2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter, "T&C") govern the access, download and use of the ForgeTales desktop application (hereinafter, "the Application"), as well as the acquisition of paid unlimited lifetime access. The Application is developed and distributed by the owner identified in section 1 above.

These T&C constitute a legally binding agreement between the user and the owner. By downloading, installing or using the Application, the user declares to have read, understood and fully accepted these terms. If you do not agree with any of them, you must refrain from using the Application.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE AND ACCESS MODEL

3.1 Free Plan

The Application offers a free access plan with the following conditions:

  • The current free plan limits in ForgeTales are as follows:
    • 1 Project (campaign/world)
    • 15 Characters
    • 20 Plots Events
    • 20 Wiki Notes
    • 25 Moodboard Elements
  • Free access has no time limit, but is subject to functional restrictions as described in the official documentation of the Application.
  • The owner reserves the right to modify the limits of the free plan with at least 30 days' prior notice.

3.2 Unlimited Paid Access (Lifetime Licence)

The user may acquire a lifetime unlimited-access license, either through a single payment or through installment payments (in accordance with clause 4.3), with the following characteristics:

  • Payment grants the user the right to use the Application without functional usage restrictions for as long as the Application remains operational.
  • The licence is personal, non-transferable and non-sublicensable.
  • The lifetime licence may be active on up to two (2) devices at the same time. The user may deactivate it on one device in order to activate it on another. The licence is linked to the devices' identifiers through the activation process.
  • The owner guarantees maintenance of the Application, including bug fixes and basic compatibility with major operating systems during the lifetime of the Application. The owner reserves the right to permanently discontinue the Application at any time, with no prior notification.
  • The lifetime license covers unlimited access to the features available in the Application at the time of purchase, as well as their updates and improvements under clause 10. The owner may develop and offer new, optional modules, expansions, or complementary services (for example, writing modules or features based on external services) which, due to their distinct nature, may be marketed separately and are not necessarily included in the lifetime license. In any case, such modules shall always be optional and shall not affect the use of the features already included.

The price of lifetime unlimited access is 79.99 EUR (VAT not included) under the single-payment option. It may also be paid in installments according to the plans described in clause 4.3. The price will be clearly displayed before completing the payment process. The owner reserves the right to modify the price at any time.

4. PAYMENT PROCESS AND RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

4.1 Payment Process

Payment will be processed through Stripe, a secure third-party platform. The owner does not store credit or debit card data. Once payment is completed, the user will receive a confirmation email along with activation instructions.

The owner will issue the corresponding invoice in compliance with applicable Spanish tax regulations. If the user requires an invoice in a company's name, this must be communicated expressly before or immediately after payment by contacting [email protected].

4.2 Right of Withdrawal

In accordance with Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 of 16 November (TRLGDCU) and EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, the consumer user has the right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 calendar days from the date of purchase, without providing any reason.

However, in accordance with Article 103(m) of the TRLGDCU, the right of withdrawal shall not apply where the user has expressly requested that the execution of the digital content begin before the withdrawal period expires and has acknowledged that, once execution has begun, the right of withdrawal is lost. In such cases, the user will be clearly informed during the payment process and must explicitly confirm this.

To exercise the right of withdrawal (where applicable), the user may contact [email protected] providing their name, order details and an explicit withdrawal request. Refunds will be processed within a maximum of 14 days using the same payment method.

4.3 Installment payment

As an alternative to the single payment, the user may pay for the unlimited-access license in monthly installments, according to the following plans:

  • 3 monthly installments of 28 EUR (84 EUR in total).
  • 6 monthly installments of 15 EUR (90 EUR in total).
  • 12 monthly installments of 8 EUR (96 EUR in total).

From the first payment, the user will receive full access to the paid-plan features (unlimited access) for as long as the installments remain up to date.

The user may cancel or pause the installment payments at any time. In that case, unlimited access will be suspended and the limits of the free plan (clause 3.1) will apply again until the user resumes and completes the payment. Content created by the user will be preserved, although access to content exceeding the free-plan limits may be restricted while the license is not active.

Amounts already paid will not be refunded upon cancellation or pause; instead, they will be retained as credit in favor of the user, with no expiration date for as long as the Application remains operational. The user may resume payment of the outstanding installments at any time in order to complete the acquisition of the license.

The lifetime unlimited-access license becomes definitively consolidated once the corresponding total amount has been paid in full. From that moment, the provisions of clause 3.2 shall apply and access will no longer be affected by the payment process.

Installment payments are also processed through Stripe (clause 4.1). Since access to the paid features begins from the first payment, the provisions of clause 4.2 regarding the right of withdrawal and the execution of digital content shall apply.

If the user wishes to change their installment plan (for example, modifying the number of installments) or to settle the outstanding installments early, they must request it by contacting us at [email protected].

Acquiring a use licence — whether free or paid — does not imply any transfer of intellectual property rights to the user. The user acquires only a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right of use.

8. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

The desktop Application itself does not use cookies. However, the service's landing page does use first-party and third-party cookies. The following details their use in compliance with Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

8.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on the user's device when visiting a website. They allow the site to remember information about the visit — such as preferred language and other settings — in order to make the next visit easier and the site more useful.

8.2 Types of cookies we use

Our landing page uses exclusively analytical cookies:

Technical / strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the correct functioning of the website. They enable the user to navigate the site and use its basic features. They do not require prior user consent.

Analytical cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC (based in the United States, operating under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework), to collect anonymous and aggregated information about how users interact with our landing page. Data collected includes, among others: pages visited, time spent, traffic source, device type and approximate geographic location.

These cookies do not identify the user personally. The information generated is transmitted to and stored on Google servers. For more information on Google Analytics' privacy policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy

8.3 Consent and cookie management

When first visiting our landing page, the user will see a cookie banner allowing them to accept or reject analytical cookies. Technical cookies do not require consent and are activated automatically.

The user may withdraw their consent at any time and delete already-installed cookies through the following means:

  • Browser settings: most browsers allow cookies to be managed, blocked or deleted through their privacy settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
  • Google Analytics opt-out plugin: the user may install the opt-out add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to prevent Google Analytics from collecting their data.
  • Cookie preference panel on our landing page, accessible via the 'Manage cookies' link in the footer.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal, nor the use of the desktop Application.

8.4 International data transfers

Google Analytics may involve transfers of data to Google LLC servers located in the United States. Such transfers are carried out under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, adopted by the European Commission through its Adequacy Decision of 10 July 2023, which ensures a level of protection equivalent to that of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

9. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Application is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the owner declares that:

  • It does not guarantee that the Application will be free of errors or interruptions, or that it will be compatible with all operating systems or hardware configurations.
  • It will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the Application.
  • It will not be liable for the loss of user data resulting from improper use of the Application or hardware failure on the user's part.

In any case, the owner's maximum liability to the user shall not exceed the amount paid by the user in the preceding 12 months, or the price of the lifetime licence acquired.

Nothing in this section limits the rights that consumer protection legislation irrevocably grants to the user.

10. UPDATES OF THE SERVICE

The owner may release updates to the Application to improve its performance, fix bugs or adapt it to regulatory or technological changes. Updates will be provided at no additional cost to users with a lifetime licence during the guaranteed period set out in clause 3.2.

11. AMENDMENTS TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The owner reserves the right to amend these T&C at any time for valid reasons such as legal, regulatory, tax or technical adjustments, or clarifications that do not adversely affect the user's essential rights. Such amendments will be notified to users at least 15 days in advance via email or a prominent notice within the Application. Continued use of the Application after the new T&C come into force will constitute acceptance of the amended terms.

Where an amendment substantially and adversely affects the rights of existing lifetime licence holders, it will not apply to them without their express consent. If the user does not agree with the amendments, they may terminate the agreement by notifying the owner before the effective date; lifetime licence holders who exercise this right will be entitled to reasonable compensation proportional to the estimated remaining period of use.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ODR PLATFORM

In the event of a dispute arising from these T&C, the user and the owner agree to attempt to resolve it amicably. If that is not possible, the consumer user may resort to:

  • Consumer arbitration boards or other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) bodies recognised in Spain.
  • The European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform, accessible at: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

The owner's contact email for complaints is: [email protected].

Without prejudice to the above, for matters not amenable to out-of-court resolution, these T&C are governed by Spanish law, and jurisdiction lies with the courts of the consumer user's place of residence, in accordance with the TRLGDCU, or the courts of the owner's domicile, at the user's choice.

13. GOVERNING LAW

These T&C are governed and interpreted in accordance with Spanish law, without prejudice to conflict-of-law rules and the irrevocable rights granted to consumers by the legislation of their country of residence within the European Union.

Applicable regulatory framework:

  • Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — GDPR
