Terms of Service

Specky — operated by Spark IT Mariusz Iskra (sole proprietorship, Poland)

Version: 1.0 · Last updated: 8 July 2026 · Effective: 8 July 2026

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the use of Specky, a specification-driven project management platform ("Service"), operated by:

Spark IT Mariusz Iskra, sole proprietorship registered in Poland ul. Malownicza 9, 72-006 Mierzyn, Poland · Tax ID (NIP): 8581726552 · EU VAT: PL8581726552 · Contact: support@specky.app ("Specky", "we", "us")

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the organization you represent ("Customer", "you"). If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind it.

The following documents form part of the agreement:

  • Privacy Policy — https://specky.app/legal/privacy
  • Data Processing Agreement (DPA) — https://specky.app/legal/dpa, applicable where you upload personal data of third parties
  • Refund Policy — https://specky.app/legal/refund

Specky is a business (B2B) product. It is intended for use in trade or business. Section 13 describes the limited cases where consumer-protection rules apply.

2. The Service

Specky centralizes project specifications, requirements, and tasks, and uses artificial intelligence to analyze documentation, extract requirements, and identify gaps.

AI-assisted, human-decided. AI features generate proposals — extracted requirements and chat answers. These are marked as AI-generated in the interface and require human review and acceptance. You acknowledge that AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purposes, and that you are responsible for reviewing them before relying on them. Specky is not a substitute for professional judgment in software delivery, legal review of client agreements, or contractual decisions.

We may modify, add, or discontinue features of the Service. We will give reasonable notice of material reductions in functionality affecting paid plans.

3. Accounts and organizations

You must provide accurate registration information and keep credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Accounts belong to the Customer's organization; the organization owner controls membership, roles, and data.

You must be at least 18 years old and using the Service in a business capacity.

4. Plans, trial, and billing

The Service is offered in subscription plans (currently Solo, Team, Pro) with usage limits described at https://specky.app/pricing. Limits (e.g., monthly AI document analyses, seats, storage) are enforced in-app; current usage is visible in your organization settings.

Trial. New organizations receive a 14-day free trial. After the trial, the account switches to read-only mode unless a paid plan is purchased. We do not delete your data upon trial expiry (see Section 9).

Payments — Merchant of Record. All payments are processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record. Paddle is the seller of record for your purchase: Paddle's checkout terms apply to the transaction, Paddle issues invoices, and handles billing inquiries and refunds in accordance with our Refund Policy. We do not store your payment card details.

Renewals, cancellation, refunds are governed by the Refund Policy at https://specky.app/legal/refund. Plan prices may change; price changes apply from the next billing period after at least 30 days' notice.

Fair use. Usage limits exist to keep the Service sustainable. Circumventing limits (e.g., splitting one organization's workload across accounts to avoid limits) is prohibited.

5. Your content and data ownership

You own your content. All documents, specifications, recordings, transcriptions, requirements, tasks, and other materials you upload or create in the Service ("Customer Content") remain yours. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Content solely to provide and secure the Service, including processing via the AI providers listed in our subprocessor list (https://specky.app/legal/subprocessors).

AI outputs are yours. As between you and us, outputs generated by AI features from your Customer Content (extracted requirements, analyses, chat answers) belong to you. We make no claim to them. Note that AI outputs may not be protectable by copyright in some jurisdictions and similar outputs may be generated for other customers from their own content.

Your content does not train AI models — see the Privacy Policy, Section 4, for the actual processing flow and our AI providers' commitments.

Your responsibilities. You warrant that you have the necessary rights to upload Customer Content (including third-party documents such as client agreements) and that your use of the Service complies with applicable law and any confidentiality obligations you owe to third parties. Where Customer Content includes personal data of third parties, the DPA applies and you act as controller of that data.

Export. You can export your data (documents, tasks, structured exports) at any time while your account is active or in read-only mode.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use the Service to violate law or third-party rights;
  • upload malicious code or attempt to breach, probe, or circumvent security or tenant isolation;
  • attempt to extract or reconstruct other customers' data;
  • use the Service to develop a competing product, or systematically extract AI outputs to train models;
  • resell or provide the Service to third parties as a service bureau without our written consent;
  • abuse AI features in ways that violate our AI providers' acceptable use policies (e.g., generating illegal content via the chat feature);
  • interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service;
  • use the Service if you, or any organization you represent, are subject to applicable sanctions, or are located in or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive trade embargoes, or otherwise use the Service in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws.

7. Suspension

We may suspend access (in whole or in part) where: (a) there is a serious or repeated breach of Section 6; (b) suspension is necessary to protect the Service, other customers, or comply with law; (c) usage creates abnormal load or cost consistent with abuse. Where practicable, we will notify you before or promptly after suspension and limit its scope and duration to what is necessary. Suspension does not relieve payment obligations for the affected period where the suspension results from your breach.

8. Term and termination

These Terms apply as long as you have an account. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may terminate the agreement: (a) for material breach not cured within 14 days of notice; (b) immediately for serious violations of Section 6; (c) upon discontinuation of the Service, with at least 90 days' notice for paid customers.

9. Data after termination

After subscription end without account deletion, your data remains available in read-only mode. Upon account deletion, Customer Content is deleted within 30 days as described in the Privacy Policy (backup rotation may extend physical deletion as described there). We recommend exporting your data before deletion.

10. Service availability — no SLA

We aim for high availability and operate monitoring, backups, and security measures (described in the DPA's TOM annex). However, the Service is currently provided without a contractual Service Level Agreement (SLA). The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or that AI outputs will be accurate or fit for a particular purpose.

11. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid to us (via Paddle) for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
  • We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits, lost data (beyond restoration from backups we maintain), business interruption, or decisions made in reliance on AI-generated outputs that you accepted.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for willful misconduct (in Polish law: wina umyślna) or gross negligence to the extent it cannot be limited, or mandatory consumer rights under Section 13.

You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from Customer Content you upload in breach of Section 5, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Polish law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Disputes will be resolved by the common court having jurisdiction over our registered seat. This Section does not deprive consumers (and, where applicable, entrepreneurs treated as consumers under Polish law) of protections and venue rules granted by mandatory provisions of the law of their habitual residence.

13. Consumers and entrepreneur-consumers

Specky is a B2B product. However:

  • If you use the Service as a consumer within the EU/UK, mandatory consumer protections apply, including the 14-day withdrawal right described in the Refund Policy, and nothing in these Terms limits those rights.
  • If you are a sole trader registered in Poland (JDG) and your purchase is not of a professional character for you (art. 7aa of the Polish Consumer Rights Act), certain consumer protections apply to you, including rules on prohibited contractual clauses and withdrawal rights. In such cases, the clauses of these Terms apply to you only to the extent permitted by those protections.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms for valid reasons: changes in law, changes in the Service's functionality or business model, security requirements, or correction of errors. We will notify you of material changes at least 14 days before they take effect (in-app or by email), indicating the new version number and date. If you do not accept the changes, you may terminate before the effective date; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Changes do not apply retroactively to the current paid-up billing period in a way that diminishes already-paid entitlements. Prior versions are archived and publicly available at https://specky.app/legal/archive.

15. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations (other than payment obligations already due) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics or pandemics, strikes or labor disputes, failures or interruptions of utilities, internet, or telecommunications, failures or outages of hosting, payment, or AI infrastructure providers, cyber-attacks, or changes in law or governmental action. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event and resume performance. If a force majeure event materially preventing performance continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the affected subscription for the unaffected remainder of the billing period, and a pro-rata refund of prepaid, unused fees is the sole remedy.

16. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms together with the incorporated documents (Section 1) form the entire agreement and supersede prior arrangements.
  • Assignment. You may not assign the agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a transfer of the business operating the Service, with notice to you.
  • Severability. If a provision is invalid, the remainder stays in force; the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one closest in effect.
  • Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Translations (including Polish) are provided for convenience; the English version prevails, except where mandatory law grants a consumer the protection of a local-language version.
