Terms of Service

By using spectrumweb.co — browsing it, sending us a message, subscribing to our newsletter, creating an account or booking a call — you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site.

If you use the site on behalf of a business or other organisation, you confirm that you’re allowed to accept these terms for it.

These terms cover spectrumweb.co only. Our products — KanbanOS, ClippyOS, Desk Lanes and Auctioning — run on their own domains under their own terms and policies. If you use one of them, its terms apply to that product, not these.

We offer our services as monthly services: Ship a Product, Recruiting & Talent Placement, Social Narratives (live), and Business Suite Engineering. The descriptions on this site explain what each service is for and how we usually work, but they’re general in nature and may change.

Using the site doesn’t create an engagement. We don’t publish a price list, and nothing on the site — including anything said during an SI intro call — is an offer you can accept. Paid work only starts once you and Spectrum Web Co have agreed a separate written scope or agreement that sets out the work, the fees and the terms that apply.

If that written agreement says something different from these terms, the written agreement applies to the engagement.

You can create an account and sign in with Google, with X, with a magic link sent to your email, with a one-time code sent by SMS to your mobile, or with a Solana or Ethereum wallet by signing a message. Membership gives you access to members-only Guides and lets you request access to some of our private GitHub repositories.

Your account is for you alone. Please give us accurate details, don’t share your access with anyone else, and keep the things you sign in with secure — your Google or X account, your email inbox, your phone and your wallet. If you think someone else has got into your account, let us know straight away.

We will never ask for your wallet’s private key or seed phrase, and you should never enter them on our site. Signing in with a wallet only proves that you control the address — it doesn’t move any funds or give us permission to spend anything. If someone claiming to be us asks for a seed phrase, it isn’t us.

You can delete your account at any time by emailing ove@spectrumweb.co. We may ask you to confirm that the account is yours before we delete it.

Members-only Guides are licensed to you, not sold. While you’re a member, you may read and use them for your own personal use or for internal use in your own work. You may not resell, republish, redistribute or share them — including by passing on your login, copying them into a course or posting them publicly — without our written permission. We may update, replace or retire Guides at any time.

Members can also ask for access to some of our private GitHub repositories by giving us their GitHub username. It’s up to us whether to grant access, and we may decline a request without giving a reason. If we do grant access:

• Access is personal to you and your GitHub account. You can’t transfer it or share it with anyone else.
• We can change or revoke your access at any time.
• Unless a repository’s own licence says otherwise, its contents are our confidential information. Keep them confidential, and don’t copy, publish or redistribute them.
• Where a repository includes a licence, that licence sets out how you may use the code in it.
• Your use of GitHub itself is governed by GitHub’s own terms.

You can book a 30-minute intro call with us, or start one straight away. These calls take place in an embedded video room on this site and are hosted by an SI video agent powered by Tavus, a third-party video provider. We tell you this before you book, and a call only goes ahead once you’ve agreed to it.

The conversation is transcribed, and the transcript and your booking details are sent to Ove at Spectrum Web Co, who follows up with you personally. We don’t enable video recording of these calls. Booking confirmations arrive by email with a calendar file you can add to any calendar. Our Privacy Policy explains how transcripts and booking details are handled.

The SI host is there to understand what you need and answer general questions. It can make mistakes, misunderstand you or get details wrong. Nothing it says is a binding offer, a quote, a commitment or professional advice. Scope and pricing only ever come in writing from a person at Spectrum Web Co.

Please treat the call like any other business meeting. Don’t share anything you wouldn’t want in a written transcript, such as passwords or private keys, and please don’t make bookings you don’t intend to keep.

Please use the site lawfully and with consideration for others. If you don’t, we may remove your access, as explained under “Suspending or closing accounts”.

In particular, you must not:

• Break the law, or infringe anyone’s rights, while using the site.
• Scrape, crawl or harvest content or data from members-only or other private areas of the site.
• Try to breach, probe or get around our security, sign-in or access controls.
• Abuse our contact form, newsletter sign-up or meeting booking — for example, by sending spam, making fake or bulk bookings, or entering someone else’s details without their permission.
• Impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your connection with anyone, including us.
• Upload or send malware, or anything else designed to damage or interfere with systems or data.
• Use our SI host to generate content that is harmful, abusive, misleading or unlawful, or try to manipulate it into doing so.
• Reverse-engineer, bulk-download, copy or strip protections from gated content, including Guides and private repositories.
• Overload, disrupt or interfere with the site, or with anyone else’s use of it.

The content on this site — including its text, 3D designs and illustrations, blog posts, Guides, code, and our name and logos — belongs to Spectrum Web Co or to the people who license it to us, and is protected by copyright and other laws. © Spectrum Web Co. Any rights not expressly granted in these terms are reserved.

You’re welcome to quote brief extracts, such as a few sentences from a blog post, as long as you credit Spectrum Web Co and link back to the original page. For anything more — republishing whole articles, reusing our 3D designs or images, or using our brand — please ask us first.

KanbanOS, ClippyOS, Desk Lanes and Auctioning are the names of our products. Please don’t use them, or our name, in a way that suggests we endorse or are connected with something when we aren’t.

When you send us something — a message, a brief or some feedback — you keep ownership of it. You give us permission to use it to respond to you and, in the case of feedback, to improve our work without owing you anything for it.

The site relies on, and links to, services run by other companies — including Google and X for signing in, Tavus for our SI host, GitHub for repositories, and whichever wallet software you choose to use. It may also link to other websites, including those of our own products.

We don’t control those services and aren’t responsible for their content, availability or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, so it’s worth reading those too. A link to another site isn’t an endorsement of it.

You’re responsible for the wallet software you use and for anything you sign with it. Always read what you’re being asked to sign before you approve it.

Our blog, Guides, service pages and anything said on an intro call are general information. They’re written to be useful, but they don’t take your particular circumstances into account and aren’t legal, financial, tax, investment or other professional advice. Nothing on the site about SI, Web3, crypto, tokens or blockchains is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.

We work to keep the site accurate, but technology moves quickly and some content may be out of date or incomplete. Before relying on something for an important decision, check it independently or get advice that suits your situation.

We aim to keep the site running smoothly, but we can’t promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors. We may change, pause or remove any part of it — including Guides, sign-in options and meeting booking — at any time.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or any other law, that can’t lawfully be excluded, restricted or changed. Where the law lets us limit our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited — at our option — to supplying the relevant services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.

Liability for paid work is set out in your written agreement with us. The rest of this section is about the website itself, which is free to use.

Subject to those rights, and to the extent permitted by law, we aren’t liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site, including:

• Indirect or consequential loss, or loss of profit, revenue, data, opportunity or goodwill.
• Loss caused by relying on general information on the site, in a Guide or during an SI intro call.
• Loss caused by third-party services, including sign-in providers, Tavus, GitHub or your wallet software.
• Loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages, cyber attacks or failures at our hosting and service providers.

You can stop using the site at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by emailing ove@spectrumweb.co.

We may suspend or close an account, remove access to Guides, revoke access to private repositories or block access to the site if we reasonably believe you’ve broken these terms, if we need to in order to protect the site, our members or anyone else, or if the law requires it. Where it’s appropriate and safe to do so, we’ll tell you why.

We may also stop offering membership features altogether. If we do, we’ll give members reasonable notice where we can.

When an account is closed, your access to members-only Guides and any private repositories ends. Anything in these terms that by its nature should continue — such as the confidentiality of repository content, the limits on sharing Guides and the section on consumer law and liability — continues to apply.

We may update these terms from time to time — for example, when we add features, change how the site works or respond to changes in the law. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated.

If we make a significant change, we’ll take reasonable steps to let members know, such as by email or with a notice on the site. Changes apply from the date they’re published and don’t apply retrospectively. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms. If you don’t agree with them, please stop using the site and let us know if you’d like your account deleted.

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts that can hear appeals from them.

If you use the site from outside Australia, you’re responsible for complying with your local laws. Nothing in this section takes away rights you have under laws that can’t be excluded.

If a dispute comes up, please contact us first — most things can be sorted out with a conversation. If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.

For questions about these terms, a request to delete your account, or to report something on the site that shouldn’t be there, email ove@spectrumweb.co.
