Terms of Service

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.

Who 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].

The 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• access is by invitation, is personal to you, and may be granted, limited or withdrawn at our discretion;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.

Your 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.

Bring your own model

ForgeMuse runs on your own Claude subscription, connected through Claude Code. This matters for the terms:

• your relationship with Anthropic (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.

Your 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).

AI-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.

Acceptable 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.

Billing

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.

No 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.

Limitation 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.

Termination

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.

Governing 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.

Changes 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.
