FAQ
Before you add it to Word.
Is Contract Definitions free to use?
Yes. The Word add-in is free to use, and its source code is available on GitHub.
Does the add-in upload contract text?
No. Contract analysis runs client-side, and the add-in does not send document content to a processing server.
Does inline mode change the contract text?
No. Inline markers are visual annotations used by the add-in; they do not rewrite the underlying contract language.
Can I inspect how it works?
Yes. The project is open source, including the definition parser and the Word integration.
Which contracts are supported?
Contract Definitions is designed for English-language contracts and common definitions-section structures. Unusual or ambiguous drafting may not be detected correctly.
