FreightClause drafts UCT-safe Australian freight agreements from a brief in under a minute, reviews counterparty contracts clause-by-clause, and rewrites the bad ones in your house style. Built in Brisbane, tuned for Australian transport law.
Every clause is interpreted through a freight lens — Chain of Responsibility, demurrage, detention, deadweight, fuel levy, Bill of Lading, lien rights, subcontracting. Generic AI tools treat your carrier subcontract like a software EULA. We don't.
The November 2023 unfair contract terms changes hit small-business carriers hardest. FreightClause flags presumptively unfair terms — unilateral variation, broad set-off, uncapped indemnity, unilateral termination — and shows you the safer redline.
Every issue is explained the way your operations manager would say it. No "notwithstanding the foregoing." Plain English summary, business impact, recommended redline. Then export a clean redline back to your customer or carrier.
Beyond drafting and review — the tools Australian freight operators asked us for.
Every review now carries a qualitative UCT exposure band with a per-severity breakdown of terms flagged under ACL ss23-28 — so you can see how defensible a contract is at a glance, with the regime's penalty context alongside.
Upload your existing standard-form agreement as a PDF or Word document and get the same clause-by-clause UCT audit you'd run on a contract a customer sent you. Find your own exposure before a counterparty does.
A curated library of Australian freight clauses — fuel levy, CoR, liability caps, demurrage, lien — that you can drop straight into a draft, plus your own saved clauses shared across the workspace.
Work out a fuel surcharge the way your contract defines it, against a live weekly feed of AIP terminal-gate diesel prices for every capital — with a one-click reference table you can verify on the AIP site.
We watch the sources your contracts rely on — the UCT provisions, the HVNL and Chain of Responsibility, the ADG Code and the NHVR — and flag when one moves, so a person can review and confirm before your references change.
Long master agreements no longer time out. Big reviews run in the background in chunks and stream their results in, so a 40k-word agreement gets the same clause-by-clause treatment as a two-pager.
Describe the deal in plain English — parties, lanes, term, rate. FreightClause generates a full Australian freight agreement that's UCT-safe by default: mirrored liability caps, mutual termination, no unilateral variation, plain Australian English throughout.
Four templates tuned to the seven Australian resources majors. Pick BHP, BMA, Rio Tinto, Fortescue, Glencore, Anglo American or South32. Flip the stance to Contractor or Principal. Toggle the small-business UCT switch (ACL ss23–24, A$50M turnover threshold). The draft adjusts caps, KPIs, abatement, take-or-pay, NOR and demurrage to match.
Whether you're drafting one from scratch or reviewing one a customer sent you, the same Australian freight rules apply — same vocabulary, same severity scoring, same redline library.
Twelve templates across road, logistics, rail, international and resources majors. Sea and air include Incoterms 2020 picker. Resources templates carry a counterparty profile plus a Contractor or Principal stance toggle.
Plain English: parties, term, rate, lanes. Anything missing fills with sensible AU-market defaults.
≥25 clauses, UCT-safe, ready to send. Self-check confirms 0 Critical / 0 High.
PDF, Word, or pasted text. Carrier subs, 3PL, customer freight, rate schedules.
Severity-scored against your playbook, UCT regime, and CoR obligations.
Three-pane surface. Ask a question — get cited answers, not vibes.

FreightClause's playbooks are built from real carrier subcontracts, 3PL warehousing agreements, customer freight schedules, and rate cards from operators across Queensland, NSW and Victoria. The system knows what 90-day EOM terms look like, and what they should look like.

"We were paying A$8k a quarter for an external lawyer to mark up customer freight schedules. FreightClause does the first 80% in a minute, and our solicitor reviews the flagged bits. Saved us a week's worth of back-and-forth on our last MSA."
"The UCT calls are the thing. It picked up a unilateral variation clause buried on page 11 of a national retailer's freight schedule that we'd been quietly signing for two years. That alone paid for the year."
