Inkhold reads the fine print so you don't have to — auto-flagging predatory payment terms, NDA overreach, and IP grabs, then generating negotiation scripts tailored to your client.
"Client retains all rights to deliverables and any related background IP used in their creation..."
"Payment is contingent on final approval, which may be withheld at client's sole discretion..."
"Contractor may not disclose the existence or subject matter of this agreement to any third party..."
Negotiation script generated ↓
"I'd like to adjust Clause 4 so that background IP I bring to the project remains mine. I'm happy to assign all new deliverables to you outright..."
The problem
Vague deliverables and approval-based payment clauses let clients expand scope indefinitely — or withhold payment for any reason.
"Additional revisions as reasonably requested by client at no extra charge..."
Broad NDAs that ban you from listing the project in your portfolio or mentioning the client's name — for years after the work is done.
"Contractor shall not disclose any aspect of this engagement or the work produced..."
Blanket IP grabs claiming ownership of everything you produce — including tools, frameworks, and methods you built years prior.
"All work product and background IP is hereby irrevocably assigned to Client..."
