Terms of Service

Effective date: 1 January 2026

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Spectrum platform. They govern your access to and use of Spectrum Analytics' portfolio analytics services, including our website, web application, APIs, and AI-powered assistant.

Key Points Summary

Spectrum AI is an analytics tool — not an investment adviser. Nothing here is financial advice.

You own your portfolio data. We use it only to run the analytics you request.

AI-generated insights are informational. Verify important decisions with a SEBI-registered adviser.

All disputes are governed by Indian law, with courts in Mumbai having exclusive jurisdiction.

Our liability is capped at 3 months' fees paid or INR 5,000, whichever is greater.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Agreement

By creating an account or using any part of the Spectrum platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract under Indian law. If you are using Spectrum on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Modifications

We may revise these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified by email and in-app notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

What Spectrum Provides

Spectrum is a quantitative portfolio analytics platform for Indian equity investors. It provides tools for performance measurement, risk analysis, factor-based attribution, portfolio optimisation, market data, and AI-assisted interpretation of financial metrics. All outputs are for informational and analytical purposes only.

Not Investment Advice

Spectrum AI is an analytics and reporting tool. It does not provide investment advice, financial planning services, portfolio management, brokerage, or any service regulated under the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations 2013 or the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations 2020. Nothing on the platform constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.

AI Assistant

Spectrum includes an AI-powered assistant that can explain analytics, interpret metrics, and answer questions about your portfolio data. AI-generated responses are for educational and informational purposes only and must not be relied upon as financial advice. AI outputs may contain errors or omissions; always verify material information independently.

Data Sources

Market data, index values, corporate action adjustments, and economic indicators are sourced from third-party data providers. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, we do not warrant that data is complete, error-free, or current. Market data may be delayed by up to 15 minutes.

3. Account Registration & Security

Account Creation

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering. You are responsible for keeping your account information up to date.

Credentials

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must not share your credentials with any third party. Notify us immediately at support@spectrumanalytics.in if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

One Account Per User

Each individual user may maintain only one free-tier account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts.

4. Subscription Plans & Billing

Plan Tiers

Spectrum is offered on a freemium basis with paid subscription tiers ("Pro" and "Institutional"). Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in Indian Rupees (INR) inclusive of applicable GST. Current pricing is published at spectrumanalytics.in/pricing.

Payment

Subscription fees are charged in advance at the start of each billing cycle. Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider. By providing payment details, you authorise us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred.

Free Trial

Where a free trial is offered, it begins on the date of your first subscription. At the end of the trial, your plan will automatically convert to the paid tier at the stated price unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Refunds

Annual subscriptions are eligible for a prorated refund if cancelled within 30 days of the billing date. Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable. Refunds will not be issued for partial months or for accounts terminated due to breach of these Terms.

Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with 30 days' notice. Price changes will not affect the current billing cycle; they take effect on the next renewal date.

5. Acceptable Use

Permitted Use

You may use Spectrum solely for your own lawful portfolio analytics purposes or, in the case of a business subscription, for the internal analytics needs of your organisation.

Prohibited Activities

You must not: (a) use the platform to engage in market manipulation, insider trading, or any activity prohibited under the SEBI Act or the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the platform; (c) use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to extract data at scale; (d) resell, sublicense, or redistribute Spectrum's analytics outputs or data as a commercial product without our written consent; (e) upload false, misleading, or fraudulent portfolio data; or (f) attempt to circumvent the platform's security measures or access data belonging to other users.

Compliance with Law

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Spectrum complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including securities laws, tax laws, and SEBI regulations.

6. Intellectual Property

Platform Ownership

All rights, title, and interest in the Spectrum platform — including software, algorithms, quantitative models, user interface, branding, and documentation — are owned by Spectrum Analytics or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

Your Data

You retain ownership of all portfolio data, holdings information, and transaction records you upload to the platform. You grant Spectrum a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your data solely to provide the service to you.

Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the service, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual licence to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

Reports & Outputs

You may download and use analytics reports generated by Spectrum for your personal or internal business purposes. You may not resell, publicly redistribute, or present these reports as your own original research without clearly attributing them to Spectrum.

7. Financial Disclaimers

No Investment Advice

Spectrum does not hold a SEBI Investment Adviser registration. All metrics, factor scores, optimisation outputs, and AI-generated commentary are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute investment advice, solicitation to transact in securities, or portfolio management services.

Past Performance

Historical performance data, backtests, and simulations shown on the platform are not guarantees of future results. Equity investments are subject to market risk and can result in the loss of capital.

Model Limitations

Quantitative models — including factor regressions, regime detection, stress tests, and efficient frontier optimisations — are based on historical data and mathematical assumptions that may not hold in all market conditions. Model outputs should be treated as one input among many in any investment decision process.

Consult a Professional

Before making any investment decision based on information viewed on Spectrum, you should consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser who understands your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, and objectives.

8. Limitation of Liability

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Spectrum platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of data, or uninterrupted availability.

Limitation of Damages

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Spectrum's aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim, or (b) INR 5,000. Spectrum shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits or investment losses.

Force Majeure

Spectrum is not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including SEBI regulatory actions, exchange outages, internet disruptions, natural disasters, or government-mandated shutdowns.

9. Termination

By You

You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Analytics data will be available until then; after termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately without notice if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if continued service would expose us to legal liability. We may also terminate accounts on paid plans that are more than 15 days overdue after providing 7 days' notice.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the service ends immediately. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
