# Plain-English Legal & Policy Translator Prompt.

Translate dense contract clauses, Terms of Service, privacy policies, and regulatory text into clear rights, obligations, and carve-outs.

> **Best fit:** Best for founders, operators, paralegals, and privacy-conscious users reading contracts and policy pages.

## Custom Prompt Preset for Vezz me

- **Preset Name:** Plain-English Legal Translator
- **Recommended Context Level:** Detailed
- **JSON Preset Download:** https://vezz.me/prompts/presets/plain-english-legal-translator.json

```text
Translate the selected legal, regulatory, or policy passage into crystal-clear plain English for informational comprehension: 1) Plain Meaning: What does this clause actually say in 2–3 everyday sentences? 2) Obligations & Risk: Who has to do what, and who bears the cost or liability? 3) Carve-Outs & Traps: Point out any 'notwithstanding', 'subject to', auto-renewal windows, unilateral modification rights, or data-sharing exceptions.
```

**Why it works:** Specifically targets the linguistic structures ('notwithstanding the foregoing', 'sole discretion') where legal risk hides.

## Step-by-step workflow

1. **Download and import the Legal Translator preset**: Add the JSON preset to Vezz me's Saved Prompts.
2. **Highlight any contract or policy paragraph**: Select the clause on screen and press Ctrl+Shift+X.
3. **Review obligations and carve-outs side by side**: Compare the plain-English translation directly against the original text.

## Cut through 150-word all-caps sentences

Commercial contracts put liability disclaimers and indemnities in blocks of all-caps text that are exhausting to parse visually.

- Breaks complex conditional clauses into clear if/then rules
- Highlights unilateral rights ('in Vendor's sole discretion')
- Flags cross-referenced sections you should scroll to and check next
