Terms of Service

Agreement to terms

By creating a Specwarden account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you are using Specwarden on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.

License grant

Specwarden grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the service for your internal engineering review work, subject to your plan tier.

Acceptable use

• Do not upload files you do not have the right to review (third-party IP).
• Do not reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our prompts or rules.
• Do not use Specwarden to violate any law or third-party right.
• Do not share account credentials or allow others to use your account.
• Do not automate review submissions outside intended UI paths.

Payment terms

Pricing and billing are governed by your current plan, listed at specwarden.ai/pricing. Plans renew automatically. You can cancel any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Note (V1 launch): Billing infrastructure ships in Plan 3c. During the V1 preview period, the Free tier is available without payment.

Warranty disclaimer

Specwarden is provided AS IS. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that findings will be complete or correct. Findings are advisory; final engineering judgment remains with the customer. Specwarden is not a substitute for qualified engineering review or audit.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Specwarden's total liability for any claim arising from your use of the service is limited to the lesser of (a) the fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim arose or (b) $100. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages.

Intellectual property

• You retain all rights to your source files and to the findings generated for them.
• Specwarden retains all rights to the engine, prompts, rule library, UI, report templates, and brand.
• Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics may be used to improve the service (no customer-identifiable content).

Termination

• You may terminate by deleting your account at any time.
• We may terminate or suspend access for material breach of these terms with notice; we will provide a reasonable cure period for non-payment.
• Upon termination, account data is deleted within 30 days.

Governing law

(Placeholder — to be set by counsel based on Specwarden's state of incorporation. V1 default: Delaware, USA.)

Changes to these terms

We will email registered users at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
