Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve utilization of fine print for a document. An example method includes receiving information identifying a location and a domain associated with the document, and identifying, based on the received location and domain, a set of fine print clause data structures relevant to the location and the domain. The method further includes transmitting an indication of the set of identified fine print clause data structures to the developer device, and receiving an indication of a selection of a subset of the set of fine print data structures. Finally, the method includes causing generation of a visual representation of the document that displays fine print clauses corresponding to the subset, wherein the location of the fine print clauses in the visual representation is based on a categorization of the fine print clause data structures corresponding to the fine print clauses.
