Terms of Service

Prelaunch notice. These terms are a working prelaunch draft. Seller and licensor details, contact information, governing law, dispute venue, and the effective date are not final. Qualified legal review is required before public sales.

1. Scope and Acceptance

These draft terms apply to the Texel Forge website, downloads, desktop application, updates, and export licenses made available under the Texel Forge name. By accessing the prelaunch site or using a test build, you agree to follow these terms and any additional terms shown during download or checkout. If you do not agree, do not use the site or application.

2. Evaluation Mode

Evaluation Mode has no time limit and requires no payment method. It allows import, color baking, topology repair, model editing, image-to-model tools, and preview in the four public workspaces without activation. Exporting requires a paid license.

3. Export License Catalog

Hobbyist is priced at $30 USD as a one-time purchase. It provides a lifetime export license for personal, noncommercial work in all four workspaces on one activated device.

Commercial is priced at $120 USD per year as an annual subscription. Commercial Lifetime is priced at $400 USD as a one-time purchase for a lifetime license. Both permit personal and commercial work and unlock export in all four workspaces on up to two activated devices.

Business & Education packages are arranged through sales@texelforge.com, with pricing and device allowances defined in the agreed package. Public Windows updates are available through the in-app updater and the Downloads page; installing an update does not extend a license term or unlock export without an active license. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout. These draft terms still require legal review.

4. License Use and Restrictions

A paid plan grants the purchaser a limited right to use Texel Forge and its export capability within the plan's stated use and device limits. Unless the final terms expressly allow it, you may not resell or share a license key, make the application available as a competing hosted service, bypass the export license check, or use the application or website to violate law or another person's intellectual-property or privacy rights. Rights that cannot lawfully be restricted remain unaffected.

5. Your Models, Artwork, and Output

You remain responsible for the models, images, documents, decals, and other material you import, and for the output you create. You must have the rights and permissions needed to use, modify, print, distribute, or sell that material and output. Texel Forge does not claim ownership of your source files or generated project output merely because you process them in the application.

6. Purchases, Renewals, and Refunds

Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record for paid licenses and provides checkout, tax calculation, receipts, license-key delivery, order access, and subscription management. Checkout-specific payment, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms are presented during purchase. Keep your receipt and use Lemon Squeezy My Orders to retrieve your order, license key, and available downloads.

7. Activation and Device Management

Each activated device uses one plan slot. Texel Forge must retain the exact Lemon Squeezy activation instance to validate or deactivate that device. Deactivate a computer before retiring it or removing its local licensing data. If the saved instance is lost first, resolving the device activation may require assistance through Lemon Squeezy.

Paid licenses are normally revalidated while online. A temporary network problem may use the last valid entitlement for the application's permitted offline period, never beyond any applicable license expiration date. An expired, disabled, invalid, deactivated, or offline-expired license returns the application to Evaluation Mode and locks only export.

8. Downloads and Updates

Use an official Texel Forge Windows installer obtained through the Downloads page, choose the installer that matches your supported processor architecture, and retain the legal notices supplied with the application. Installed builds may check for updates and ask before downloading one. Back up important project files before installing or updating software.

9. Availability and Changes

The prelaunch website, store, downloads, and application may be changed, interrupted, or withdrawn while testing continues. Material changes to pricing, license rights, or these terms should be presented before they apply to a new purchase. The final terms must explain how changes affect existing purchasers and subscriptions.

10. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the prelaunch site and test software are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of uninterrupted operation, error-free output, fitness for a particular purpose, or compatibility with every model, printer, slicer, file, or workflow. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the seller and licensor will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from the prelaunch site, test software, or their use. The final terms must state any enforceable aggregate liability cap and any exceptions required by law.

12. Suspension and Termination

Access may be suspended or terminated for material misuse, unlawful activity, payment reversal, or violation of the final terms. Expiration or termination of a paid license does not prevent the application from opening in Evaluation Mode; it locks only export. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, and liability limits, may continue to apply.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

The governing law, dispute process, and venue have not been finalized. These details remain subject to qualified legal review before public sales.

14. Contact

Texel Forge is provided by Texel Forge LLC. Contact support@texelforge.com for product, license, or legal inquiries. Final legal details and the effective date remain subject to review.
