§ Terms of Service

The deal between us
in plain English.

Last updated: 2026. Effective immediately. By using FinePrint you agree to these terms.

The most important thing FinePrint is a sharper read of your contract — a thinking partner that surfaces what's worth asking about. It is not a substitute for an attorney. For any binding decision on your deal, a licensed real-estate attorney is the right call. We're built to make their time more valuable, not to replace them.

1. What FinePrint is — and isn't

FinePrint is an AI-powered contract reader. It surfaces clauses an attorney would normally flag, translates dense legal language into plain English, and rates the risk to you given your side of the deal. That makes you a sharper client.

It is not legal advice, and we are not your lawyer. Using FinePrint does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction. For binding decisions — signing, refusing to sign, suing, defending — please consult a licensed real-estate attorney in your state. We always recommend it.

2. What you can do

  • Upload or paste a real-estate contract you have a legitimate interest in — yours, your client's, your investment, your family's.
  • Use the briefing to inform your own decisions and your conversations with your agent and attorney.
  • Share the report PDF with your agent, lender, counterparty, or counsel.
  • Self-host the open-source engine under the MIT license, with your own infrastructure and API key.

3. What you can't do

  • Upload someone else's contract you have no business interest in.
  • Upload anything you don't have legal authority to share with a third-party processor.
  • Re-sell FinePrint analysis as a branded paid service without a separate written agreement.
  • Attempt to attack, overload, or reverse-engineer the hosted infrastructure. The engine is open source — fork it freely, don't break our servers.
  • Use FinePrint to draft contracts on behalf of a client without disclosing that AI was used in your workflow.

4. Accounts

You don't need an account to use FinePrint. It's free, anonymous, and unlimited (subject to fair use). If we ever add accounts for hosted team features, those will be optional and we'll explain what's stored before you sign up.

5. Pricing

FinePrint is free. There is no subscription, no Pro tier, no card on file. If that ever changes, the change is announced at least thirty days in advance on the pricing page, and the free tier doesn't shrink.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

FinePrint is provided as-is. We don't warrant that:

  • The analysis is complete or error-free. No analysis is — including a fifteen-hundred-dollar attorney's first pass.
  • The service will be uninterrupted. We try.
  • The results will fit your specific deal in every state and county. They usually will. Local quirks exist.

Use the briefing as a starting point for an informed conversation with a professional — not as a final answer.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, FinePrint's total liability to you in connection with FinePrint is capped at one hundred U.S. dollars. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages — including, importantly, the outcome of any real-estate transaction.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits. Where the law overrides this clause, the law wins.

8. Open-source license

The FinePrint engine, prompts, and frontend code are released under the MIT License (see /LICENSE). You may use, modify, sublicense, and distribute under those terms. These Terms cover our hosted service — not the self-hosted code, which you're free to run on your own infrastructure.

9. Termination

You can stop using FinePrint at any time. We can suspend access for anyone violating these terms, with notice and a reasonable cure period, except in cases of obvious abuse where immediate suspension is necessary to protect the service.

10. Changes to these terms

If we change anything that materially affects your rights, we'll post the change at least fourteen days before it takes effect, with a summary at the top of this page. We won't retroactively apply a weaker policy to data already collected.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.
