Contract Review for Software Developers & Engineers
Guard your codebase and your income. We help developers identify IP theft, unlimited warranty traps, and predatory payment milestones.
Common Software Developer Risks
IP Ownership
Hidden 'Work for Hire' clauses that strip you of rights to your reusable internal libraries and frameworks.
Milestone Creep
Vague 'Project Completion' definitions that allow clients to delay payment indefinitely.
Unlimited Indemnity
Liability clauses that could make you personally responsible for the client's own security failures.
The Bottom Line
“As a developer, your code is your currency. Don't sign a contract that treats it like a commodity. ClearTerm provides the 'legal pre-commit' you need to ship with confidence.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a client own my private source code tools?
Only if you sign a broad IP assignment. ClearTerm flags 'retained rights' clauses so you keep what's yours.
What is a 'Net-90' payment term?
It means you wait 3 months after work is done to get paid. We help you negotiate for Net-15 or upfront deposits.
