The problem

Contracts are written to be signed. Not understood.

Legal language wasn't designed for you — it was designed to protect whoever wrote it. The result is a system where most people sign blind.

0%

The pattern, every time

  1. 1

    Contract arrives

    40 pages, dense legal language, tight deadline.

  2. 2

    Skim, not read

    Most people scroll to the signature line in minutes.

  3. 3

    Uncertainty sets in

    Something feels off, but there's no time to call a lawyer.

  4. 4

    Sign anyway

    Deadlines win. The contract gets signed unread.

  5. 5

    Issues surface later

    Auto-renewals, penalties, and caps appear — after it's binding.

What the contract says

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Licensee's indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement in perpetuity and shall not be subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 9.1.

What BeforeSign tells you

Even after this contract ends, you must keep covering the other party's legal costs forever — and that promise isn't capped, unlike everything else in the agreement.

Instant. No blurring, no legal degree required.

No refund, no exceptions

There is zero flexibility here — even in cases of service failure, you forfeit the entire payment.
