Our Values
Everything we do is guided by four core principles:
Clarity
We believe everyone deserves to understand what they're agreeing to — not just lawyers. Complex legal language shouldn't be a barrier to informed decision-making.
Privacy
Your text is never stored or shared. We don't keep a copy of what you upload or paste. Ever. Your documents are processed and immediately discarded.
Simplicity
No complicated sign-up, no jargon, no fluff. Just paste, click, and read. We focus on making complex things simple, not simple things complex.
Accessibility
Our tool is designed to work for all — whether you're neurodivergent, non-native English speaking, or just fed up with legal waffle.
What We Don't Do
Important Legal Disclaimer
TermsToText is not a replacement for legal advice. We summarize and simplify content to help you understand the general meaning, but for important decisions (like signing a mortgage, major business deal, or complex contract), you should always consult a qualified solicitor or legal professional.

Free legal resources and attorney directory
