ForgeVZ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Collective Minds Gaming Co. Ltd., CronusMax, Cronus Zen, or any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors. Cronus Zen® is a registered trademark of Collective Minds. All other trademarks are property of their respective owners.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, registering for, subscribing to, or using ForgeVZ (the "Service"), including the website, web application, Chrome packaged application, helper bridge, documentation, and related services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be notified via email or in-app notice at least 14 days prior to effectiveness.

2. Description of Service

ForgeVZ provides a browser-based virtual emulation environment that allows users to load, view, and test GPC (GamePack) script files in a simulated environment. The Service includes:

A client-side script parser and virtual machine that executes entirely in the user's browser
A visual representation of a generic input device with OLED simulation for testing purposes
Optional local bridge software that may facilitate communication with user-owned hardware on the user's local network

The Service does not include, distribute, or provide any hardware, firmware, or proprietary software of any third party. The Service does not modify, circumvent, or interfere with any third-party hardware or service.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years of age to subscribe. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us of any unauthorized use.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Access Control

4.1 Subscription Model

Access to the Service is offered on a subscription basis at $35 per month or as otherwise displayed at checkout. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis.

4.2 Gating and License Tokens

The Service is gated at the server level. Download links, application access, and certain features require an active subscription. Upon subscription activation, we may issue a time-limited, non-transferable license token (appended as a URL fragment) that is stored locally in your browser. This token does not constitute DRM and does not phone home; it is used solely to display subscription status in the client. Enforcement occurs server-side.

4.3 Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store full payment card numbers. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until cancellation.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel at any time via your account portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds for unused time except as required by law or as set forth in our Refund Policy.

5. Acceptable Use and User Responsibilities — No Liability for Bans

You agree not to:

Use the Service to violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party terms of service, including but not limited to platform terms for gaming consoles or online services;
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service except as permitted by law for interoperability;
Upload malicious code, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems;
Use the Service to create, distribute, or facilitate cheating, harassment, or unfair advantage in any online multiplayer environment where such use is prohibited;
Represent that ForgeVZ is affiliated with or endorsed by any hardware manufacturer.

You are solely responsible for how you use scripts tested in ForgeVZ and for compliance with all applicable terms of service of any game, platform, or hardware you own.

PLATFORM BAN DISCLAIMER — USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: ForgeVZ is a standalone emulation and testing environment. We do not control, and have no affiliation with, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft, Activision, Bungie, Epic Games, or any game publisher or platform operator. Many online games and platforms prohibit the use of macros, mods, or automated input. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF ANY SCRIPT — WHETHER TESTED IN FORGEVZ OR INJECTED VIA HELPER — MAY RESULT IN SUSPENSION, TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT BANNING OF YOUR GAME ACCOUNT, CONSOLE, OR ONLINE SERVICE. FORGEVZ IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY BAN, SUSPENSION, LOSS OF ACCOUNT, LOSS OF VIRTUAL ITEMS, LOSS OF RANK, OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENCE IMPOSED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM OR GAME PUBLISHER. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK. We provide ForgeVZ for educational, interoperability, and offline testing purposes. We do not encourage violation of any third-party terms. It is your sole responsibility to review and comply with the Terms of Service and End User License Agreements of any game or platform you use.

5.1 No Guarantee Against Detection

We make no representation or warranty that scripts tested or used with ForgeVZ are undetectable, compliant with any game’s anti-cheat system, or safe for online use. Anti-cheat systems evolve. A script that is undetected today may be detected tomorrow. We are not at fault for any banning, suspension, or other enforcement action.

5.2 Educational Purpose

ForgeVZ is provided as a development tool to understand GPC logic, test input mappings, and learn controller emulation concepts. Any decision to use a script in an online environment is made solely by you, at your own risk, and in violation of these Terms if such use breaches a third-party’s terms.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our IP

The Service, including its code, design, logo (bolt mark), and documentation, is owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The bolt logo and "ForgeVZ" mark are our trademarks. No license is granted except to use the Service as permitted herein.

6.2 User Content

You retain ownership of GPC scripts you load into the Service. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process such scripts solely to provide the Service. Scripts are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) unless you explicitly export them; we do not claim ownership.

6.3 Third-Party Trademarks

All third-party trademarks, including Cronus Zen®, PlayStation®, DualSense®, are property of their respective owners. Use is nominative fair use for compatibility description only.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE.

8. Limitation of Liability — Including Bans

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL FORGEVZ, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GAME ACCOUNTS, VIRTUAL CURRENCY, VIRTUAL ITEMS, RANK, OR ACCESS TO ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, FORGEVZ SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY BAN, SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, OR OTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTION TAKEN AGAINST YOU BY SONY, MICROSOFT, ACTIVISION, OR ANY OTHER PLATFORM OR PUBLISHER, WHETHER RESULTING FROM USE OF SCRIPTS TESTED IN FORGEVZ, THE HELPER, OR OTHERWISE. YOU AGREE THAT SUCH ACTIONS ARE OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL AND YOU WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST US RELATING THERETO. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ForgeVZ from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your scripts, or your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or third-party terms.

10. DMCA and IP Complaints

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in fraud, or if required by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Delaware, or, at our option, in the courts of Delaware, with you consenting to personal jurisdiction therein. You waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.

13. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement.
