DOC. 000 · THE DOCUMENT BEHIND THE DOCUMENTS

The law is public. Understanding it should be too.

Clausebook exists because the documents that shape ordinary lives — leases, car sales, powers of attorney — are priced like secrets and written like riddles. We think that’s a choice. We made a different one.

THE WHOLE SHELF — EVERY STATUTE WE TRACK, NOTHING HELD BACK
Art. 1 — WHY WE EXIST

Paperwork is where trust between people gets written down. It shouldn’t require a translator.

Most people meet the legal system maybe ten times in a life — a lease, a sale, a job, a just-in-case.

Each of those moments comes with a document. And each document comes with a choice: pay an attorney for an hour you can’t afford, download something anonymous from page four of a search, or shake hands and hope.

We build the fourth option: documents checked against current law before release, kept current when the law moves, and explained in words you could read aloud to the person signing across the table from you — at a price that’s on the button, not in a quote.

Art. 2 — WHAT WE HOLD OURSELVES TO

Four clauses we can be measured against.

HOVER OR FOCUS A PRINCIPLE — “WHAT THIS MEANS” APPEARS IN THE MARGIN
§ 2.1Plain English is a legal feature, not a marketing one. A clause you don’t understand is a clause you can’t rely on. Every template comes with a plain-English note on every provision.
What this meansYou’ve seen these notes on our policy pages. They’re not decoration — they’re the product.
§ 2.2Current, or nothing. A template drafted for last year’s law is worse than no template. We track the statutes on the shelf above and review every document again when one of them moves.
What this meansThe “LEGAL FACTS VERIFIED OCTOBER 2026” line in every footer is this clause, kept.
§ 2.3Honest about our limits. We are not a law firm, and what we sell is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney: excellent starting points, not legal advice. When a situation needs an attorney, we say so — even when it costs us the sale.
What this meansDisputes, businesses, unusual family situations: where we think you need an attorney, we tell you plainly.
§ 2.4The price on the button is the price: $1 for a 48-hour pass to every document, then $22 every 4 weeks until you cancel — no sales tax added, cancel online any time, and a refund within 14 days even after download, no questions asked, because “no questions” means no questions.
What this meansRefund policy § 1.2. The 14 days are our own promise, and they survive the download — anything else is a bad way to sell trust.
Art. 3 — THE COMPANY, AS A CHANGELOG

We version everything. Including ourselves.

v 0.1Spring 2026

The idea

Every legal document should come with a margin note that says what it actually means. Clausebook starts in Copenhagen as a set of design prototypes built around that one rule.

v 0.9July 2026

Prototypes approved

Ten pages, one metaphor: the product is a library of law and every page is a typeset document. First for Denmark, with Danish documents.

v 1.0October 2026

The site you are reading

The United States gets its own library, starting with Texas: three documents written from Texas law — the power of attorney on the statutory form of the Texas Estates Code — not translated from Danish. Every legal fact was read in the statutes and on the state agencies’ own pages in October 2026.

Art. 4 — THE UNDERSIGNED

Signed by the person who builds it.

No stock photos of us pointing at whiteboards. In our world, you are your signature — so here is ours.

Art. 5 — IN WITNESS WHEREOF

Read us where it counts: in the fine print.

Our own terms carry the same plain-English notes as everything we sell. That’s the whole idea, applied to ourselves.
