Question 1

How do I check a lease or contract for hidden traps?

Accepted Answer

Paste the agreement text or upload a photo of your contract. FinePrint scans 50+ known predatory patterns, flags automatic renewal traps, hidden fees, entry waivers, and generates redline counter-proposals.

Question 2

What is an automatic lease renewal trap?

Accepted Answer

A clause requiring written cancellation notice 60 to 90 days prior to lease end. Missing this window allows the landlord to automatically lock you into another full year or impose a 30%–50% month-to-month penalty rate.

Question 3

Is certified mail cancellation legal for online services?

Accepted Answer

Under the FTC Click-to-Cancel rule, companies cannot force customers to mail physical letters or cancel in person if they enrolled online. Cancellation must be as simple as signup.

Question 4

Can I negotiate an apartment lease or contractor agreement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Landlords and clients frequently accept standard redline revisions to entry notice, notice windows, and liability caps when presented professionally.

Question 5

Does FinePrint store or upload my contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. FinePrint processes all text and images 100% on your device using local JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your legal documents never leave your browser.
