Both 你说的对 and 你说得对 could be valid.

你说的对 means 你说的内容对:what you said is right.

你说得对 means either 'you said it right' or 'it's right/correct for you to say it'. 得 here is an effect or result complement.

However, 'you are right' should be interpreted as '你是对的'. Specially for "You are right in terms of xxx": 在xxx方面,你是对的 or 从xxx角度(来看/来说), 你是对的.

For example, you are right in terms of time or money: 从时间或金钱的角度来说, 你是对的。
