Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 25, 2026

Please read these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") carefully before purchasing or using any product from SpecDevShip ("SpecDevShip," "we," "us," or "our"). By purchasing, downloading, or using a SpecDevShip product — including the free Field Guide or the paid Skill Pack — you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use our products.

1. Who We Are

SpecDevShip is operated by Corey Struzan. For any questions about these Terms, contact us at [email address hidden; enable JavaScript to see it].

2. Our Products

SpecDevShip offers:

• The Field Guide — a free eBook explaining our spec-driven development workflow.
• The Skill Pack — a paid, one-time-purchase digital product consisting of installable skill files ("skills") that implement a spec-driven development workflow for use with AI coding agents. The Skill Pack is currently distributed as a Claude Code Edition; additional editions for other AI coding agents may be added over time as part of the same product (see Section 4, "Lifetime Updates," below).

Both products are digital goods delivered electronically. Nothing physical is shipped. The Skill Pack is delivered as read-only access to a private GitHub repository, so you need a GitHub account to receive it.

3. License Grant

When you purchase the Skill Pack, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

• Access the Skill Pack's private repository with your own GitHub account, and download (clone), install, and use its contents in your own personal or commercial software projects, without limit on the number of projects you use it in;
• Modify your own local copy of the skill files for your own use.

This license does not permit you to:

• Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or redistribute the Skill Pack (or substantially similar derivative works of it) to any third party, whether for free or for payment;
• Publish, mirror, or otherwise make the Skill Pack's files publicly available in a way that would allow others to obtain it without purchasing it themselves;
• Share your access to the Skill Pack's repository with others, or give others access through your GitHub account;
• Claim authorship of the Skill Pack itself, or represent it as a product of your own creation.

You may use output produced with the help of the Skill Pack (i.e., code, documents, or specs your AI agent generates while the pack is installed) however you like, including commercially, without restriction or attribution.

4. "Lifetime" Updates — What This Means

Where we describe the Skill Pack as including "lifetime updates," this specifically means:

• You will receive, at no additional charge, all future updates, bug fixes, and improvements made to the Skill Pack product you purchased, for as long as SpecDevShip continues to actively develop, update, and offer that specific product for sale.
• This includes additional AI coding agent editions released as part of the same Skill Pack product line (for example, if a Cursor, Copilot, or other agent edition is released later, it is included as an update to your existing purchase, not sold separately) — provided the Skill Pack remains an actively maintained, for-sale product at the time such an edition ships.
• "Lifetime" refers to the lifetime of this specific product, not to SpecDevShip as a company, nor to the buyer's own lifetime. If SpecDevShip discontinues the Skill Pack entirely and stops offering it for sale and stops updating it, our obligation to provide further updates ends at that point. You retain the right to keep and use whatever version of the Skill Pack you last received.
• "Lifetime updates" to the Skill Pack does not entitle you to any other, separate product SpecDevShip may release now or in the future under the SpecDevShip brand name — including, without limitation, different tools, guides, subscriptions, services, or unrelated skill packs. Each SpecDevShip product is a distinct purchase unless we explicitly state otherwise at the time of sale.

5. Payments & Pricing

• The Skill Pack is sold as a one-time payment; it is not a subscription, and you will not be charged again for continued access to updates covered under Section 4.
• Prices are subject to change at any time for future purchasers. A price change does not retroactively affect a purchase you have already made, and does not entitle existing purchasers to a refund or credit for the difference.
• All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. You are responsible for any applicable sales tax, VAT, or similar charges required by your jurisdiction; where required by law, such charges will be calculated and collected at checkout.
• Orders are processed by Polar (polar.sh), our online reseller and merchant of record. Polar handles checkout, payment, applicable sales tax and VAT, receipts, and payment-related inquiries, and its own terms of sale also apply to your purchase. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

6. Refund Policy: 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If the Skill Pack isn't right for you, you can request a full refund within 14 days of your purchase, for any reason. Contact [email address hidden; enable JavaScript to see it] with the email address you used at checkout and your order details. Approved refunds are issued through Polar, our merchant of record, to your original payment method.

Before you request a refund, please keep in mind:

• A refund ends your access, including lifetime updates. Your license under Section 3 terminates, your access to the Skill Pack's repository is removed, and you must delete any copies of the Skill Pack in your possession. You will no longer receive the updates, improvements, and new agent editions described in Section 4.
• Your price and offer aren't held for you. Prices, launch pricing, and discount offers change over time and may not be available again. If you buy again later, the price and terms in effect at that time apply.
• After 14 days, purchases are final, except for billing problems: a duplicate or erroneous charge, or a checkout failure that prevented delivery and that we are unable to resolve by simply re-sending your access. Contact [email address hidden; enable JavaScript to see it] with your order details if either applies, and we will make it right.
• Polar may also issue refunds at its own discretion as merchant of record, for example to resolve a payment dispute. Such a refund ends your access in the same way.
• Your legal rights are not affected. If the law where you live gives you additional rights, such as a statutory right of withdrawal, those rights still apply.
• The free Field Guide has no associated payment and is therefore not eligible for a refund.

7. Intellectual Property

The Skill Pack, the Field Guide, our website, and all associated content, branding, and materials are the intellectual property of SpecDevShip and are protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws. Purchasing a license under Section 3 does not transfer any ownership rights to you. All rights not expressly granted to you under Section 3 are reserved.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the products for any unlawful purpose;
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any licensing, access, or delivery mechanism we use to distribute the products;
• Use automated means to scrape, copy, or redistribute our website content or product files beyond your own licensed use.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The products are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Skill Pack will produce any particular result in your projects, that it will be compatible with every AI coding agent or every version of an agent, or that it will be error-free or uninterrupted. Results from using any AI coding agent — with or without our products — depend heavily on factors outside our control, including the underlying AI model's own behavior.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SpecDevShip and its owners, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, our products — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from your purchase will not exceed the amount you actually paid us for the product giving rise to the claim.

11. Third-Party Services

Our products are designed to work with third-party AI coding agent platforms (such as Claude Code) that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for changes, discontinuation, outages, or policy changes made by those third-party platforms that affect how our products function. We also use third-party service providers — including an email marketing platform, Polar as our merchant of record for purchases, and GitHub to deliver the Skill Pack — to deliver our products and communications; their own terms and privacy practices also apply to your use of their services.

12. Changes to the Product

We may update, modify, improve, or discontinue any product (or any feature of it) at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes to existing customers via email, but are not obligated to maintain any specific feature indefinitely.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify existing customers by email. Continued use of our products after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer-protection law in your own jurisdiction provides otherwise.
