Still have questions?

Everything you need to know about switching to HelloNoa

Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude?

AI agents can generate contract text, but cannot track your time, send invoices, collect e-signatures, or remember your projects between sessions. They also lack current UK law knowledge and provide no legal verification. One mistake could cost thousands in disputes.

When should I still hire a traditional lawyer?

For complex deals (£100k+), litigation, IP registration, or regulatory compliance. HelloNoa handles standard freelance contracts.

Can I customise HelloNoa templates?

Yes. Adjust clause settings through guided forms while keeping the lawyer-reviewed structure intact. Unlimited customisations are included.

Do you offer legal advice?

No. We provide lawyer-reviewed templates and guidance, but not legal advice. Consult a solicitor for specific legal questions.

How do you keep templates updated?

Our legal team monitors UK legal changes and pushes updates automatically. You'll get notifications when templates are refreshed.

What about DocuSign or other e-signature tools?

HelloNoa includes built-in e-signatures with legal compliance. No need to pay for separate tools or manage multiple logins. Essential includes 5 legally binding contracts per month; Pro adds unlimited signatures, multi-party signing, and full audit trails.

Can I export my data?

Absolutely. You own your data. Download all contracts, invoices, and documents as PDF anytime. No lock-in, no fees.

How does HelloNoa compare to LegalZoom or Rocket Lawyer?

They focus on US law and charge per document. HelloNoa is UK-focused, subscription-based, and includes time tracking, invoicing, and client collaboration, not just contracts.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You keep all your documents (download before cancelling). We don't delete your data immediately — 90-day grace period. Downgrade to Starter plan anytime to keep access.
