Contract risk, read on your device

Read the fine print before you sign.

Basop is Afrikaans for be careful. Paste an agreement and it shows you the clauses that can cost you money, quoted word for word, plus the protections that should be there and are not.

No account. No upload. It flags clauses for you, it does not give legal advice.

What it looks for

The clauses that actually cost people.

Check your own

The term renews itself

Evergreen clauses that roll the contract over unless you remember to cancel inside a narrow window.

Restraint of trade

How long you are barred, how wide the radius is, and whether it is even enforceable in South Africa.

Liability caps and indemnities

Who pays when things go wrong, and which direction the indemnity runs.

Your work becomes theirs

IP assignment clauses that claim everything you think of, on or off the clock.

Fixed penalties

Liquidated damages that dwarf any real loss, and the deposit that is never returned.

What is not there at all

No notice period, no joint inspection, no escalation clause. The missing protections hurt more than the bad ones.

How it works

Three steps, no sign-up.

01

Paste the contract

Text, PDF or DOCX. It stays in your browser tab: there is no upload, no account and no server to leak it.

02

A rule engine reads it

79 rules across seven contract types match clause by clause. Every hit is quoted from your document, so nothing is invented.

03

You get a list, not a lecture

A score, the clauses that cost you money, the protections that are missing, and what to ask for before you sign.

On privacy

Your contract never leaves this browser.

There is no backend to send it to. Analysis runs in the tab, and the only copy of your document is the one saved in this browser's own storage, which you can wipe in Settings at any time.

SAMPLE RISK SCORE

38/100

Review before signing.

Eight clauses favour the other side, and the agreement is missing three protections you would expect. The restraint and the IP assignment are the two worth fighting.

Read the next one before you sign it.

Takes about a minute. Works on a phone.
