A loan agreement controls far more than the headline rate. Fees, points, compounding, prepayment penalties, collateral, personal guarantees, covenants, and default terms all shape what borrowing really costs and how much risk the borrower carries. In the U.S., the Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to disclose the APR and finance charge for consumer credit, but most business-purpose loans fall outside it, so their fees can be harder to compare. Justee explains loan terms clause by clause, flags provisions such as acceleration, cross-default, and confession of judgment clauses, and points to the relevant law. It does not tell you whether to borrow. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

Loan Agreements Create Long-Term Financial Obligations

You need financing for your business, a home, or a major purchase. The lender sent an agreement with detailed terms on interest, fees, repayment, collateral, and default. Before you sign and receive funds, you want to understand the true cost and what you are committing to.

Underestimating total loan cost because of fees, points, or the way interest is calculated

Being surprised by strict covenants that restrict business operations or personal finances

Accepting harsh default provisions that let the lender demand the full balance for minor violations

Pledging more collateral or broader personal guarantees than you realized

Ask Questions Before Signing

Use the flagged terms to ask the lender about rates, fees, covenants, collateral, or guarantees before you sign.

Illustrative Example

Scenario: Small business owner reviewing a bank loan agreement for a $200K working capital line of credit

Challenge: The business needed working capital for seasonal inventory. The bank approved a $200K line of credit at "prime + 2%" on what it called standard terms, and the owner wanted to understand the full cost and obligations before signing.

Outcome: Justee flagged terms that went well beyond the headline rate: interest calculated daily and compounded monthly; a 2% origination fee and a 1% annual facility fee; a 3% prepayment penalty in the first two years; a personal guarantee from the owner and spouse for the full amount; a blanket lien on business assets plus the owner's home; financial covenants where any miss was an immediate default with no cure period; a cross-default clause tied to any other debt; and a confession of judgment clause. Each came with a plain-English explanation and the relevant law. The owner took the list to the bank and asked about the fees, the scope of the guarantee, removing the home from the collateral, cure periods for the covenants, and the confession of judgment clause before deciding whether to sign.

Why Justee

Justee AI vs. General Chatbots vs. Other Legal AI

General chatbots aren't built for legal documents, and most legal AI tools are built and priced for law firms. Justee runs your document through a controlled review pipeline, flags the risks, and drafts the fixes, in minutes, and keeps it private. It gives legal information, not legal advice: for your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Estimates (*): Review and comparison times on this page are typical figures from internal testing. Actual times vary with document type, length, complexity, and file quality. Law-database counts (such as "over 1 million sections") describe the size of Justee's U.S. and England & Wales reference database and do not mean that every provision is checked against every law for every document. Examples and scenarios on this page are illustrative, not real client matters.

By using our service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Terms of Use and understand the limitations of AI-powered legal analysis. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and applicability of any information to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The stated rate is the interest charged on the balance (for example, "8% per year"). The APR folds certain upfront costs, such as origination fees and points, into a yearly rate, so it is usually higher than the stated rate. U.S. consumer loans must disclose an APR under the Truth in Lending Act; many business loans do not have to, so you may need to add up the fees yourself. Compounding frequency and ongoing charges such as annual facility fees also raise the real cost. Justee lists the rate terms and fees it finds so you can see the full picture.

A personal guarantee makes you personally liable if the business cannot repay, so the lender can pursue your own assets, not just the company's. Points to check: whether the guarantee covers the full amount or is capped, whether a spouse must also sign, whether your home is excluded, and whether the guarantee ends once the business meets set milestones. Federal rules (Regulation B under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act) limit when a lender can require a spouse's signature. Justee flags the guarantee terms and explains what each one commits you to.

Loan covenants are financial or operational requirements you must maintain. Common covenants: minimum cash balance, maximum debt-to-equity ratio, minimum profitability metrics, limits on additional debt, limits on asset sales or distributions, and maintenance of insurance. Breaching a covenant can trigger default even if you are current on payments. Questions to ask: are the thresholds realistic given your projections? Is there a cure period before default? Is there room for seasonal swings? Tight covenants create a constant risk of technical default.

It depends on the loan terms, but default typically lets the lender accelerate the full balance (demand immediate repayment), foreclose on collateral, and pursue personal guarantors for any shortfall. Extra interest and fees can accrue, the default may be reported to credit bureaus, and the lender may sue and seek a judgment. Check how the agreement defines default (missed payment versus covenant breach), any cure periods that give you time to fix a problem, and the lender's remedies. Understanding these terms helps you judge the risk before you sign.

Many loan terms can be negotiated, especially for business loans and before you sign. Terms borrowers commonly raise: the interest rate (compare offers from several lenders), origination and annual fees, prepayment penalties, collateral requirements, the scope of any personal guarantee, covenant thresholds, and cure periods for defaults. Competing offers, strong financials, and an existing relationship with the lender can all help. Asking questions about terms is a normal part of the process.

You choose the governing law before the analysis runs. With the U.S. option, any U.S. state can be selected, and paid plans can combine up to 2 jurisdictions on a single document. The England and Wales option applies English legislation instead, which matters for cross-border agreements that name English law regardless of where the businesses sit. Scotland and Northern Ireland are not yet supported.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers (such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses) may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
