What this review does not do

It reads the words of your document. It does not check the document against Canadian law, and it is not legal advice.

So it will not tell you, for example, whether you would count as an employee or an independent contractor, which tax or registration rules apply to you, or what your province's or territory's employment standards say. Those depend on federal and provincial rules and on facts outside the document.

Local rules can override what a contract says, so treat the findings as questions to raise, not as a legal ruling.

Your words, and what the report calls them

An independent contractor agreement is what the rest of this site calls a freelance contract. The report reads the wording in your document, whatever it is called.

Six things the report looks for in a contractor agreement

When you get paid.

Invoice timing, the payment period, and whether the agreement names a late-payment fee or interest.

Scope of the work.

What the statement of work or schedule of services covers, how many revisions are included, and what happens to work outside it.

Who owns the work.

Who owns what you make, when the rights move, and whether anything you already owned goes with it — including any waiver of moral rights.

Ending the agreement.

Whether the client can end it without cause, how much notice is given, and what you are paid for work already done.

Promises after it ends.

Non-solicitation, non-competition and confidentiality terms: how long they last and what they cover.

Who carries the risk.

Indemnity and liability wording, whether there is a cap, and which province's law and courts the agreement names for a dispute.

Questions people ask

Is the contractor agreement review free?

Yes — your first analysis is free for good, one contract per account, no card. You get the risk score and every finding by name, with the two most important explained in full. The rest are listed but locked until you unlock the report for $9 or start a plan.

Does it check my agreement against Canadian or provincial law?

No. It reads your agreement and explains what it says. It does not apply Canadian law or the rules of your province or territory, and those rules can override what the agreement says. If the agreement names a province's law, that choice is one of the terms it reads; the law itself is not applied.

Does it work for a consulting agreement or a statement of work?

Yes. Anything that sets out the work you will do and what you will be paid can be analysed the same way, whatever it is called.

Will it tell me whether I am an employee or a contractor?

It will point out the terms that usually come up in that conversation — control, exclusivity, equipment, who sets the hours — but the classification itself depends on rules where you are, and that is a question for a professional.

Can AI check a contract for me?

It can give you a first read: what the clauses say, which terms usually matter, and what people often ask to change. It does not apply the law of any particular country to your document, and it is not legal advice — we are not a law firm. For a high-stakes contract, a lawyer is still the right call.

Is my agreement private?

It is private to your account and is never used to train models. Uploaded files are deleted after 30 days. From 30 September 2026, your report stays in your account until you delete it.
