Ink Clause

Contract triage for freelance graphic designers who want faster yeses and fewer expensive surprises.

Founding release for design freelancers

Catch predatory clauses before they eat the project.

Ink Clause scans freelance design contracts for the language that quietly drains margin, scope, and future client freedom. Start with the instant browser scan. Escalate to a paid founding review when the deal is worth protecting.

Spots non-competes, unpaid revisions, and all-rights grabs
Translates clauses into leverage, not legal jargon
Escalates to a human founding scan when the draft gets serious

Instant scan

A fast pressure test for the clauses designers get trapped by.

This launch version uses rule-based detection for common freelance contract traps. It is intentionally quick, transparent, and useful before you decide whether the contract deserves paid review.

How it works

01

Paste the draft

Drop in the contract text you received from a client. The instant scan runs locally in the browser.

02

See pressure points

Ink Clause highlights the language that usually costs freelance designers money, time, or future client access.

03

Upgrade if it matters

The founding scan turns the flagged clauses into a sharper, client-ready negotiation plan for your real project.

Why this service exists

Design freelancers are often asked to sign legal terms written for agencies with leverage.

Ink Clause narrows the problem to one painful moment: a client sends a contract and expects a same-day yes. The instant scan creates momentum. The founding review converts that momentum into a negotiation position you can actually use.

Built for

Freelance brand designers, illustrators, and art directors handling project-based client agreements.

Launch promise

One service. One checkout. One outcome: fewer silent clauses that turn a good project into cheap labor.
