 12-month terms unless written notice is provided 90 days prior to renewal."
90-day notice window is unusually long. Standard is 30 days. Request amendment.

One number to tell the story.

Every contract Difflaw reviews gets an overall risk score from 0 to 100. A score near 0 means extremely high risk — many one-sided clauses working against you. A score near 100 means the contract is balanced and fair.

The score is broken down by category — liability, IP, payment, termination, confidentiality — so you can see exactly where the contract is weighted and where to focus your negotiation energy.

  • 0–100 overall risk score for instant assessment
  • Category breakdown: liability, IP, payment terms, and more
  • Compare multiple versions of a contract as you negotiate
  • Score history shows improvement across negotiation rounds

Upload anything. Review everything.

Contracts don't come in one format. A VC sends a term sheet as a PDF. A SaaS vendor emails a DOCX. A freelancer pastes terms into a Google Doc. Difflaw handles them all without you needing to reformat anything.

Simply upload your file and Difflaw extracts the contract text, runs the analysis, and delivers results regardless of how the document was created or what tool was used to produce it.

  • PDF — including scanned and image-based contracts
  • DOCX — Microsoft Word documents, any version
  • Plain text — paste directly from any source
  • No reformatting, no conversion steps required

Know what normal looks like.

Not every unusual clause is bad — and not every standard clause is fair. The Clause Library gives you market context: what does a typical NDA non-compete look like? What's a reasonable payment term for a SaaS contract?

When Difflaw flags a clause, the Clause Library shows you what the standard version looks like side-by-side — so you can see exactly what was changed and whether it matters for your situation.

  • Market-standard clause templates for common contract types
  • Side-by-side comparison: your clause vs. market standard
  • Covers NDA, SaaS, employment, vendor, and partnership deals
  • Available on Pro and Team plans
