Hidden Catch reads terms of service and returns a plain-English, severity-ranked summary of the clauses that actually affect your rights - from forced arbitration to the license you grant over your own content.
Almost nobody reads terms of service, which is precisely why the clauses that limit your rights live there. Binding arbitration, class-action waivers, broad content licenses, and unilateral change terms are standard - and quietly consequential.
Hidden Catch reads the whole agreement and pulls out the terms worth knowing before you accept, each quoted and explained, so "I agree" is an informed choice rather than a reflex.
What Hidden Catch looks for in terms of service
- Forced arbitration and class waivers. Clauses that bar you from court and from joining a class action, routing disputes to private arbitration.
- Broad content licenses. Terms granting the company sweeping rights to use, modify, or sublicense content you upload.
- Liability limitations. Provisions capping or eliminating the company’s liability, sometimes to a token amount.
- Auto-renewal and billing terms. Subscriptions that renew automatically with narrow cancellation windows or hard-to-find opt-outs.
- Unilateral changes. Language letting the company change the terms at any time, with continued use counting as acceptance.
- Account termination and data loss. Terms permitting suspension or deletion of your account - and your data - with little recourse.
