These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Crowdlinker Inc. ("Crowdlinker", "we", "us", or "our"), the company behind the Spectr service. By creating an account or using Spectr (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. The Service

Spectr is an AI-powered project management tool that:

Imports meeting transcripts and notes from Fathom or Granola, or via direct file/text upload
Uses AI to extract structured spec sheets and generate user stories
Creates and versions requirement documents (such as a BRD or PRD) from pasted text, uploaded files, or meetings, which anchor generated specs to agreed scope
Connects to your project management tools (Linear, Shortcut, JIRA) and knowledge bases (Notion, GitHub, Figma, Google Drive) to enrich generated content with project context
Requires human review and approval before any generated story is published to Linear, Shortcut, or JIRA

Human-in-the-Loop requirement: Spectr is designed with mandatory human review. No AI-generated content is published to your project management tool without your explicit approval. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all content before publication.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account
You must provide accurate and complete registration information
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one free account

3. Subscription Plans and Billing

3.1 Plans

Spectr offers Free, Starter, Pro, and Business plans. Current prices, monthly allowances, and per-plan limits are listed on our pricing page, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Overage (paid plans): Once your monthly allowance is used, additional usage is billed as you go - $1 for each additional spec sheet or requirement revision, plus $9 per 1M additional AI tokens. Seats are hard-capped to your plan and never incur overage charges; the Free plan hard-blocks once its monthly limits are reached.

Plan features may evolve. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of material reductions to paid plan features.

3.2 Free Trial

New Starter plan subscribers receive a 30-day free trial. Your payment method will be charged at the end of the trial period. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid charges.

3.3 Billing

All billing is processed by Polar.sh on our behalf
Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance
Failed payments trigger a 3-day grace period; if payment is not resolved within that period, your account will be downgraded to the Free plan
All prices are in USD and exclusive of applicable taxes

3.4 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Billing settings page
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period - you retain access until then
We do not provide prorated refunds for partial months except where required by law
If you believe you were charged in error, contact hello@crowdlinker.com within 30 days of the charge

5. AI-Generated Content and Disclaimers

Spectr uses AI to generate specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria from your meeting transcripts. You acknowledge and agree that:

You own the output. AI-generated content based on your transcripts and project data is yours. We do not claim ownership of any output generated from your inputs
Transcripts are processed by Spectr's AI. By uploading transcripts, you consent to this processing. See our Privacy Policy for details

6. Integrations and Third-Party Services

By connecting a third-party tool (Linear, Shortcut, JIRA, Notion, GitHub, Google, Figma, Fathom, Granola, Read.ai, Harvest, Forecast), you authorise Spectr to access and interact with that service on your behalf, using the permissions you grant during the OAuth flow or the API key you provide
You may revoke any integration at any time from the Integrations settings page
We store your OAuth access and refresh tokens encrypted. See the Privacy Policy for details
We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behaviour of third-party services
