Terms of Service

To use certain features, you may need an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and current information.
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or remain inactive for extended periods.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and confirm that:

• You own it or have the rights required to upload and share it.
• It does not infringe third-party rights.
• It complies with applicable law and platform rules.
• It does not contain malware, exploits, scams, or harmful material.

You must not:

• Upload illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or infringing content.
• Distribute malware or attempt to exploit, probe, or disrupt the Platform.
• Harass, threaten, or abuse other users.
• Circumvent account, security, payment, or platform restrictions.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

Redistributing content obtained from FortForge without permission from the rights holder or under a valid applicable license is prohibited.

We may respond by removing content, suspending accounts, or issuing takedown or other legal notices.

FortForge may offer paid plans, subscription products, or other paid digital services ("Paid Services"). Paid Services may include recurring billing and plan-based feature access.

By purchasing or subscribing to Paid Services, you agree to:

• Pay all fees and charges associated with the selected plan.
• Provide and maintain a valid payment method.
• Authorize FortForge and its payment providers to charge you on a recurring basis where applicable.

Paid Services are digital services. Features, limits, and availability may evolve over time.

Subscription billing renews automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. Charges are typically collected at the start of each billing cycle.

All subscription billing and subscription payment processing is handled by third-party payment providers, including Stripe, through Stripe-hosted checkout, billing, or payment management pages. FortForge does not directly process payment card details for subscriptions on its own site or systems.

You agree to keep billing information and payment methods current and accurate.

If payment fails, the payment provider may retry collection according to its billing settings and workflows. Your account may become past due, unpaid, or otherwise ineligible for continued paid access until payment is resolved.

Separate payment or donation flows made available elsewhere on the Platform may be handled by different third-party providers and governed by the terms applicable to those flows.

Prices are shown in the currency and format presented at the time of purchase. Taxes, including VAT or similar taxes, may be added where required by law.

We may change pricing, packaging, or plan structure from time to time. Unless stated otherwise, pricing changes apply no earlier than the next billing cycle or renewal.

You may cancel a subscription at any time through available account or billing tools.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and does not retroactively reverse charges already incurred.

Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and partial billing period refunds are not provided.

Because FortForge provides digital services, refunds are generally not offered once service access has begun.

Paid and free plans may differ by included features, quotas, and restrictions, such as:

• Download quotas and daily limits.
• Upload size limits.
• Live resource and draft limits.
• Scheduled publishing eligibility.
• Analytics access levels.
• External link permissions.
• Early access or limited-release features.

We may change plan features, thresholds, limits, eligibility rules, or availability over time, including to improve the Platform, respond to abuse, or change commercial offerings.

If you change plans, the effective timing of the change, any proration, and any resulting billing adjustments may depend on the billing configuration then in use, including settings managed through Stripe or the customer billing portal.

Access to features may expand, contract, or change when a plan change becomes effective. If your account exceeds a lower plan's limits after downgrade or cancellation, we may disable or restrict affected features or require you to reduce usage to remain within plan limits.

If payment is not successfully received or maintained:

• Access to Paid Services may be suspended, limited, or removed.
• Your account may revert to a free or lower-tier access level.
• Continued non-payment may result in termination of paid access or the account itself.

You must not initiate fraudulent or abusive chargebacks, payment disputes, or refund claims.

If we believe a chargeback or dispute is fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent with these Terms, we may suspend the account, revoke access, or pursue recovery of amounts owed.

We may offer promotional pricing, founder pricing, discounts, or other limited-time offers. Such offers may be subject to eligibility rules, deadlines, availability limits, and additional terms.

Promotional or founder pricing does not guarantee future pricing, and we may modify, end, or revoke offers where misuse, abuse, error, or changed commercial conditions require it.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where reasonably possible, we will provide at least 3 days' notice before updated Terms take effect.

Continued use of the Platform on or after the effective date provided in that notice means you accept the revised Terms. If we request your consent through an in-product popup or similar notice, your acceptance through that flow also means you accept the revised Terms.
