Redflaggr: frequently asked questions
Contract Red Flag Checker
How much does it cost?
₹199 in India or $4 elsewhere for one full contract review, including up to 3 revisions (for example: "make the email softer", "I'm actually the client, redo it from that side", "add a clause for my portfolio rights"). There is no subscription. The red flag scanner on this page is free and runs in your browser.
Is this a replacement for a lawyer?
No. It is a fast, careful first pass so you know what to negotiate, and it tells you when a lawyer is worth paying for (large deals, equity, personal guarantees, unlimited liability they refuse to cap, a dispute already started). If you do hire a lawyer, the review and your questions make that meeting shorter and cheaper.
Why not just paste the contract into ChatGPT?
You can. What you usually get is a long, unranked list of everything that could go wrong. Redflaggr is built for the decision: a sign / don't sign verdict, the 3 changes that matter most, a Must fix / Push / Fine to accept ranking, whether the clause is enforceable where you live, paste-ready rewrites with a fallback if they say no, and an email to send. It is also told never to invent clauses and to say "Not in the contract" when a protection is missing.
Is a non-compete clause enforceable?
It depends on where you are. In India, Section 27 of the Contract Act makes agreements in restraint of trade void, so non-competes that apply after the job or contract ends are generally not enforced (restrictions during the contract, confidentiality and reasonable non-solicit clauses are treated differently). In California they are void. In the UK they are enforced only if they protect a legitimate interest and are no wider than necessary. Most US states fall somewhere in between. Your review tells you the position for your location.
Can my employer make me pay the bond amount if I leave early?
In India, a bond cannot force you to keep working. Courts usually allow the employer to recover only reasonable, proven losses (such as genuine training costs), not an arbitrary penalty, under Section 74 of the Contract Act. The review flags bond, notice-buyout and clawback clauses and suggests fairer wording, such as reducing the amount month by month.
Is my contract kept private?
The contract is sent to the AI model only to produce your review. Don't include anything you are not allowed to share - you can delete bank details, ID numbers or personal names first; the review doesn't need them. The free red flag scanner runs entirely in your browser and uploads nothing.
How long can the contract be?
Up to 50,000 characters, roughly 20-25 pages. For longer agreements, paste the main agreement first and use a revision to review a schedule or SOW.
Which countries does it understand?
It has specific rules for India, the US (including California, New York and states with non-compete bans), the UK and the EU, and applies general contract principles elsewhere while telling you where local rules may differ.
Can I upload a PDF or Word file?
Not yet. Open the file, select all (Ctrl/Cmd + A), copy and paste the text. Include schedules and the SOW if they are separate documents, because that is often where payment and scope live.
