Nobody should sign something they don’t understand.

Each side gets its own private Lex. You have yours, they have theirs. It explains every clause in plain English, to both of you.

Lex drafts and explains. It never sends or signs.

Not legal advice.

Only Northwind sees this Lex

What does clause 5 mean for us?

Lex10:24

If something goes wrong, the most either of you can claim from the other is 9 months of fees. The cap is the same for both of you.

Ask Lex anything

Your contracts stay yours.

Trust
  • Only the two sides can see a contract

    The people you invite, and the people they add. Nobody else, and never listed or searchable.

  • Each side's Lex is private

    Your questions, notes and playbook stay on your side. The other side never sees them.

  • Every version kept, nothing edited silently

    Each change shows who proposed it and when it was accepted. Signatures stay with the exact words signed.

  • Signed copies you can download and keep

    Both sides get the signed contract and its signing record. Keep it for as long as you like.

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest

    HTTPS everywhere. The database, files and backups are encrypted on disk.

  • How contract text is used

    Free and Plus may use de-identified content from your own side to improve Lex, with an opt-out in Settings. Pro, Team and Enterprise content is never used, and the other side's content is never used.
