Terms of Service

Agreeing to these terms

By creating a Spectres account, you're agreeing to what's written on this page. We've tried to keep it readable rather than burying the important parts in dense paragraphs — but it's still the actual agreement between you and us, so it's worth an honest skim at least once.

If you don't agree with something here, the simplest thing is not to use Spectres — and you're welcome to tell us why, we do read that feedback.

What Spectres is

Spectres is a dashboard for running the business side of freelancing — clients, invoices, contracts, time tracking, expenses, and project boards, in one place instead of five. It's a tool you use to manage your own business relationships; we don't insert ourselves into your dealings with your clients, and we're not a party to any agreement you make with them.

Your account

You need to be at least 18 to use Spectres. Whatever you do under your account is your responsibility, so keep your login secure the way you would for any account that touches your business finances. If you notice anything odd — a login you don't recognize, changes you didn't make — tell us right away.

Subscriptions & billing

Spectres has a Free plan and a paid Pro plan. Pro is billed on a recurring basis through Paddle, who act as the Merchant of Record for the transaction. That means Paddle is who you're actually paying, who issues your receipt, and who applies any sales tax required in your country — not us directly.

Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel first. If a renewal payment fails, we'll usually retry it, and if it keeps failing your account quietly drops back to Free rather than getting locked or losing data.

If we ever need to change pricing, we'll give existing subscribers reasonable notice before it applies to them — nobody likes getting charged more without warning, and we're not going to do that to you.

Cancelling & refunds

You can cancel your Pro subscription whenever you want, directly from your account. Cancelling stops future renewals — you'll keep Pro access until the end of the period you've already paid for, and then your account moves back to Free automatically.

We don't offer prorated refunds for the unused part of a billing period, since Spectres is a fully digital service you have access to the entire time you're subscribed. That said, if something genuinely went wrong on our end — you were charged by mistake, a bug caused a duplicate charge, that kind of thing — email us and we'll sort it out fairly. Since Paddle processes the actual payment, refunds are issued through them once approved.

Plan limits

The Free plan comes with limits — a capped number of clients, invoices per month, and so on, all listed on our pricing page. We might adjust these limits over time as the product evolves, but we'll always keep the current ones visible on the pricing page rather than changing them quietly.

Templates & generated content

Spectres provides contract, proposal, and message templates to help you move faster. They're a starting point, not legal advice — especially the contract templates. We'd genuinely recommend having a lawyer look over anything high-value or unusual before you send it to a client. The same goes for any content you generate or customize using Spectres: you're responsible for reviewing it before it goes out under your name.

Acceptable use

Fairly standard stuff — please don't:

• Use Spectres for anything illegal, or to defraud someone
• Try to break into accounts or systems that aren't yours
• Resell or white-label Spectres without talking to us first
• Deliberately overload or disrupt the service

If your account is being used this way, we'll suspend or close it — we'd rather protect the platform for everyone else than let one bad actor ruin it.

Who owns what

Spectres — the product, the branding, the code behind it — belongs to us. Your data — your clients, invoices, contracts, everything you put into the dashboard — belongs to you. We only touch it to actually run the service for you, nothing more.

Suspension & termination

You can delete your account whenever you like. On our side, we'll only suspend or close an account for a real reason — a terms violation, fraud, that sort of thing — and we'll try to give you a heads-up first unless the situation genuinely doesn't allow for it.

Disclaimers

We work hard to keep Spectres reliable, but we can't promise it'll never go down or never have a bug — no software is perfect, and anyone who promises otherwise isn't being honest with you. Spectres is provided as-is, without guarantees beyond what's explicitly written in these terms.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows it, we're not liable for indirect losses tied to using Spectres — lost income, a missed deadline, a client relationship that went sideways, and so on. We built this to help your business, not to take on the risk of running it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, and any dispute would fall under the jurisdiction of Pakistani courts.

Changes to these terms

If we make a meaningful change to these terms, we'll let you know by email or inside the app before it takes effect — not just quietly edit this page and hope nobody checks the date at the top.
