Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Voltbench website and web application (the "Service"), operated by Voltbench. By creating an account, purchasing a report, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

About Voltbench

Voltbench provides web-based electrical engineering calculation tools. The Service guides you through a standards-based method, computes results from the inputs you supply, and can produce a downloadable report documenting the calculation.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and able to enter into a binding contract, to purchase from or use the Service.

Our Products and Services

The Service offers one or more calculation tools, with additional tools added over time. The guided wizard and on-screen results are provided free of charge; downloadable reports are paid. We may add, modify, or discontinue tools or features with reasonable notice.

Professional Use and Responsibility

Voltbench is a calculation aid intended for use by, or under the supervision of, a qualified engineer. Its results and reports support and do not replace the professional judgement of a licensed engineer, who remains the engineer of record and is solely responsible for any design decision and for compliance with applicable codes and standards. You are responsible for verifying all inputs and for independently confirming all outputs before relying on them. Referenced standards remain the property of their respective bodies; Voltbench is an independent tool and is not endorsed by or affiliated with any standards body.

Payments and Billing

Access is sold in three ways, all shown on the pricing page: a single study as a one-off purchase, a Building Pass as a one-off purchase covering one structure, or a subscription covering every structure in your account while it is active.

A Building Pass covers one physical structure. It unlocks every study of the building it was bought for, together with the reports and combined dossier for that building, and it does not expire; revising, recomputing, and re-issuing that building's studies as the design develops is included and is never charged again. It does not extend to a different structure. Where a project is edited so that it describes a substantially different building rather than a revision of the same one, that is a new structure and needs its own pass. A single-study purchase is scoped the same way, to one study of one structure.

Documents you issue while a subscription is active remain available to you for download after it ends; continued access to the on-screen working, and the issuing of further documents, require the subscription to be active or the relevant building or study to have been purchased outright.

All payments are processed by our reseller and Merchant of Record, Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), which handles billing, invoicing, and applicable taxes. Prices are displayed in USD and, where shown as inclusive, include applicable taxes. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle's buyer terms. We do not receive or store your card details.

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled as described in our refund policy.

License and Permitted Use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own professional or personal engineering work. You may not resell or redistribute access, reverse engineer the Service, or use automated means to abuse it. Reports you generate from your own inputs are yours to use for your projects.

Intellectual Property

The Service, its software, design, and branding belong to Voltbench or its licensors. The inputs and project data you enter remain yours.

Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties such as Paddle (payments) and our hosting providers. We are not responsible for the availability or terms of third-party services.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results will meet your requirements.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Voltbench excludes liability for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the 90 days preceding the claim.

Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts.
