Supported file formats

What file types can I upload?

Documents: PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, TXT, HTML, CSV, XML, JSON, Markdown. Images: PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP. Archives: ZIP (we extract and analyze each supported file inside). Native-text PDFs extract with the highest quality; scanned PDFs go through AI vision OCR.

Can I upload a folder of contracts?

Yes — drag-and-drop a folder directly from your desktop, or ZIP it first. Either works. ZIPs of ZIPs are not recursively unpacked.

Size and batch limits

How big can a single file be?

TypeMax sizeWhy

ZIP archive5 GBTotal upload size

How many documents per upload?

Up to 1,000 documents per batch, across drag-drop and ZIP contents combined. For larger volumes, split into multiple uploads. Total upload size is capped at 5 GB per request.

What if I hit the limit?

We accept what fits, tell you the batch was truncated, and you can upload the rest as a separate batch. You're only charged for the documents that were analyzed.

Data retention

How long do you keep my uploaded documents?

Uploaded documents are automatically deleted within 2 hours after processing completes. This is strict — contracts are the sensitive asset and we don't want to be responsible for them any longer than necessary.

How long are results available?

Extracted results (the CSV and the on-site results view) are downloadable for 24 hours. If you provided an email, the CSV is also attached to that email — your inbox is the durable copy, so you never lose access.

Check your junk / spam folder if you don't see it. ContractParser is a new sender domain, and some mail filters (Outlook.com especially) route new-domain mail to junk for a few weeks until reputation is established. Marking the email as "Not Junk" helps — both for you and for every other customer after you.

Do you use my data for AI training?

No. Ever. Our AI provider runs under a commercial agreement that prohibits training on customer data. Your documents and results are never used to improve any AI model.

Languages

Can I analyze non-English contracts?

Yes — we support most world languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and many more. Extracted values come back in the source language of the document. Full details on the Languages page.

Pricing and charges

How is pricing calculated?

Pay per page. PDF pages are counted directly. Other formats (DOCX, text, HTML) are estimated at roughly 3,000 characters per page. A $2.00 minimum applies per batch to cover small-volume overhead.

Example costs

BatchStandard ($0.10/page)Verified ($0.20/page)
One 15-page contract$2.00 (min)$3.00
One 50-page contract$5.00$10.00
50 × 20-page contracts (1,000 pages)$100.00$200.00
500 × 30-page contracts (15,000 pages)$1,500.00$3,000.00

When am I charged?

Your card is authorized (funds placed on hold) at checkout. The actual charge happens after processing completes — and we only capture the amount for documents that were successfully analyzed. Unsuccessful documents are not charged.

Standard vs. Verified

What's the difference?

Standard ($0.10/page): fast, reliable extraction using our capable AI. Great for bulk analysis and straightforward contracts.

Verified ($0.20/page): full extraction using our most capable AI, plus a second AI pass that audits every field, catches contradictions and math errors across fields, and explains what looks wrong and why.

Two things set our Verified tier apart from what similar tools offer:

  • Included at the tier price, not an add-on. Some parsers offer numeric confidence scores but charge an extra per-page credit for them. Verified bakes the audit pass into the $0.20 rate.
  • Narrative reasoning, not just a number. Instead of a bare "confidence: 0.67," you get the actual concern — for example, "totalValue appears to mix per-site, per-year, and portfolio figures; $4,752/site/year × 4 sites × 10 years = $190,080, not $220,777.52." You see which fields need human attention and which don't.

General-purpose chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) can be prompted to self-check, but they won't return structured, per-field audit results you can drop into a spreadsheet or workflow.

Which should I pick?

Standard for bulk work where you just need the extracted values. Verified when a single wrong number or missed clause could cost you. You can switch per batch.

AI training on customer data

Are my documents used to train AI?

No. See retention and our Privacy Policy for details.

Where does my document go during analysis?

Your document is sent over encrypted HTTPS to our AI provider's API, analyzed, and the result is returned. Under the commercial API agreement we use, the provider is contractually prohibited from retaining or training on your data.

Failures and cancellation

What if a document fails to analyze?

You're not charged for it. The results CSV marks it with an error note. Common causes: corrupt PDF, password-protected file, heavily degraded scan.

Can I cancel a batch mid-processing?

Yes. Click Cancel during processing. Documents already analyzed are kept and delivered; you're charged only for those. No refund is needed — the unprocessed portion is never captured.

What if everything fails?

If zero documents analyze successfully, the card authorization is released and you pay nothing.

Payment and receipts

Who processes my card?

All payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number, CVV, or full card details. We receive only a transaction confirmation.

Do I get a receipt?

Yes. Stripe sends an email receipt to whatever email you enter at checkout. Separately, if you provided an email in ContractParser, you also get the results email with the CSV attached.

Can I get a refund?

Because of how authorize-and-capture works, the normal case never needs a refund — you're only charged for successful documents. If something goes wrong anyway, email support@grovestreams.com and we'll handle it.

Cloud integrations

Can I import contracts from Salesforce?

Yes. Click the Salesforce button on the upload page and log into your Salesforce account. You'll see your Contract records and can pick PDFs attached to them. You log in with your own credentials; we never see your Salesforce password and can only access what you explicitly select.

What about Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox?

Planned, not enabled yet. For now, drag-drop from your desktop or upload a ZIP. When those integrations ship, you'll see matching buttons on the upload page.
