Read the fine print, finally.
Our mission
We believe nobody should blindly agree to legal documents they don’t understand. Inspired by projects like ToS;DR, BeforeYouClick uses AI to break down complex Terms & Conditions so you can see what you're actually agreeing to.
Our analyzer identifies critical clauses, assigns risk levels, and provides plain-English summaries so you can make informed decisions about the services you use.
How it works
Find a service
Browse the apps and sites we've already analyzed.
Check the grade
Each service gets an A–E score for how fair its terms are.
Read what matters
Skim the critical clauses and the plain-English summary.
How an analysis is made
Every grade on this site is produced the same way. Here is the whole process.
Where does the text come from?
- We read the company's own published documents. A crawler starts at the service's site, follows its links to the terms of service, user agreement and privacy policy, and collects the full text of each — no summaries, no third-party copies.
How are clauses identified?
- The collected text is read by an AI model, which isolates individual clauses, classifies each one as critical, a warning or a good practice, and writes a plain-English explanation of what it means for you. Each finding is anchored to a verbatim excerpt from the source document — that excerpt is quoted on the analysis page so you can check our reading against the original wording.
How is the grade calculated?
- The A–E grade comes from the mix and severity of what was found: how many critical clauses there are, how many warnings, and how many genuine protections offset them. A means few or no clauses that work against you; E means an agreement that is heavily one-sided.
What about terms that differ by country?
- Some companies publish different terms for different regions. Where an agreement has region-specific content, we analyze and grade each region separately, and the page lets you switch between them.
How current is an analysis?
- Every analysis page shows the date we last read that agreement. Companies change their terms whenever they like and usually without notice, so treat an analysis as a picture of that date and check the original document before you rely on it.
What if an analysis is wrong?
- It can be. The analysis is AI-generated and is not legal advice, and a model can misread a clause or miss one entirely. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will re-check that agreement — the contact address is in the footer.
The grading system
BeforeYouClick is an informational tool. Our analyses are AI-generated, can be wrong or incomplete, and are not legal advice. Use them as a starting point, read the original documents, and talk to a qualified lawyer before you make a decision that matters.
