Is this legal advice?

No. It tells you what the text says, in plain words. It does not tell you whether a clause is fair, enforceable or right for you. Ask a lawyer for that.

Why keep some legal terms?

Because you will meet them again, in the rest of the contract or in a reply. A term that matters stays, with a short plain explanation the first time.

What if a clause can be read two ways?

It is not resolved by guessing. The clause keeps its wording and you see “Unclear in the original” with the question to ask.

Example: 38 words · 2 terms explained · every fact kept

Original

The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Supplier from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of the Customer’s breach of clause 7, save to the extent caused by the Supplier’s own negligence.

Result

If you break clause 7 and the Supplier faces claims, losses or liabilities because of it, you must cover them. This is called “indemnify”.

This does not apply to the part caused by the Supplier’s own negligence (carelessness).

Kept: clause 7
Kept: claims, losses or liabilities
Kept: own negligence

How Simplify works

Step 01
Every passage is rated
On one six-step scale for every language, from very simple to expert, and checked for unexplained terms and instructions that read two ways.
Step 02
Only hard passages change
Passages already at your reader's level stay word for word.
Step 03
Terms are explained, not removed
A term the reader will meet elsewhere stays, with a short plain explanation the first time.
Step 04
Meaning is checked
Every must, may, unless, deadline and number has to survive, or the passage keeps its original words.

Options

Reader: General audience, customers, patients, second-language readers, young readers, newcomers, decision-makers or specialists, or describe your own.
Level: Very simple (A1) to expert (C2); simpler or more precise.
Write in: Keep the language, or translate while simplifying.
