Terms of Service

Appendix B · Legal · Last updated: September 14, 2026

These terms govern your use of forgemuse.net (the “Site”), the ForgeMuse beta programme and the ForgeMuse desktop application (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We have tried to write them in plain language; the plain language is still binding.

B.1Who we are

The Service is operated by ForgeMuse, registered in the Netherlands (KVK 42109815, btw-id NL869775716B01). Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected].

B.2The beta

ForgeMuse is currently offered as a private beta. That means, honestly:

  • the Service is provided as-is and is still changing; features may be added, altered or removed without notice;
  • things may break, and builds, sessions or data created during the beta may need to be reset;
  • access is by invitation, is personal to you, and may be granted, limited or withdrawn at our discretion;
  • feedback you choose to give us about the beta may be used to improve the Service, without obligation or compensation.

B.3Your account

You need an account to use the desktop app. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your sign-in credentials to yourself, and to tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised. You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account. You can delete your account yourself at any time from your dashboard; deletion removes your account data as described in our Privacy Policy.

B.4Bring your own model

ForgeMuse runs on a coding-agent subscription of your own: a Claude plan from Anthropic connected through Claude Code, or a ChatGPT plan from OpenAI connected through Codex. You may connect either or both. This matters for the terms:

  • your relationship with Anthropic, OpenAI or any future supported provider is your own: you are responsible for holding a valid subscription and for complying with that provider’s terms and usage policies;
  • we do not resell model access, and we are not responsible for the availability, pricing, output or policy decisions of your model provider;
  • if your provider suspends or limits your plan, parts of the Service will not work, and that is between you and your provider.

B.5Your work is yours

You keep everything. The ideas you describe, the prompts you speak or type, and the code, designs and products the swarm builds for you are yours, including the intellectual property in them, to the extent we could ever have claimed any. You can export your work at any time. We take no licence over your work except the minimal one needed to operate the Service for you (for example, processing your input so the agents can act on it).

B.6AI-generated output

What the swarm produces is generated by AI. AI agents are capable and diligent, and they also make mistakes: output may be wrong, insecure or unsuitable for your purpose, and you are responsible for reviewing it before you rely on it, ship it to customers or use it in production. Where the law requires content to be identified as AI-generated, that responsibility is yours once the work leaves ForgeMuse.

B.7Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for anything unlawful, or to build things designed to harm, defraud or surveil others;
  • attempt to gain access to accounts, systems or data that are not yours;
  • interfere with the operation of the Service, including probing, overloading or circumventing its limits or security measures;
  • resell, rent or provide the Service to third parties as a service of your own;
  • use the Service to violate your model provider’s usage policies.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.

B.8Voice, and what fair use means

A paid plan includes voice in both directions at no extra charge. There are no per-minute fees, no credits to buy and no tokens to count.

Listening is unmetered. Speak to ForgeMuse as much as you want. Transcribing what you say costs us a small fraction of what speaking back costs, so there is no allowance to watch and nothing to run out of.

Speaking out loud carries a fair-use ceiling. Synthesised speech is the one part of the Service we buy by the character, so a plan includes about 71 minutes of spoken replies a month, and about 14 minutes in any single day. The ceiling exists to stop a runaway or compromised client from draining an account, not to ration ordinary work. We publish the current figures here and show you where you stand in your account.

If you do reach a ceiling, nothing is charged, nothing is cut off and no work is lost. The spoken voice rests until the period resets, the app tells you so, and every other part of the Service, including listening and everything the swarm builds, carries on unaffected. If you have a real reason to need more, write to [email protected] and we will sort it out. We will give reasonable advance notice before lowering these figures, and any reduction applies from your next renewal.

B.9Billing

Parts of the Service may require a paid ForgeMuse subscription. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your full card details. In summary:

  • Renewal: subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in the Stripe billing portal, in which case your subscription runs until the end of the period you paid for.
  • Yearly plans: after the first year, a yearly plan continues as an open-ended subscription you can end at any time with one month’s notice, with a pro-rata refund of the unused remainder. It never renews into another fixed year.
  • Trials: if a free trial is offered, your card is registered up front and charged only when the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing.
  • Withdrawal and refunds: if you are an EU consumer you have a 14-day right of withdrawal. How it works, and our own refund policy, is on the Cancellation & Refunds page. Mandatory rights under the law of your country are always unaffected.
  • Founding-member price lock: if you subscribed at a founding-member or other promotional price, that price stays yours for as long as your subscription remains continuously active, even after the regular price changes.
  • Price changes: otherwise, we will give you reasonable advance notice of price changes, and they will only apply from your next renewal.

B.10No warranty

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. You are responsible for reviewing what the agents build before you rely on it, ship it to customers or use it in production.

B.11Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ForgeMuse is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of data or business interruption arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose (or, if you paid us nothing, to zero). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for intent or gross negligence, and nothing in these terms limits the mandatory rights you have as a consumer.

B.12Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we wind down the beta; where reasonable, we will give you notice and the opportunity to export your work first.

B.13Governing law and disputes

These terms, and any dispute about them or the Service, are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be brought before the competent court in the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in your own country’s courts. If you have a complaint, email [email protected] first; we respond to complaints within 14 days and would much rather fix things than litigate.

B.14Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. We will post the new version here and update the date above; for material changes we will notify you by email or in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms.
