Frequently Asked Questions

Legal Chain is an AI-powered legal technology platform that helps individuals, businesses, and legal professionals draft, review, and manage legal documents faster. A blockchain trust layer for tamper-evident document integrity is in development. Legal Chain is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

No. Legal Chain is a software technology platform and does not provide legal advice. For high-stakes legal matters, always consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. Legal Chain's Global Lawyer Finder can connect you with vetted local counsel at no charge.

Legal Chain serves a wide range of users: startups drafting investor NDAs, attorneys speeding up review workflows, paralegals extracting clauses, freelancers creating service agreements, nonprofits managing compliance documents, and enterprise legal teams handling high-volume contracting.

Legal Chain is a US-based legal technology company founded in Newport Beach, California. Our services are available globally.

Legal Chain supports multiple contract types including NDAs, mutual NDAs, service agreements, master service agreements, vendor contracts, SOWs, SAFE notes, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, LLC operating agreements, terms of service, privacy policies, lease agreements, and general commercial contracts.

Legal Chain uses structured clause libraries and AI to generate documents based on your inputs. The AI applies standard legal frameworks for each document type. Always review AI-generated documents before signing. For high-stakes matters, have a licensed attorney review the final version.

Legal Chain's risk scoring analyses uploaded contracts clause by clause, flags potentially risky or unusual language, and provides a plain-language summary of what each section means and how it compares to standard industry norms. Available as an add-on on Free and Silver plans; included from Gold onwards.

Yes. Upload any PDF or Word document and Legal Chain's AI will review it, extract key clauses, score risk, and summarise it in plain language. This is available on all plans including the free plan.

The Global Lawyer Finder connects you with vetted attorneys licensed in your jurisdiction at no charge. It is available on every plan. Use it when a matter requires licensed legal counsel beyond what an AI platform can provide.

This is in development. Once live, Legal Chain will create a SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint of your document and anchor it permanently to the Polygon L2 network or Ethereum Mainnet, creating a tamper-evident record with a timestamp — so that if anyone modifies the document after anchoring, the hash changes and the alteration becomes immediately detectable.

Blockchain anchoring is in development. Once live, it will provide tamper-evident proof of a document's contents and timestamp at the time of anchoring — but it will not be a substitute for proper execution of a contract. Legal enforceability depends on the laws of your jurisdiction and how the document was signed.

Blockchain anchoring is in development. Once live, planned pricing is Polygon L2 anchoring as an add-on at $0.10 per document, and Ethereum Mainnet notarisation at $9.99 per document plus applicable gas fees, with Polygon L2 notarisation included in the Platinum plan. All anchoring add-ons will be flat rate with no annual discount.

Both are in development. Once live, Polygon L2 anchoring will offer very low gas fees and fast confirmation while still providing cryptographic tamper-evidence; Ethereum Mainnet anchoring will use the primary Ethereum network for maximum verifiability, best for high-value or regulatory-sensitive documents.

Yes. The Bronze free plan is $0 and includes contract creation, analysis, and comparison within a 50,000 token monthly cap (~5 standard contracts or ~75 pages). Access to all supported contract types, 1 user seat, and 1 GB encrypted storage. No credit card required. Token usage is hard-capped with no overages.

Silver is $159.99 per month (5 seats, 1.5M tokens/mo, 250 GB), Gold is $299.99 per month (7 seats, 3.5M tokens/mo, 500 GB), Platinum is $384.99 per month (10 seats, 5.5M tokens/mo, 1 TB), and Enterprise pricing is custom (20 seats, 20M tokens/mo, 2 TB+). Annual billing saves approximately 20 percent on all paid plans.

Yes. Discounted annual pricing is available for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits and eligible educational institutions. Silver nonprofit pricing starts at $95.99 per month, Gold at $179.99 per month, and Platinum at $230.99 per month on annual billing. Contact Legal Chain to apply with proof of nonprofit status.

Yes. Attorney review is available as an add-on at $349.99 per document ($299.99 with annual billing). A licensed attorney reviews and validates your document with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround, matched to your jurisdiction. Paralegal review is available at $149.99 per document ($119.99 annual). Both are available on all plans.

Only Attorney Review ($299.99 annual vs $349.99 monthly) and Paralegal Review ($119.99 annual vs $149.99 monthly) carry annual discounts. All other add-ons including AI Risk Scoring, blockchain anchoring, Extra Storage, and Extra User Seats are flat rate.

Legal Chain uses AES-256 encryption for all documents at rest and in transit. Data is stored in encrypted vaults with full audit logs, version history, and role-based access controls. Legal Chain does not sell your data to third parties.

Yes. Legal Chain is aligned with GDPR and CCPA requirements across all plans. The Platinum plan adds HIPAA-aware controls for regulated industries. The Enterprise plan includes a Business Associate Agreement and full compliance export capabilities.

The Platinum plan includes HIPAA-aware document controls for organizations in regulated healthcare industries. A Business Associate Agreement is available with the Enterprise plan for organizations that require it.

The Enterprise plan includes SOC 2-aligned security controls and architecture. Contact Legal Chain for compliance documentation if your organization requires it for vendor review.

A biometric signature is an advanced form of electronic signature that captures unique personal biological or behavioral identifiers to authenticate a signer's identity and link them irrefutably to a document. Unlike a typed name or a static signature image, this data cannot easily be forged: dynamic traits include writing speed, acceleration, pen tilt, stroke sequence, pauses, and applied pressure captured on a touchscreen or stylus pad; biological traits include fingerprint scans, facial recognition, or iris scans captured during signing.

Not yet — it is in development. Once live, planned pricing is $2.30 per signature for direct use, $1.15 per event for wholesale licensing in the United States, and $0.58 per event for wholesale licensing rest-of-world. Pricing is subject to change before launch.

Captured biometric data is designed to be encrypted and embedded directly into the signed document, working toward compliance with standards like the U.S. ESIGN Act and EU eIDAS regulation. In the event of a legal dispute, handwriting experts or technical audits can use this data to verify the signer's identity with high precision.

Dedicated e-signature tools such as DocuSign or ValidatedID specialize in collecting the wet-ink or biometric touch input itself on a tablet or stylus pad. Legal Chain is instead building toward securing and verifying contract authenticity around that signature process: generating a SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint of the agreement, its audit trail, and associated metadata, then anchoring that record to a public or hybrid blockchain once the agreement is executed. This capability, like biometric signature capture itself, is currently in development.

Once live, Legal Chain will permanently anchor the cryptographic record on-chain once an agreement and its authentication data are executed. If biometric data, timestamping, or verification metadata was captured at the point of signing, this blockchain layer is designed to ensure that neither the document nor its biometric verification trail can be altered retroactively. Both the blockchain trust layer and biometric signature capture are currently in development.
