Contract reader

You need this if…

• Someone sends a twelve-page agreement and wants it back signed by Friday.
• You skim to the signature line and hope.
• You’d call your lawyer, but it’s a small contract and you’re not sure it’s worth the bill.

01What it reads

• Files
• Email

02What you get

A plain-English summary of what you’re agreeing to, with anything unusual or one-sided flagged and a few questions to raise before you sign.

03What stays with you

It won’t sign or agree to anything, and because it is not legal advice, the call on what to sign stays with you and your lawyer.

04How you ask

“Anything strange in this agreement?”

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then add your own material where it says so. Take out card numbers, passwords and anything private about other people first.

I've been sent a contract and I want to understand it before I sign. I know you're not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. I just want a clear read.

My role: [e.g. I'm the vendor / I'm the client / I'm renting the space]

Please:

When it runs on its own.

Drop a contract in its folder or forward it to yourself, and the summary shows up next to the original file. Every summary says plainly at the top that it is not legal advice.

That’s what Second Nature is: this job and 9 to 11 more like it, set up on your own computer around how you work, with me.
