Terms of Service

1. Parties and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Codebrain Forge ("the Service"), operated by the site owner ("we," "us," or "Forge"). By creating an account or subscribing to any plan, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. What the Service Is

Codebrain Forge is a subscription licensing platform. It manages the commercial print rights for a specific collection of 3D models. The model files themselves are not sold or distributed through this Service. They're free to download elsewhere (currently MakerWorld). The Service exists only to grant and manage the commercial right to sell physical prints of those models.

3. Commercial Print License

A commercial subscription (Print License 100 or Print License 500) grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to manufacture and sell physical printed objects ("Prints") derived from covered 3D models, subject to the following conditions:

• — The license is valid only while your subscription is active and in good standing.
• — You may sell only up to your plan's monthly print cap (100 or 500 physical items per calendar month).
• — The license covers physical Prints only. It does not cover digital files, digital products, or any derivative digital works.
• — The license is personal to you and your account. It cannot be transferred, sublicensed, or shared.

4. What's Never Permitted

Whatever plan you're on, the following are always prohibited:

• ✕ Reselling, redistributing, sharing, bundling, leaking, or otherwise transferring the digital model files to any third party.
• ✕ Claiming ownership of the original designs or misrepresenting the source of the models.
• ✕ Selling physical Prints after your subscription has lapsed, been canceled, or otherwise ended.
• ✕ Commercial selling of Prints under a Fan Membership plan, which carries no commercial print resale rights.

5. Fan Membership

Fan Membership is a supporter plan. It grants no commercial print resale rights, and Fan subscribers may not sell physical prints of covered models. It exists so supporters can contribute financially to the creator without needing a commercial license.

6. Usage Declaration

Commercial subscribers must honestly declare their monthly print sales in the usage dashboard. This is a compliance mechanism. We may review declarations and take action on accounts that appear to materially underreport sales or exceed their licensed volume without upgrading.

7. Subscription and Billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. Billing is processed through Stripe. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, during which your license remains active. No refunds are provided for partial months. We reserve the right to modify pricing with reasonable notice.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account for a material breach of these Terms, including unauthorized redistribution of digital files, fraudulent usage declarations, or selling outside an active license. Termination ends all license rights immediately.

9. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is." We make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Our liability to you is limited to the amount you paid in the 30 days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator resides. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we'll update the version number and notify active subscribers. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.
