Terms of Service

1. Company Information

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Z-Forge, a domain-adapted AI inference platform operated by [COMPANY_NAME] (the "Company"), registered in [COUNTRY] under registration number [COMPANY_REG_NO], with its registered address at [COMPANY_ADDRESS]. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Z-Forge provides a unified AI inference API that automatically routes requests to domain-adapted large language models optimized for game development. The Service includes:

• • API access via OpenAI-compatible endpoint and SDK
• • Automatic intent-based model routing
• • Engine-specific context injection (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
• • Shader-aware token optimization
• • Usage tracking and dashboard analytics
• • API key management and regeneration

The Service is provided on a monthly subscription basis with four tiers: Starter, Professional, Business, and Ultimate.

3. Subscription Plans and Billing

Your subscription plan determines your token quota, support level, and response tier:

Billing occurs monthly in advance via Stripe. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. Unused tokens do not roll over to the next billing period.

4. Refund Policy

We offer prorated refunds within 30 days of any subscription payment. The refund amount is calculated as:

Refund = Amount Paid ÷ 30 × Remaining Days

Example: if you paid $499.99 and request a refund after 10 days, you receive $333.33 (20 remaining days ÷ 30 × $499.99).

Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. API usage does not affect the refund calculation. To request a refund, email refund@z-forge.ai with your account email and subscription ID.

5. Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Upon cancellation, your API key is deactivated and no further charges occur. You retain access to the Service until the end of the paid period.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute API access to third parties without authorization
• • Use the Service to generate content that is illegal, malicious, or infringes on intellectual property rights
• • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, extract model weights, or identify the underlying models
• • Exceed your plan's token quota through automated abuse or rate-limit evasion
• • Share your API key with unauthorized users
• • Use the Service to train competing AI models without written consent

Violations may result in immediate API key deactivation and subscription termination without refund.

7. API Usage and Rate Limits

Each plan includes a monthly token quota as specified in Section 3. Requests that exceed your quota may be rejected or rate-limited. Rate limits are applied per API key to ensure fair usage across all subscribers. If you consistently exceed your plan limits, we will notify you and recommend a plan upgrade.

8. Intellectual Property

Your Content: You retain full ownership of all prompts, code, and content you submit to the Service. We do not claim any rights to your input or the model outputs you generate.
