Most freelance contracts are written for the client, not for you

When a client sends you a service agreement, it has been written to protect them. Buried in it are the few clauses that decide whether the deal is fair: payment terms, IP ownership, liability, post-project restrictions, confidentiality, and termination. The rest is mostly boilerplate.

Miss one of those six and you can end up handing over your IP, accepting unlimited liability, or agreeing not to work with similar clients for a year. Most freelancers sign anyway, because legal language is built to be read by lawyers, not the person being handed the contract.

Ookulli reads it for you, in minutes, against UK law, and shows you exactly where the risks are.

What you get back

Plain-English summary

A concise summary of what the contract actually commits you to, written for a normal person, not a solicitor. Understand the whole agreement in minutes instead of an evening of dense legal prose.

Expert-designed highlights

Automatic flags on the clauses that matter: risky terms, missing protections, and anything unusual. Each highlight tells you what it is, why it matters, and how UK law treats it, so you know what is standard and what is worth challenging.

Interactive contract chat

Ask anything about your contract and get a straight answer. Follow up on a single clause, check what a term means, or ask how to push back, on your schedule and at no extra cost.

Why freelancers use Ookulli

Affordable

A solicitor charges £200 to £400 an hour. Ookulli reviews a contract from £10, with no subscription.

Clear

Legal jargon translated into plain language you can act on, not a generic AI summary that ignores the UK.

On demand

No appointment, no waiting for a callback. Upload a contract the moment it lands in your inbox.

Empowering

Walk into the conversation knowing what is fair, what is not, and exactly what to ask for.

1

Payment terms

What you are paid, when, and what happens if the client pays late. Thirty days is the line. Anything longer, or no late-payment provision at all, is worth challenging.

2

IP ownership

Who owns the work you create. Watch for clauses that hand over IP before you have been paid, or that claim rights to work created in your own time.

3

Liability

What you are on the hook for if something goes wrong. A fair cap is the value of the contract. No cap at all leaves your exposure theoretically unlimited.

4

Post-project restrictions.

Non-competes and non-solicitation clauses that limit who you can work with after the project ends. In UK law these are only enforceable if reasonable in scope and duration.

5

Confidentiality

What you must keep private, for how long, and whether the obligation runs both ways. One-sided or indefinite confidentiality is a red flag.

6

Termination

How either side can end the agreement, and the notice required. Look for a notice period you can actually use, not just one that protects the client.

For example, a single line like "the Supplier's liability under this Agreement shall be unlimited" can quietly expose you to far more than the job is worth. Ookulli flags it, explains it against the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, and tells you what a reasonable cap looks like.

How it works

How it works

1

Upload your contract

Drop in a service agreement, employment contract, or NDA. It takes seconds.

2

See the flagged clauses

Ookulli highlights the risky and unusual terms, explains each one in plain English, and links it to the relevant UK law.

3

Ask follow-up questions

Use the chat to dig into anything, then decide with confidence whether to sign, negotiate, or walk away.

Your contract stays private

Your documents are confidential, and we treat them that way.

And every flag shows its source. You see the exact clause it refers to and the exact UK law it is assessed against, so you are never asked to trust a black box. If you would rather not upload a real document to a generic tool at all, here is why that is a risk and how to anonymise first, though with Ookulli you do not need to.

Never used to train AI models. Full stop.

No third-party sharing or access beyond what is strictly required to run the review.

Compliant with UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

Built for sensitive documents like employment contracts and NDAs.

Infrastructure is AWS Well-Architected and independently reviewed by StormIT, so you can trust it is built right.
