Terms of Service
These Terms govern your use of Forge, a learning and trivia service operated by Gavin Bebee (“we”, “us”). By creating an account, continuing as a guest, or otherwise using Forge, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Forge.
1. Who can use Forge
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm a parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
- Give accurate information, keep your password secret, and tell us promptly if you think your account was accessed without permission. You are responsible for activity on your account.
- Guest accounts are temporary. A guest who never saves their progress with an email and password may lose it, and inactive guest accounts are deleted after about 30 days.
2. What Forge is, and what it is not
Forge provides short daily challenges, practice questions, explanations and friendly competition covering Scripture, money, history, business, science, geography, practical skills and critical thinking. Forge is written from a Christian worldview, and we aim to keep Scripture and its interpretation clearly separate from general facts.
Forge is educational and is not professional advice. Nothing in Forge is financial, investment, tax, legal, medical, first-aid, safety, engineering or religious counsel for your particular situation. Questions about money, taxes, first aid, home repair, survival and similar subjects are simplified general information. For important decisions, consult a qualified professional, and in an emergency contact emergency services. Never rely on Forge to perform electrical, plumbing, structural, medical or other work that could cause harm.
We work to make questions and explanations accurate, but we do not guarantee that content is complete, current or error-free. Facts, laws, rates and guidelines change. If you find a mistake, please tell us at gavinbebee@icloud.com.
3. Acceptable use
Do not: break the law or others’ rights; harass, threaten or impersonate anyone; choose a display name or photo that is offensive, hateful or misleading; attempt to access other members’ accounts or any non-public part of the service; probe, disrupt or overload Forge; cheat, automate answers, or manipulate scores, streaks or leaderboards; or copy, scrape or republish our question bank or other content at scale.
4. Your content and social features
You may add a display name and, optionally, a profile photo. You keep ownership of them and give us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and display them as part of the service. Only upload images you have the right to use. If you connect with friends, those friends can see your display name, photo, points and challenge scores; Forge does not publish a public, worldwide leaderboard. We may remove content or accounts that break these Terms.
5. Premium subscriptions
- Plans and price. Forge Premium is $3.99 per month or $24.99 per year (US dollars), plus any taxes that apply. The daily challenge and a limited amount of practice remain free.
- Automatic renewal. Premium renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. By subscribing you authorise us, through our payment processor Stripe, to charge your payment method each period.
- Cancelling. Cancel any time from Profile → Premium → Manage billing, or by emailing gavinbebee@icloud.com. Cancellation stops future renewals; you keep Premium until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before a price increase affects your subscription, and you may cancel before it takes effect.
- Failed payments. If a payment fails, Stripe may retry it. Premium access ends if payment cannot be collected.
- Refunds. See the Refund Policy.
- Changes to features. We may improve, add or change features. We will not remove paid features during a paid period without a fair remedy.
6. Our content and your licence
Forge’s questions, explanations, design, logo and software belong to Gavin Bebee or its licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Forge for your own learning. Scripture quotations are from the King James Version, which is in the public domain. Brand names and facts mentioned in questions belong to their respective owners.
7. Suspension and ending your account
You can stop using Forge at any time and can delete your account from Profile → Delete account (cancel any subscription first, or the deletion tool will cancel it for you). We may suspend or end accounts that break these Terms, put others at risk, or are used fraudulently. Sections that by their nature should survive (for example ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability and governing law) survive termination.
8. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent the law allows, Forge is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that Forge will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that it will make you more knowledgeable, successful or wealthy.
9. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Gavin Bebee and its owners, staff and providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of Forge or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to Forge is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and (b) US$50. Some places do not allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
10. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, please contact us at gavinbebee@icloud.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. Subject to any rights you have under mandatory local law, disputes will be brought in the courts located in that jurisdiction.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will notify you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Forge after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
