Simpleterms

SimpleTerms evens the playing field for consumers by providing a complete solution to quickly and conveniently read, understand, manage and take action on any contract. Our SimpleTerms Reader groups and highlights the key clauses and summarizes the most critical points in a contract into short, easy-to-read snippets. You can pick and choose what you need when you need it. You can get some helpful tips along the way, whether it’s when you’re about to enter a new deal or when you need to look something up later on. You can rest assured that we’ll be tracking important dates so you won’t forget. From auto insurance policies to home purchases, a cell phone contract to the warranty on your fridge, we strive to give you peace of mind when you sign. Today, people don’t have the time or patience to read, much less try to understand, the agreements they enter. They’re too long. They’re written in a language for lawyers, by lawyers. They can’t be changed even if we tried. As consumers, we accept any contract put in front of us without a passing glance and risk missing countless opportunities to negotiate a better deal, to not get locked into a longer term or to protect ourselves and our data. We risk not knowing how much we will have to pay (with all the extras) or whether the rules and restrictions we are signing up for are fair. We risk being at a major disadvantage if, or more likely when, something goes wrong. Contracts were never meant to be one-sided. Since documents can now be digitally signed in an instant, whether for a multi-million-dollar purchase or your health and well-being, consumers will be faced with a choice. We can continue to blindly ‘Click to Accept’. Or, we can take a brief pause to make sure our best interests are covered and do something about it when they’re not. We think we know what most people will want to do. So, we’re here to help put things into SimpleTerms that anyone can understand.
