SpecChain
Last updated: May 28, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the SpecChain software platform (SaaS). By registering or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use SpecChain.
SpecChain is a cloud software product for hardware product development workflows. Marketing references to an "Operating System" describe a unified workspace, not a computer operating system. SpecChain provides tools for requirements, traceability, financial modelling and automation; it does not replace professional engineering, legal, regulatory, certification or investment advice. Outcomes depend on your team, data and project context.
You are responsible for credentials, user invitations and activity within your workspace. Access is role-based. You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, abuse, non-payment or security reasons.
Paid plans, trials, upgrades and billing cycles are described on the pricing page and in checkout. Fees are charged per workspace unless stated otherwise. Trials convert to paid plans unless cancelled before the trial ends. Early-access or custom commercial terms apply only when confirmed in writing. Prices may change with notice for future billing periods.
You retain ownership of data, documents and materials you upload. You grant SpecChain a limited licence to host, process, back up and display that content solely to provide and improve the service. You represent that you have the rights to upload content and that it does not violate law or third-party rights.
You may not reverse engineer the service except where permitted by law, interfere with security, upload malware, attempt unauthorized access, resell the service without permission, or use SpecChain for unlawful purposes. Automated scraping of the service is prohibited without prior consent.
SpecChain software, branding and documentation are protected by intellectual property laws. Phase-gate, V-model and third-party company or product names mentioned on our site are trademarks or descriptive terms of their respective owners; use on our site is for identification only and does not imply endorsement, partnership or affiliation.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available" to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant uninterrupted operation, error-free behaviour, or that the service will meet your requirements. We do not guarantee certification, market success, financial results, schedule accuracy or compliance with any standard or regulation based solely on use of SpecChain.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SpecChain and its operators shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill or business interruption. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be indicated by updating the date above. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Privacy processing is described in our Privacy Policy. Questions: [email protected] or support at /support.
