Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?+

No — Scofflaw is a first-pass self-help tool, not the final word. See our Terms for the full disclaimer.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT is a blank box. Scofflaw is built for legal documents — trained on nearly two decades of real legal correspondence and documents, not generic internet text. Reviews come back structured into risk flags, missing terms, suggested revisions, and questions for counsel; drafts come back as a structured first pass from a 20+ template library, jurisdiction-aware — neither of which a general chatbot will give you.

Who is Scofflaw for?+

Small business owners, contractors, freelancers, founders — anyone who signs real agreements without a lawyer on call. Most legal AI is built for law firms and in-house legal teams, with pricing and onboarding to match. Scofflaw is built for everyone else: sign up in a browser, pay consumer prices, and get a structured, lawyer-like first pass on the documents you actually sign.

What's included in the Free plan?+

5 first-pass reviews and 5 first-pass drafts per month, the full template library, jurisdiction-aware guidance, and watermarked exports — enough to try both sides of Scofflaw before committing to a paid plan.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Plans are month-to-month or annual with no long-term contract.

Do you support multiple jurisdictions?+

Yes — jurisdiction-aware guidance is included on every plan, Free included. Coverage is expanding; see Pricing for the full breakdown by tier.

What's the Lawyer Review add-on?+

An optional add-on on the Business+ plan that routes a document to a licensed professional for human review, on top of the AI review and draft.

Is Scofflaw an AI legal assistant?+

For the documents, yes — an AI legal assistant for reviewing and drafting, not for legal advice. It reads the agreement, structures the risks and missing terms, and prepares your questions for counsel. It is not a lawyer and not a law firm.

Do I still need a lawyer?+

Sometimes, yes — and Scofflaw will say so. It's built for the first pass, not the final word. When the stakes are high, when you're in a dispute, or when a flag needs judgment on your specific facts, it hands you the risks mapped and the exact questions to bring to counsel — so the lawyer's hour goes further.

Is my data confidential?+

Confidentiality is a non-negotiable in how Scofflaw is built. Documents you upload are used only to serve your reviews and drafts.
