SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Consumers rarely read or understand Terms of Service, user agreements, and privacy policies, leaving them exposed to unfair clauses, hidden data authorizations, and auto-renewal traps. This Skill systematically audits those documents from a consumer standpoint and produces an actionable risk report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seven-Category Risk Framework: Flags unfair clauses, covert data authorization, auto-renewal traps, unilateral amendment rights, excessive liability disclaimers, dispute resolution restrictions, and IP overreach.
  • Structured Audit Report: Outputs severity-rated findings with original-text quotes, plain-language explanations, concealment and actionability scores, plus prioritized consumer action items.
  • Regulatory Context: References Chinese regulations (Consumer Protection Law, PIPL, E-Commerce Law) and international frameworks (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, FTC guidelines) for comparative grounding.
  • Use Case: Paste a SaaS subscription agreement and receive a report highlighting an auto-renewal clause that bills 72 hours before expiration with no pro-rata refund, rated by severity with concrete steps the consumer can take.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a Terms of Service for unfair clauses?▼

Paste the full terms text or provide a file path, and the agent scans it across seven risk categories including unfair clauses, data authorization, and auto-renewal traps. It outputs a structured report quoting each risky clause with severity ratings and consumer recommendations.

What risks can a privacy policy review detect?▼

The review detects excessive data collection, vague third-party sharing, opt-out-by-default tracking, unclear retention periods, and undisclosed cross-border transfers. Each finding is evaluated for severity, concealment, and whether the consumer can act on it.

Can this detect auto-renewal traps in subscription agreements?▼

Yes, it flags trial-to-paid auto-conversion, complex cancellation processes, early billing windows, missing pro-rata refunds, and silent price changes. It checks whether renewal disclosure and cancellation ease meet reasonable consumer standards.

Does the audit report constitute legal advice?▼

No, the report explicitly states it is for reference only and does not constitute legal counsel. The audit does not determine legal enforceability of clauses and may suggest consulting a lawyer for serious concerns.

What regulations does the Terms of Service audit reference?▼

The audit references Chinese regulations including the Consumer Protection Law, PIPL, E-Commerce Law, and Cybersecurity Law, plus international frameworks like GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and FTC consumer protection guidelines for comparative context.
