Real estate agent faces an indemnity clause that could make them personally liable for brokerage admin errors on trust accounts, which they have no control over.

Standard ICAs often contain broad indemnity clauses that shift risk of brokerage admin mistakes to agents, without offering tools or processes to prevent those mistakes—agents lack a way to enforce reasonable risk allocation before signing.

Compares clause against TRESA standards and common brokerage practices

Target Users: New and experienced real estate agents in Ontario (and eventually across Canada) who sign ICAs with brokerages, especially those without a lawyer on retainer.

Revenue Model: Freemium with $39/month pro tier (unlimited scans and redlines) or $9.99 per contract scan.
