Terms of Service

GABFORGE UNLIMITED. Hosted at gabforge.ai/legal/terms.


1. At a glance

Question Answer
Who can use this? Anyone 18 or older in a country where we operate.
Do I own what I create? Yes. Your chats, personas, documents, and subsite content are yours. We get only the licence we need to operate the service.
Can I trust the AI's answers? No, not blindly. GF Everyday and any BYOK model can be wrong. For medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions, consult a qualified human.
What happens if I break the rules? Warning → temporary suspension → termination. Severe violations (CSAM, threats of violence) are immediate termination + reporting to authorities.
Can I cancel? Any time. Settings → Account. No lock-in.
What if you change the terms? Material changes (including changes to the §6.1 Free Covenant) get 30 days' notice by email. You can cancel or stop using the Service before they take effect.
What if you sell the company or one part of it? We can assign these Terms to a successor (whole company, individual unit, or asset sale) with 30 days' notice. The successor decides whether to keep the Free Covenant — they aren't bound to. You'll have the notice window to export your data. See §19.
What if you shut something down? We can discontinue the Service or any unit (.ai, .in, .live, .org) at our discretion. Planned wind-down: 30 days' notice + data export window + pro-rata refund of paid-tier fees. Free-tier users get the notice window but no refund. See §12.4.

2. Who we are

All GabForge domains are operated by a single company, GABFORGE UNLIMITED (MSME Registration: UDYAM-TS-02-0101763), located at 142, Spanzilla, Gulam Ali Guda, Parvathapur Road, Medipally, Hyderabad 500098. The same company stands behind every GabForge product:

Site What it covers
gabforge.ai, gabforge.live, gabforge.in The GabForge Everyday app and subsite hosting
gabforge.org Open-source projects and the community forum (these Terms + the OSS addendum in §18)
gabforge.com The company site (investor / press / careers)

One account, one agreement. You use every GabForge product with a single GabForge account and sign in with GabForge OAuth — the "sign in with GabForge" button, just like signing in with Google. By creating that account or using the service, you accept these Terms with GABFORGE UNLIMITED. The same Terms apply across all GabForge products (with the product-specific sections below applying where relevant).


3. Eligibility


4. Your account


5. What the service does

GabForge Everyday provides:

Features evolve. We may add, remove, or change features with reasonable notice; we will not remove features that paying users specifically paid for without a refund or replacement (see §12.3, §12.4). Free-tier features are governed by §6.1 (Free Covenant) and may be modified, restricted, or discontinued under the conditions set out in that section together with §15 (Changes) and §19 (Assignment).


6. Pricing, payment, and BYOK

6.1 Free tier — the "Free stays Free" covenant

Scope. The Free tier is available with the quotas published at AI_Billing_Model §Free tier (currently ~30 GF Everyday messages per day plus unlimited plugin calls).

Our covenant. For as long as the Service is operated by GABFORGE UNLIMITED (the entity defined in §1), we commit to the Free stays Free covenant on the Free tier:

Boundaries of this covenant. The Free Covenant is a present-tense commitment by GABFORGE UNLIMITED, not a perpetual licence and not a guarantee of indefinite continuance. Specifically:

See Free_vs_Premium_Philosophy for the strategic context, but in case of any conflict between that document and this section, this section governs.

6.2 Pro tier

6.3 Family Caregiver

6.4 Booster Packs

6.5 BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

6.6 Taxes

6.7 Failed payments


7. Your content and licence

7.1 You own your content

Everything you put into the service — prompts, files, personas, custom instructions, subsite content, plugin configurations — remains yours. No transfer of ownership to us.

7.2 Licence to us (limited, for operating the service)

To run the service on your behalf, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit, and display your content only:

This licence ends when you delete the content, or when your account is deleted — whichever is earlier.

7.3 What we will NOT do with your content

7.4 AI-generated output

Outputs from AI models (GF Everyday or BYOK) are generated in response to your prompts. To the extent we hold any rights in that output, we assign them to you (subject to third-party rights — e.g., the BYOK provider's own terms may differ, and no one can own a copyright over something that is not copyrightable).

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of AI output complies with applicable law and third-party rights (e.g., not passing off someone else's copyrighted text as your own prompt input).


8. AI output — important disclaimer

AI systems, including GF Everyday and every BYOK-supported model, can produce incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information. They can and do "hallucinate" facts.

You must not rely on AI output for:

The service is a productivity tool, not a replacement for professional judgment. We provide the service "as is" and disclaim warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law (see §14).


9. Acceptable use

You may not use the service — and you may not use AI output generated via the service — to:

See also the Subsite Guardrails (§10) for content hosted on gabforge.live.

Violations are investigated by our Trust & Safety team. Consequences range from content removal to immediate account termination and referral to authorities.


10. Subsites on gabforge.live

Pro subscribers can publish subsites on gabforge.live. Additional rules apply:


11. Third-party services, BYOK, and plugins


12. Suspension and termination

12.1 By you

12.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate an account for:

Non-emergency terminations come with advance written notice and an opportunity to export your data. Emergency terminations (CSAM, imminent-harm content, active abuse) are immediate and do not include a cure period.

12.3 Refunds on termination

12.4 Wind-down — discontinuation of the Service

We may discontinue the Service, or any individual product line (gabforge.ai, gabforge.in, gabforge.live, gabforge.org), in whole or in part, at our sole discretion. A wind-down may be voluntary (commercial decision, end-of-life) or involuntary (regulatory order, force majeure, insolvency).

For a planned (voluntary) wind-down, we will:

For an involuntary wind-down (regulatory order, force majeure, insolvency, infrastructure-provider termination), notice and export windows may be shortened or, in extreme cases, omitted to the extent permitted by law. We will use reasonable efforts to preserve user data export for at least 7 days where the cause permits.

Partial wind-down. A wind-down of one product line (e.g., closing gabforge.live while keeping gabforge.ai running) triggers the obligations in this section only with respect to the discontinued unit. The remaining units continue under these Terms unchanged.

Release on wind-down. Upon the wind-down effective date, our obligations under these Terms with respect to the discontinued Service or product line terminate, except for liabilities accrued before that date and any statutory obligations that survive termination by law (e.g., data-deletion obligations under Privacy Policy §8, Indian DPDPA / EU GDPR rights).

No Free-tier remedy. Free-tier users have no claim, refund, credit, replacement service, migration right, or other remedy arising from a wind-down (voluntary or involuntary, full or partial). This is a material term of the Free tier; by using the Free tier the user accepts that the Free Covenant in §6.1 is contingent on continued operation by GABFORGE UNLIMITED and lapses on wind-down.


13. Intellectual property


14. Warranties, disclaimers, and liability

14.1 Warranty disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OF AI OUTPUT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers — those disclaimers do not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and your statutory consumer rights (India Consumer Protection Act 2019; EU consumer directives; UK Consumer Rights Act) are not limited by this section.

14.2 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or your use of the service is limited to the greater of:

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Statutory consumer rights are not limited by this section. Nothing in this section excludes our liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence.

14.3 Indemnity (your side)

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from:

This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from our own breach or wilful misconduct.


15. Changes to these Terms


16. Governing law, jurisdiction, disputes

gabforge.ai / gabforge.live / gabforge.in — the app: Governed by the laws of India. Disputes: exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Hyderabad, Telangana, except where a user is a "consumer" under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and may sue in their local district consumer forum. Small-claims-equivalent forums respected.

gabforge.org — open source: Governed by the laws of India (same). OSS contributor agreements are governed by the individual contribution's declared licence.

gabforge.com — company site: Governed by the laws of India. Commercial disputes may be arbitrated under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, seat Hyderabad, if both parties are commercial entities (not consumers).

International users: we comply with applicable local consumer-protection rules regardless of governing law. EU users may invoke the ODR platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr) for online-sales disputes.

EU / UK consumer carve-out. For consumers residing in the European Union or the United Kingdom, any mandatory class-action waiver or mandatory consumer-arbitration clause contained in these Terms is void and unenforceable. EU consumers retain the right to collective redress under the Representative Actions Directive (EU 2020/1828). UK consumers retain the right to bring proceedings in their local courts under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer rights in the user's country of residence.

India consumer carve-out. Consumer disputes (as defined under the Consumer Protection Act 2019) are non-arbitrable in India under settled case law. Indian consumers may pursue claims in the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in their jurisdiction notwithstanding anything else in this section.


17. India-specific provisions (for gabforge.in and Indian users of .ai / .live)

17.1 Intermediary due diligence (IT Rules 2021 §3(1))

We comply with the due-diligence obligations for intermediaries under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021:

17.2 Grievance redressal

17.3 Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a "consumer" under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, including the right to approach the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your jurisdiction.
