Terms of Service

Version 1.0 · Effective [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated [EFFECTIVE DATE]

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

Forge (the "Service") is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], a [STATE] [ENTITY TYPE] doing business as Maddock Studios ("we", "us", "our"). Our address is [BUSINESS ADDRESS].

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding contract between you and us. They cover:

• the Forge website and web application, including [SERVICE URL];
• the Forge Bridge desktop application ("Bridge");
• the Forge AI agent and everything it does on your behalf; and
• Forge credits and any purchase you make from us.

By creating an account, installing the Bridge, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Forge is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Roblox Corporation or Anthropic PBC. "Roblox" is a trademark of Roblox Corporation. "Claude" and related marks are trademarks of Anthropic PBC. We use those names only to describe what Forge works with.

2. Eligibility and age requirements

2.1 Minimum age

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that a user is under 13, we will close the account, delete the associated data, and refund any unused credits.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has used the Service, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL] and we will delete the account and its data.

2.2 Users aged 13 to 17

If you are between 13 and 17, you may use the Service only with the knowledge and permission of a parent or legal guardian, and only if that parent or guardian has read and agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You may not purchase credits. Accounts identified as belonging to a user under 18 cannot complete a purchase.

2.3 Purchases must be made by an adult

All purchases must be made by a person who is 18 years of age or older and who is either the authorized cardholder or has the cardholder's express permission. You will be asked to confirm this before every purchase. Making a purchase without the cardholder's permission is a breach of these Terms and may be unlawful.

2.4 Other requirements

• You must have a valid Roblox account in good standing.
• You must not be barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, and you must not be located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive US sanctions, or appear on any US government restricted-party list.
• The Service is offered only in [PERMITTED COUNTRIES — e.g. the United States and Canada]. We may block access from other locations.
• If you use the Service on behalf of a company or studio, you represent that you are authorized to bind it, and "you" means that organization.
• If your account has previously been terminated by us for cause, you may not create a new one.

3. Your account and Roblox sign-in

You sign in to Forge using Roblox's official OAuth login. We never see, receive, or store your Roblox password, session cookies, two-factor codes, or Roblox API keys. Through the Roblox sign-in we receive only: your Roblox user ID, username, display name, avatar image URL, and the date your Roblox account was created.

You are responsible for:

• keeping your Roblox account and your device secure;
• everything that happens under your Forge account, including credits spent and actions the agent takes in your Studio;
• keeping your Bridge tokens secret and revoking them if a device is lost, shared, or compromised; and
• giving us an accurate email address and keeping it current, so we can send receipts and important notices.

Tell us promptly at [SUPPORT EMAIL] if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

4. The Forge Bridge and what you authorize

4.1 Licence to use the Bridge

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download, install and run the Bridge on computers you own or control, solely to use the Service. You may not sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the Bridge, or reverse engineer it except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law.

4.2 What you are authorizing — read this carefully

4.3 Your responsibility for the environment

You are responsible for choosing which place is open when the Bridge is connected, and for the consequences of the agent acting in it. Do not connect the Bridge while a place you do not want modified is open. Keep a backup of any place you value before letting Forge work in it.

4.4 Updates

We may issue Bridge updates. Older versions may stop working with the Service. We publish checksums for each release; verify them if you wish.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service, and not to use anything the Service produces, to:

• violate any law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• violate the Roblox Terms of Use, Community Standards, or Creator Terms, including by creating content that circumvents Roblox moderation or chat filtering, simulates real-money gambling, or is otherwise prohibited on the Roblox platform;
• violate Anthropic's Usage Policies, which apply to everything the AI produces for you;
• create malware, exploits, backdoors, cheats, data-stealing scripts, or anything designed to defraud, harm, or gain unfair advantage over other Roblox users;
• generate sexual content, content sexualizing minors, harassment, hate speech, or content that promotes self-harm or violence;
• impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation with one;
• attempt to extract, reverse engineer, or reconstruct our system prompts, models, or underlying implementation, or to use the Service to build a competing AI service;
• bypass, disable, or interfere with rate limits, credit accounting, spend caps, security controls, or any other technical restriction;
• access the Service by automated means other than the Bridge and the panel, or resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties as a service of your own;
• connect the Bridge to a computer or Roblox Studio place you are not authorized to access; or
• abuse free trial credits, including by creating multiple accounts to obtain them.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate accounts under section 18. We may also refuse, filter, or stop any request the agent receives, at our discretion.

6. Credits, purchases and refunds

6.1 What credits are

Forge is paid for with prepaid credits. One credit represents $0.01 USD of retail value at the time of purchase. Credits are consumed when you send a message to the agent, based on the actual computation used, and the amount consumed is shown to you.

6.2 Buying credits

Credits are sold in prepaid packs through Stripe Checkout. We do not receive or store your full card number. Prices are in US dollars and are shown before you pay. Applicable sales tax or VAT, if any, is calculated at checkout.

Nothing on Forge renews automatically. We will never charge you without you completing a checkout. If we introduce subscriptions in the future, we will obtain your separate, affirmative consent to the recurring charge, tell you the price and billing interval, and give you a way to cancel online with the same ease you signed up.

6.3 Refunds

Because credits give you immediate access to paid computation, credit purchases are final and non-refundable, except:

• where a refund is required by applicable law (including any statutory right of withdrawal or cancellation that applies to you as a consumer, and any right of a minor to disaffirm a purchase);
• where credits were purchased without the cardholder's permission — contact us and we will refund;
• where a duplicate or erroneous charge occurred;
• where the Service was materially unavailable and you could not use the credits; or
• where we choose, at our discretion, to grant a refund. Doing so once does not oblige us to do so again.

To request a refund, email [SUPPORT EMAIL] with your Roblox username and the approximate purchase date. We aim to respond within [2 BUSINESS DAYS]. Where we grant a refund, we normally refund only unused credits and deduct the value of credits already spent.

6.4 Chargebacks and clawbacks

If a payment is refunded, reversed, or disputed with your bank or card issuer, we will remove the corresponding credits from your balance — including credits you have already spent, which may leave your balance at zero or negative — and we may suspend or close your account. If you think a charge is wrong, contact us first; we can almost always fix it faster than a bank dispute can.

6.5 Expiration

[EXPIRATION POLICY — recommended fill: "Credits do not expire."]

Drafting note (remove before publication): expiring prepaid balances may be regulated as gift certificates in some states — California Civil Code §1749.5 prohibits expiration dates on gift certificates outright — and unredeemed balances can create unclaimed-property obligations. Do not fill this with an expiration period without an attorney's sign-off. See docs/LEGAL_EXPOSURE_2026-09-05.md §8.

6.6 Free trial credits

New accounts may receive free trial credits. Trial credits are a promotion, not a purchase: they are limited to one grant per Roblox account, may require your Roblox account to be at least 30 days old, may be withdrawn or expired at any time, and are never refundable or convertible to cash.

6.7 Pricing, models and caps

The credit cost of a message depends on the AI model you select and on how much work the request requires. We show the model's price multiplier before you send, and the actual cost afterwards. We may change credit pricing, pack contents, model availability, or model multipliers at any time for future purchases and messages; credits you have already bought keep the credit balance you were granted.

We apply per-message, per-day and concurrency limits to protect you and us from runaway costs. You can set your own limits lower. We may also apply a global capacity limit, in which case messages will be temporarily declined and no credits will be charged.

6.8 Failed or interrupted messages

We reserve credits before a message runs and settle the difference afterwards. If a message fails before doing any work, the reserved credits are returned. If a message partially completes, you are charged for the computation actually used.

7. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)

You may instead supply your own Anthropic API key. If you do:

• Anthropic bills you directly for all model usage on your key. We have no control over, and no responsibility for, those charges. We do not cap them, and if a message runs long, your Anthropic bill grows accordingly.
• You pay us a flat platform fee per message, shown in the panel, taken from your Forge credit balance. That fee is charged when the message runs and is not refundable, because the work was performed.
• Your own agreement with Anthropic — including Anthropic's Commercial Terms and Usage Policies — governs those model calls. You are Anthropic's customer for them. You are responsible for complying with those terms.
• You confirm you are authorized to use the key you provide, and that using it through Forge does not breach your agreement with Anthropic or with anyone else.
• We encrypt your key at rest (AES-256-GCM), decrypt it only in memory for the duration of your own messages, never display it in full, never log it, and never use it for any purpose other than running your messages. You can delete it at any time from the panel, which removes it from our systems.
• You remain responsible for securing and rotating your key. If you suspect it has been exposed, revoke it in the Anthropic console immediately.
• Global capacity limits do not apply to BYOK messages, but the acceptable-use rules in section 5 do.

8. AI output and your responsibility to review it

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You must review, test and validate everything before you publish it. You are the developer of record for your game. Forge is a tool, not a substitute for your own judgment or for a qualified professional.
• Output may contain errors, security vulnerabilities, exploitable logic, data-loss bugs, performance problems, or code that breaches Roblox's rules — even when it looks correct and even when the agent's own playtest appears to succeed.
• A successful playtest and screenshot show that the agent observed a particular result at a particular moment. They are not a guarantee that the code is correct, safe, or complete.
• Output may be similar or identical to output generated for other users from similar prompts. It is not exclusive to you.
• The agent can create, modify and delete content in your place. Keep backups. We cannot restore your place.
• Content the agent reads from your place — including scripts, object names, asset descriptions and console output — is treated as data, not instructions. We take reasonable steps to prevent that content from steering the agent, but we cannot guarantee it. Be cautious with places containing untrusted free models.
• Assets the agent inserts from the Roblox Creator Store are third-party content. We do not warrant that they are safe, licensed, or free of scripts. Review anything inserted into a place you intend to publish.
• You are solely responsible for whether your game complies with Roblox's rules, with applicable law, and with any obligations you owe your own players.

We disclose clearly in the product that you are interacting with an AI. You agree not to represent Forge's output as having been created by a human where doing so would be misleading or unlawful.

9. Ownership: your content and your outputs

9.1 Your content stays yours

"Your Content" means everything you send to or expose to the Service: your prompts and messages, your place data, your scripts, your assets, your project names, and anything else you provide. You keep all rights in Your Content. We claim no ownership of it.

9.2 The narrow licence we need

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, display and process Your Content solely in order to:

• operate and deliver the Service to you, including sending the necessary parts of it to Anthropic's API to generate a response;
• store your chat history so you can see it later;
• diagnose and fix problems, and maintain security; and
• comply with law and enforce these Terms.

That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups pending deletion and records we must keep by law. This licence is not a general-purpose licence: we do not use Your Content for marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not share it except with the service providers listed in section 11.

9.3 We do not train on your data

We do not use Your Content, your chat history, or Forge's outputs to train AI models, and we do not permit our providers to do so on our behalf under our commercial API arrangements. If we ever wanted to, we would ask for your separate, opt-in consent first.

9.4 Outputs

"Output" means the code, assets, text, structures and other material Forge generates in response to your requests. As between you and us, you own the Output generated for you, and we assign to you whatever rights we may hold in it. You may use, modify, publish and commercialize it freely, subject to these Terms and to the rights of third parties.

Two honest caveats:

• Copyright in AI-generated material is unsettled. Under current US law, material generated by a machine without sufficient human authorship may not be protected by copyright. We cannot and do not promise that you will hold a valid copyright in raw Output. Your own creative selection, arrangement and modification of Output may be protectable.
• Output is not exclusive. Similar prompts can produce similar results for other users, and we may generate similar Output for others.

9.5 Feedback

If you send us ideas, bug reports or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation. You are not obliged to send us anything.

10. Our intellectual property

The Service itself — the website, the panel, the relay, the Bridge, our agent design and system prompts, our name, logo and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. These Terms grant you a licence to use the Service, not any ownership of it. All rights we do not expressly grant are reserved.

You may not use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you or your game, other than truthfully stating that your game was built with Forge.

11. Third-party services

Forge depends on services we do not control. Your use of the Service also involves them, and their terms apply to you where relevant.

We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, their terms, or their acts and omissions. If Roblox or Anthropic changes or withdraws access in a way that prevents us from operating, we will tell you and refund unused credits under section 18.4, but we will not be liable for other losses.

12. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe material stored on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to our designated agent:

Your notice must include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material claimed to infringe and enough information to locate it; your contact details; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the owner.

We will respond to valid notices, and we will accept counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages under §512(f).

13. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and how to access or delete it. It is part of these Terms. Please read it — particularly the sections on what leaves your computer, and on children's privacy.

14. Service availability and changes

We are a small studio. We do not promise any particular uptime, response time, or availability. We may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Service — including models, features, credit pricing, and rate limits — at any time.

If we permanently discontinue the Service, we will give you reasonable advance notice at the email address on your account where practical, and section 18.4 applies to your unused credits.

We may perform maintenance, apply capacity limits, or decline requests to protect the Service. Where a request is declined for capacity reasons, you are not charged.

15. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE, THE BRIDGE, AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THAT, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, SECURE, RELIABLE, NON-INFRINGING, OR FIT FOR PRODUCTION USE; THAT OUTPUT WILL COMPLY WITH ROBLOX'S RULES OR WITH ANY LAW; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT, GAME, REVENUE, OR OUTCOME.

You use Output at your own risk and are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, securing and publishing it. Forge does not provide legal, financial, security, or other professional advice.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable right you have as a consumer under the law of your home jurisdiction.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, ROBUX, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR DATA, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).

These limits apply in particular to: loss or corruption of your Roblox place or player data; defects, bugs or vulnerabilities in Output; actions the agent takes through the Bridge; moderation, removal, or loss of your Roblox game or account; and interruption or termination of any third-party service.

These limits do not apply to our gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer, nothing here limits your non-waivable statutory rights.

These allocations of risk are a fundamental part of the bargain between us and are reflected in the price of the Service. They survive termination.

17. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] and its owners, employees and contractors from any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• your use of the Service or of any Output, including any game you publish;
• Your Content, including any claim that it infringes or misappropriates someone's rights;
• your breach of these Terms, of the Roblox Terms of Use or Community Standards, or of Anthropic's Usage Policies;
• your violation of any law or of anyone's rights; or
• a purchase made on your account without the cardholder's authorization.

We will notify you of any such claim and may take over its defense at our own expense; you will cooperate with us. You will not settle any claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.

18. Suspension and termination

18.1 By you

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from the panel. Deleting your account permanently deletes your projects, chat history and credit balance. Unused credits are forfeited on voluntary deletion unless you request a refund first under section 6.3 and we grant it. If you want a refund, ask before you delete.

18.2 By us, for cause

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms — in particular section 2 (age), section 5 (acceptable use) or section 6.4 (chargebacks) — or if required by law, by Roblox, or by Anthropic. Where we terminate for cause, unused credits are forfeited and no refund is due.

18.3 By us, without cause

We may terminate your account or discontinue the Service without cause on reasonable notice. If we do, we will refund your unused credits at the rate you paid, to your original payment method where possible, or otherwise as the law requires.

18.4 If a third party ends the Service

If Roblox or Anthropic withdraws access in a way that prevents us from operating, we will notify you and refund unused credits under section 18.3. That refund is your sole and exclusive remedy in that situation.

18.5 What survives

Sections 6.4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 21 survive termination, along with any other provision that by its nature should survive.

19. Governing law, arbitration and class waiver

19.1 Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act as to section 19.3. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.

19.2 Talk to us first

Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to email [LEGAL EMAIL] with a description of the dispute and the relief you want, and to give us 60 days to resolve it informally. We agree to do the same before making a claim against you. Most problems get solved here.

19.3 Binding individual arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by [ARBITRATION PROVIDER — e.g. the American Arbitration Association] under its [CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES], rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. It may be held by telephone or video, or, at your election, in the county where you live or in [COUNTY, STATE]. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could.

We will pay the arbitration filing and administrative fees for any claim of [$10,000] or less that you bring in good faith, beyond any amount the rules require you to pay. Each side otherwise bears its own legal fees unless the law or the arbitrator provides otherwise.

19.4 Class action waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS PROCEEDING. IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST WILL BE SEVERED AND HEARD IN COURT, AND THE REST OF SECTION 19.3 WILL STILL APPLY TO EVERYTHING ELSE.

19.5 How to opt out of arbitration

19.6 Court claims

If arbitration does not apply — because you opted out, because a claim qualifies for small-claims court, or because a claim is found non-arbitrable — you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE], and each waives any objection to venue there. Either party may always bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorized access.

19.7 Time limit

To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

19.8 Changes to this section

If we change section 19 in a way that materially affects you, we will notify you, and you will have 30 days from the notice to opt out of the changed arbitration terms using the method in 19.5.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the version number and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email to the address on your account and by a notice in the panel, and we will ask you to accept the new Terms the next time you sign in. Non-material changes take effect when posted.

If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service before it takes effect and contact us within 30 days to request a refund of your unused credits. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.

21. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and replace any earlier understandings.
• Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create rights for anyone other than you and us, except that our owners, employees and contractors may enforce sections 15, 16 and 17.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages or policy changes at Roblox, Anthropic, Stripe, or our hosting providers.
• Independent parties. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
• Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, or a national or resident of, a country subject to comprehensive US sanctions, and that you are not on any US restricted-party list. You will not export or re-export the Service in violation of US export control laws.
• Notices. We may send you notices by email to the address on your account or by posting in the panel. Send notices to us at [LEGAL EMAIL].
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only, and the English version controls.
