Terms of Service
Last updated: 12 October 2026
In short: SchematicStudio is a drawing tool. You own your drawings; we own the software. You are responsible for checking that your designs are correct and safe before anything is built from them. You can cancel any time.
1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and SchematicStudios (“we”, “us”), which runs SchematicStudio at schematicstudio.co.uk (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you are using it for a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. The Service
SchematicStudio is a browser-based tool for drawing electrical schematics, managing cables and terminals, laying out control panels and producing a bill of materials. There is a Free plan and a paid Pro plan. What each includes is described on our website and in the user guide. We may improve, change or remove features over time. If we make a change that significantly reduces what you have paid for, we will tell you and you can cancel.
3. Your account
- You must be at least 18 and give us a real email address that you can access.
- Keep your password secret and tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for activity on it.
- An account is for one person. By default it can be signed in on one device at a time.
- You can change your password or delete your account at any time from My account.
4. Free trial, Pro plan and payment
- Trial: every new account gets 30 days of Pro access with no card needed. When the trial ends you move to the Free plan unless you subscribe. Your projects are kept, but Pro features and saving beyond the Free plan limits are unavailable until you upgrade.
- Pro price: £14.99 per month including VAT. It is charged monthly in advance by our payment provider, Stripe, and renews automatically until you cancel.
- Price changes: we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before a price rise takes effect, so you can cancel first.
- Cancelling: cancel at any time using Manage Billing in the editor. You keep Pro until the end of the period you have paid for, then move to Free. We do not give refunds for part-used months, except where the law says we must.
- Your right to change your mind: if you are a consumer (using the Service outside your trade or profession), you have the right to cancel within 14 days of subscribing and get a refund. If you start using Pro in that time, we may deduct a fair amount for the days you used. Tell us by email, or just cancel and ask.
- Failed payments: if a payment fails we will let you know and give you a chance to fix it. If it is not resolved, your account moves to the Free plan.
5. Your content
- You own the drawings, symbols and other content you create (“Your Content”). We claim no ownership of it.
- You give us permission to store, process and display Your Content only as needed to run the Service for you (for example, saving and loading your projects and making backups).
- You promise that you have the right to upload what you add, including logos, DXF files and third-party symbols, and that it does not break anyone’s rights or the law.
- We keep your projects safe with reasonable care, but you should keep your own copies of important work. Pro users can export projects as files.
- We do not look at your projects except when you ask us to help, when needed to keep the Service working, or where the law requires.
6. Our software and content
The Service, its source code, design, symbols supplied by us, help text and branding belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other rights. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service while your account is active. You must not:
- copy, modify, resell, sub-license or share access to the Service or its code, except for the output you create with it;
- reverse-engineer it or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows;
- scrape it, or use bots or scripts to access it other than through the editor;
- try to break, overload or bypass the security or plan limits of the Service, or access anyone else’s account or data.
Drawings you produce with the Service, including printed and exported ones, are yours to use for any purpose, including commercially.
7. Acceptable use
Do not use the Service for anything unlawful, to upload malicious code, or to store content that infringes others’ rights or is abusive. We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these terms, and will tell you why where we can.
8. Important: you must check your designs
SchematicStudio is a drawing and documentation aid. It is not an engineering authority. It does not check that a design is safe, correct, or compliant with any standard or regulation (for example BS 7671, IEC 60204-1 or machinery and EMC requirements). Bills of materials, cable and terminal schedules, dimensions and other generated output depend on what is entered and may contain mistakes.
A suitably competent person must check and approve every design, and verify all output, before anything is ordered, built, wired or put into service. Electrical work can cause injury, death and fire. You are responsible for how you use the output.
9. Availability
We work to keep the Service running but cannot promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may carry out maintenance or have outages. The Service is provided “as is” to the extent the law allows.
10. Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are not affected, including that digital services must be provided with reasonable care and skill.
Otherwise, and in particular for business customers:
- we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, or for any indirect or consequential loss;
- we are not liable for loss or damage arising from designs, quotes or products built from output of the Service without proper checking, as set out in section 8; and
- our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of £100 and the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.
11. Ending the agreement
You can stop at any time by deleting your account from My account, which also cancels any subscription. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or to comply with the law. If we close it for any other reason we will give you reasonable notice and a chance to export your work. When an account is deleted, your data is removed as described in the Privacy Policy.
12. Your data
How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when we change features or the law changes. For changes that matter, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the app. If you keep using the Service after that date, you accept the new terms. If you do not agree, you can cancel before they apply.
14. General
- These terms, with the Privacy and Cookie policies, are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
- If a part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
- If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up.
- You may not transfer your account to someone else without our consent. We may transfer the Service to another business that takes it over.
- We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
15. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring a claim in your local courts. If you have a complaint, email us first and we will try to resolve it.
