See Which Contract Terms Deserve a Second Look

Paste a clause or section into @vustbot in Telegram. It explains the wording in plain English and points out terms that may carry risk: liability caps, indemnity, auto-renewal, termination, payment terms and IP assignment. Not legal advice; talk to a lawyer before signing anything material.

Scope

A plain-English read of the risk, not a legal opinion

@vustbot explains the text you paste and points out terms that commonly deserve attention, in general terms. It does not score clauses on a fixed scale, read PDF files or review the parts of a contract you did not paste. It does not know your jurisdiction or situation and can be wrong. Use it to decide what to ask, and have a qualified lawyer review anything material before you sign.

The exchange shown above is an example for illustration; your answer depends on the text you paste.

See the difference

Paste, read, follow up: how checking a clause works in the chat.

Step 1: paste the clause

What goes in

The clause or section itself, copied and pasted as text into the chat. Not a description of it: the actual wording, because risk lives in the exact words ('may terminate for convenience' reads very differently from 'may terminate for cause'). For a long contract, paste the sections you care about one at a time.

Why the real wording matters

An explanation is only as good as the text it reads. Working from the pasted wording means @vustbot comments on what the clause actually says, not on your memory of it.

Step 2: read the explanation (example)

An example exchange, for illustration

You paste: 'Vendor may terminate for convenience on 15 days' notice; Customer may terminate only for material breach.' @vustbot explains, in plain English, that the other side can walk away on short notice while you can leave only if they break the contract, and points out that this exit right runs one way. It then asks whether you want the liability or renewal sections read next.

What you get

A plain-English reading of the clause and the terms in it that commonly deserve attention: liability caps, indemnity, auto-renewal, termination, payment terms and IP assignment. The points are general, and they tell you where to look, not what to decide.

Step 3: ask what matters most, and know the limit

Follow up in the same chat

Ask @vustbot to sort the points it raised by how much they matter to you, to explain a term you don't recognise, or to suggest questions to raise with the other side. Each answer reflects the text you pasted and the questions you ask, so it can differ between conversations.

What this does not replace

This is a general explanation, not legal advice and not a legal opinion. It does not know your jurisdiction, your full contract or your situation, and it can miss things or get them wrong. Before signing anything material, have a qualified lawyer review it.
Practical use cases

Who a risk-tiered pass helps

Anyone facing a long contract
A multi-page services agreement with no obvious place to start reading
A scored triage — which clauses are High risk and worth real attention, which are unremarkable boilerplate.
Small teams without legal counsel on call
Deciding whether a contract needs a lawyer's time at all
A tiered summary that tells you whether this one is routine or has real red flags worth paying for review.
People who've been burned by a boilerplate skim
Wanting a consistent, repeatable check instead of a one-off read
The same clause categories tiered the same way every time — not dependent on how carefully you happened to read that day.
How it works01–03

The mechanics — intake, classify, tier, summarize

  1. 01

    Intake the real text

    The actual clause language, not a description of it — because risk lives in specific wording.

  2. 02

    Classify each clause

    Termination, liability, IP, indemnity, non-compete and more — sorted into known categories.

  3. 03

    Tier and summarize

    High/Medium/Low against common patterns, returned as one scored list instead of a wall of commentary.

Quality & trust

A heuristic, not a legal opinion

General chat, not a risk score

@vustbot discusses the risk in a pasted clause in plain English and can sort the points by how much they matter. There is no fixed, repeatable scoring, and it is not a legal opinion.

Not a certified risk assessment

Risk tiers are heuristics based on common patterns, not a lawyer's judgment. For a genuinely high-stakes contract, a lawyer's assessment still matters more.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I check a contract clause for risk with AI?

Open @vustbot in Telegram and paste the clause or section as text. It explains the wording in plain English and points out terms that may carry risk, such as liability caps, indemnity, auto-renewal, termination, payment terms and IP assignment. Your first answer is free, and you need no account beyond Telegram. The explanation is general information, not legal advice.

Can I upload the contract as a PDF or photo?

Paste the text. A clear photo of one page is read as text by an external service, so do not send personal documents; PDF files are not read. Copy the clauses you want explained and paste them in; for a long contract, send the sections that matter most one at a time.

Does it give each clause a High, Medium or Low risk score?

There is no fixed scoring system. You can ask @vustbot to sort the points it raised by how much they matter, and it will, but that ordering is a judgment in one conversation and can differ if you ask again. Treat it as a pointer to where to read carefully, not as a rating.

Is this the same as a legal risk assessment?

No. A legal risk assessment weighs your jurisdiction, your specific situation and case law, and it comes from a qualified lawyer. @vustbot gives a general explanation of the wording you paste. It is not legal advice or a legal opinion, and it can be wrong or incomplete. Before signing anything material, or in any dispute, consult a lawyer.

How is this different from the AI Contract Reviewer page?

Same chat, different question. /ai-contract-reviewer covers getting a plain-English summary of a clause or section. This page focuses on the risk side: which terms in the pasted text deserve a second look and why. Both use @vustbot with pasted text.

Which contracts can I use this on?

Any contract whose text you can paste: services agreements, vendor contracts, leases, employment offers. The clause types that tend to carry risk, such as termination, liability, IP and indemnity, recur across contract types even though the wording differs. For NDAs, the free NDA analyzer page covers the points specific to them, such as direction, duration and non-solicit scope.
