# GigTerms

> GigTerms is software that helps freelancers and solo founders understand a client contract before they sign. Upload a B2B contract (PDF or DOCX) and it highlights the terms worth discussing and the protections that are missing, explains each one in plain language from your side of the deal, and suggests wording plus a short message you can send to the client. GigTerms is software, not a law firm: no person reviews your contract, and it is not legal advice.

GigTerms runs the commercial side of a freelancer's deal: agreeing the terms and getting paid are available today; finding clients is in development. Interface languages: English, Russian, German, Spanish, French. Contracts are analysed in their original language.

## What is available now

- **Contract check**: choose whether you are the contractor or the client; every clause is judged from that side. Contractors can save their own standard terms (deposit, payment days, revision rounds, required clauses, own rules); the report then shows which of them the contract meets, breaks or leaves out. Each finding is marked "fight", "negotiable" or "standard" so you know what to push on first. Long contracts are reviewed in sections, and the report says so if any part could not be covered. Scanned PDFs (up to 20 pages) are read from their page images. You can ask a short question about any finding (Free 3, Pro 50, Studio 200 a month); the answer uses that finding only.
- **Compare versions** (Pro and Studio): upload your original and the counterparty's edited version; see what changed and whether each change is better or worse for you.
- **Document templates** (Pro and Studio): NDA (mutual or one-way), freelance services agreement, change order, drafted from a few details.
- **Invoice generator** (all plans): create and print invoices. GigTerms does not send invoices or track payments.
- **Client message templates** (all plans): 12 ready messages, e.g. payment reminder, scope change, deposit request, rate increase.
- **Jurisdiction matcher** (all plans: 3 answers a month on Free, 20 a month on paid plans): public information on three countries where you could register a business, checked live against what your citizenship allows and where you live, with a checklist (questions for any agent, red flags, official sources). It never recommends specific firms. Not legal or tax advice.

## How contracts are handled

- The file is encrypted in your browser (AES-256-GCM) before upload. The key exists only for that one request and is never stored.
- The server decrypts the file in memory to analyse it, then deletes the file from storage.
- The full contract text is never written to the database or sent back to the browser. Only the analysis result (flagged clauses and short excerpts) is kept in your history until you delete it.
- Before contract text goes to the model, email addresses, phone numbers (international "+" format, US/Canada format, or after a label such as "Phone"), IBANs, card numbers, US social security numbers and labelled account numbers are replaced with placeholders and put back in the report. Other phone formats, names and addresses are sent as they are; scanned PDFs are sent as files and are not masked.
- Analysis uses Anthropic's Claude API; under Anthropic's API terms this data is not used to train models.
- Data is stored with Supabase in Frankfurt, Germany.
