Contract Review for Virtual Assistants & Online Managers
Minimize administrative liability. We help VAs identify 24/7 availability traps and tool subscription liability.
ClearTerm is tuned for software-freelancer client MSAs. The headline checks are work-for-hire and reusable code, payment windows, and uncapped indemnity, plus liability and termination. Other profession pages describe overlapping contractor-side risks — they are not a separate product or a different AI model.
In short: Using ClearTerm's software-freelancer MSA checks, virtual assistants can surface overlapping contractor risks such as unbounded availability, one-sided termination, and shifted tool costs. There is no separate VA model.
Common virtual assistant contract risks
- Availability Traps
- Expectations of 'immediate response' without defined business hours or emergency surcharges.
- Tool Liability
- Requirement to use your own professional tool licenses without reimbursement or indemnity.
- Notice Periods
- One-way termination clauses that let clients fire you instantly but require you to give 30 days' notice.
How ClearTerm helps
ClearTerm still runs the same MSA checks. VA agreements often collide with those checks on termination, liability, and unbounded scope — it is not a VA-specific scanner.
ClearTerm is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. For a high-stakes agreement, have a qualified lawyer review it.
Virtual Assistant contract questions
Am I responsible for client tool costs?
No. You should be reimbursed. We highlight where costs are unfairly shifted to you.
Should I work 24/7?
No. ClearTerm flags unbounded availability expectations and suggests asking for defined business hours or an urgent-work surcharge.
