Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-04-24 Last updated: 2026-04-24 Publisher: ForgeRift LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company ("ForgeRift", "we", "us", or "our"). Contact: support@forgerift.io

Reading note. These Terms govern use of the ForgeRift plugins (local-terminal-mcp, vps-control-mcp) and the forgerift.io website. The underlying source code is separately licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL 1.1) in each repository. Schedule A (the End User License Agreement) covers how you may use the plugin software. Schedule B sets product-specific terms.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any ForgeRift plugin, any software distributed by ForgeRift, or the forgerift.io website (together, the "Services"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"), Schedule A (EULA), Schedule B (Product Terms), and the ForgeRift Privacy Policy, each as amended from time to time. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" means both you and that organization.

2. Definitions

"Plugin" means a Claude Code or Claude Desktop plugin distributed by ForgeRift, including local-terminal-mcp and vps-control-mcp, any successor versions, and any related documentation.
"Marketplace" means the Anthropic Software Directory or any other third-party plugin distribution surface from which the Plugins may be obtained.
"Your Systems" means the computers, virtual machines, servers, and networks on which you install or point the Plugins, and any accounts, credentials, or data stored on them.
"Consumer" means a natural person acting outside of a trade, business, craft, or profession, where that status gives rise to mandatory rights under applicable law (e.g., EU Directive 2011/83/EU).
"Documentation" means the README, CHANGELOG, SECURITY, and TROUBLESHOOTING files published in each Plugin's repository and the content on forgerift.io.
"Subscription" means a paid recurring billing arrangement (Individual or Bundle) governed by Section 6.
"Gated Operation" means an operation that the Plugin will not execute until the user has reviewed a plain-language description of the specific action, its target, and its potential consequences, and provided explicit per-invocation confirmation. A prior confirmation for the same operation type does not carry forward to subsequent invocations.

3. Eligibility

Age requirement. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use the Services only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are aware that a child under 13 has created an account, please notify us at support@forgerift.io and we will delete the account.

Jurisdiction. You must not be a national or resident of a country subject to comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, Donetsk People's Republic, or Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine), and you must not be listed on any U.S. Government restricted-party list (including the OFAC SDN List, the BIS Entity List, or the State Department Debarment List). See also Section 18 (Export Controls).

4. The Services

4.1 Description. ForgeRift distributes Plugins that extend Claude (a product of Anthropic PBC) with structured tools for operating local workstations and remote Linux servers. ForgeRift LLC is an independent third-party developer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic PBC. The Plugins run on Your Systems or on infrastructure you control. ForgeRift does not host your Plugin instances, does not hold your credentials, and does not have network access to Your Systems. Always install Plugins directly from official ForgeRift repositories at github.com/forgerift or through the official Anthropic Marketplace listing. Verify release integrity using checksums published in each GitHub release.

4.2 Service Level. The Services are provided on a best-effort basis. ForgeRift makes no uptime guarantee during the launch period. We target high availability but do not commit to any specific service level, uptime percentage, or response time. Your sole remedy for service unavailability is to stop using the Services. Any future paid-tier SLA, if offered, will be published in a separate Service Level Agreement document at that time.

4.3 Changes. We may add, modify, remove, or version Plugins. We will publish changes in each Plugin's CHANGELOG and will give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce functionality. For paid subscribers, we will give at least thirty (30) days' advance notice before removing material features.

5. Account and Credentials

5.1 Account responsibility. Some Services require an account tied to a verifiable email address. You are responsible for all activity under your account, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for notifying us promptly at support@forgerift.io if you suspect unauthorized use.

5.2 Data Processing Agreement. If you are a business customer established in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom and require a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in connection with ForgeRift's processing of your account and billing data as part of the Subscription service, you may request one by emailing support@forgerift.io. We will provide a DPA within a reasonable time. The DPA governs ForgeRift's role as a processor of your account and billing data to the extent applicable.

6. Fees, Subscriptions, and Billing

6.1 Trial Period

ForgeRift does not offer a permanent free tier. All paid Subscriptions include a 14-day free trial as described in Section 6.3. No credit card or payment method is required until the trial period has concluded and you elect to continue.

6.2 Paid Subscription Tiers

ForgeRift offers the following paid Subscription plans:

Plan	Monthly	Annual	Savings
Individual (single plugin)	$14.99 / month	$149.00 / year	~17%
Bundle (both plugins)	$19.99 / month	$199.00 / year	~17%

Prices are in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes (see Section 6.7).

6.3 Free Trial

New paid Subscribers receive a 14-day free trial beginning on the date of Subscription activation. A valid payment method is required at sign-up, but you will not be charged during the trial period. If you cancel before the trial ends, you will not be charged. If you do not cancel, your Subscription converts to a paid plan at the end of the trial and your payment method is charged at the applicable rate.

6.4 Auto-Renewal; Cancellation; Downgrade

AUTO-RENEWAL NOTICE (REQUIRED DISCLOSURE -- EU CONSUMER DIRECTIVE 2019/2161): Your Subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price for your plan unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will receive a renewal reminder by email at least 14 days before any annual renewal charges, and at least 7 days before any monthly renewal charges. To prevent renewal, you must cancel at least 24 hours before your current billing period ends.

Cancellation timing. You may cancel your Subscription at any time through your account settings or by emailing support@forgerift.io. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period -- you retain access to paid features through the period you have already paid for. You will not be charged for subsequent periods.

Downgrade timing. If you downgrade from Bundle to Individual, the downgrade takes effect at the start of your next billing period. You retain access to your current plan's features through the end of the billing period in which you request the downgrade.

6.5 Refunds

General. Except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable. This includes fees paid for any portion of a billing period you do not use.

Annual subscriptions. Annual Subscriptions that are cancelled mid-term are not prorated. You will retain access through the end of the annual period you have paid for, but no partial refund will be issued for the unused months.

Trial period. If you cancel during the 14-day free trial, you owe nothing. No refunds are issued after the trial period ends.

Consumer statutory rights. If you are a Consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from a digital content subscription. However, by commencing use of the Services during the withdrawal period, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencing use. This consent is additionally confirmed at the point of purchase through the checkout process. This paragraph does not limit other mandatory statutory refund rights you may have under applicable law.

Exceptions. ForgeRift may issue refunds at its sole discretion in cases of billing error or extraordinary circumstances. To request consideration, contact support@forgerift.io with subject "Refund Request."

6.6 Chargebacks and Fraudulent Disputes

If you initiate a chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal through your bank or card issuer without first contacting ForgeRift at support@forgerift.io and giving us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue (at minimum 5 business days), your account will be permanently suspended upon notice of the chargeback or dispute. You agree not to initiate a chargeback without first contacting us, and if you do, ForgeRift may recover documented direct costs incurred as a direct result of the unjustified dispute. This Section 6.6 does not limit your right to dispute a genuinely fraudulent charge that you did not authorize, and does not affect any rights Consumers have under applicable law to seek remedies through their card issuer or bank.

6.7 Taxes

Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, VAT, GST, digital services tax, or similar tax properly assessed on the Services, except for taxes on ForgeRift's net income. If ForgeRift is required to collect tax on your behalf, it will be added to your invoice.

6.8 Founder Cohort

Founder Cohort pricing is available to the first 100 paid Subscribers OR for 3 months following ForgeRift's approval by the Anthropic Marketplace, whichever milestone occurs first. Founder Cohort rates are: Individual plan at $9.99/month; Bundle plan at $14.99/month. Founder Cohort Members who maintain an active paid Subscription at the end of the Founder Cohort window lock in their Founder Cohort rate for as long as the Subscription remains continuously active. Founder Cohort pricing is not transferable, does not apply to plan upgrades, and lapses if the Subscription is cancelled and then reactivated (unless ForgeRift specifies otherwise in writing). Founder Cohort status is administered on an honor-system basis.

6.9 Honor-System Entitlement

Subscription tier access is currently managed on a trust basis. Access to paid features relies on your good-faith use within your Subscription plan. Misrepresenting your Subscription tier to access features beyond your plan constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

6.10 Grace Period

If your payment method fails, ForgeRift will retry the charge and send payment failure notices. You will have a 7-day grace period during which paid features remain active. If payment is not collected within the grace period, your Subscription will be suspended. Support will be limited to billing remediation during the grace period.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use the Services in violation of law, Anthropic's Usage Policy, or the terms of any Marketplace from which you obtained the Plugin.
Use the Services to attack, compromise, monitor, or disrupt any system or network you are not authorized to operate, to conduct port scanning or vulnerability probing of networks you do not own, to participate in distributed denial-of-service attacks, or to exfiltrate data you are not authorized to access.
Attempt to defeat, bypass, or disable the Plugins' security classifications (for example, the RED/AMBER/GREEN authorization model), sensitive-file guards, rate limits, or audit logging.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Services except to the extent applicable law expressly permits.
Use the Services to infringe any person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights.
Use the Services to generate, distribute, or facilitate malware, ransomware, spyware, credential stuffing, illegal surveillance, or content that is unlawful under applicable law.
Use the Services for cryptocurrency mining on any system without the explicit written consent of the system owner.
Deploy AI techniques designed to subliminally manipulate users' behavior without their awareness, to exploit psychological vulnerabilities, or to employ deceptive or coercive persuasion techniques that circumvent rational agency.
Use the Services for biometric categorization of individuals based on sensitive characteristics (including race, political opinions, religion, health status, or sexual orientation), for social scoring systems that rate individuals' trustworthiness or social behavior, or for inferring emotions in workplace or educational settings, where prohibited by applicable law including the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689).
Remove or alter attribution, copyright notices, or license text in the Plugin source.
Resell the Services or redistribute them to third parties for commercial gain, without a separate written agreement with ForgeRift. Use of the Services within your own organization for internal commercial projects is permitted.

Security researchers who discover potential vulnerabilities in the Services are encouraged to report them through the channels described in each Plugin's SECURITY.md file. ForgeRift will not pursue legal claims under these Terms against researchers who report issues in good faith through those channels, without causing undue harm, and without publicly disclosing before ForgeRift has had a reasonable opportunity to remediate.

8. Your Responsibilities for Your Systems

You acknowledge:

The Plugins execute commands against Your Systems. You are responsible for the state, contents, and continued operation of Your Systems, including backups, access controls, patching, and monitoring.
The Plugins are a layered defense, not an absolute guarantee. Security classifications, allowlists, rate limits, and audit logging reduce the blast radius of AI-driven tool calls; they cannot eliminate all risk.
Command authorization operates on two levels: (a) Explicit authorization -- commands you approve directly through the Plugin interface (e.g., run_approved_command, AMBER-tier re-invocations, deploy jobs). You bear full responsibility for explicitly authorized commands and their consequences. (b) Autonomous execution within configured scope -- commands the AI selects and executes within the permission tier you have configured. You bear responsibility for your scope and permission configuration choices; ForgeRift bears responsibility that the Plugin's classification system performed as documented. Operations in the Hard-Blocked categories defined below cannot be executed under either authorization path.
You must monitor and supervise all AI-assisted operations at all times. Do not leave the Services running unattended while connected to production systems, credential stores, or any system where unintended commands would be unacceptable. ForgeRift is not liable for any damage resulting from unattended or unsupervised use of the Services.
You will review the behavioral transparency documentation published with each Plugin before relying on the Services for sensitive operations.

Hard-Blocked Operations. The following categories of operations are technically blocked by the Plugins and cannot be executed through automated means under any circumstances -- not by Claude's autonomous judgment, not by any user approval through the Plugin interface, and not by any Subscription tier or configuration option. When a request falls into one of these categories, the Plugin returns a non-bypassable error message identifying the blocked category, explaining why automation is disallowed, and providing the recommended manual steps for the user to execute outside the Plugin.

Category	Representative examples (not exhaustive)
Recursive or bulk file deletion	rm -rf, find ... -delete, shred, wipe, bulk unlink operations
Destructive git history rewrite	git push --force, git push -f, any push operation that rewrites remote branch history
Database destruction	DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE, DELETE without a WHERE clause scoped to a specific subset of rows
Disk-level write operations	mkfs, fdisk, dd with zero- or random-source input, disk format or repartition commands
System power-state operations	shutdown, reboot, poweroff, halt, init 0, systemctl poweroff/halt/reboot
Credential and key material destruction	Deletion or bulk overwrite of .ssh/, .aws/, .gcloud/, .azure/ credential directories, private key files, or certificate stores
OS-level permission destruction	chmod -R 000 on non-ephemeral paths, chown -R on root or home directories, deletion of active system user accounts

This list represents the minimum hard-block set. ForgeRift may extend the list in future Plugin releases; additions will be documented in each Plugin's CHANGELOG. This technical block cannot be waived, configured away, or overridden by any means -- including Subscription tier, configuration files, or command-line flags.

WARNING -- SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONS: The Services can execute commands with significant or lasting effects, including deploying code to production servers and modifying system configurations. You are solely responsible for maintaining current backups of Your Systems and for verifying commands before authorization. Do not use the Services on systems where unintended production changes would be unacceptable unless independent backup and recovery procedures are in place. Operations with the highest irreversibility risk -- including recursive file deletion, force-push, and database destruction -- are hard-blocked at the Plugin level and cannot be initiated through the Services under any circumstances (see Hard-Blocked Operations above).

Gated Operations. Certain operations that are reversible in principle but carry elevated risk -- including production deployments and system configuration changes -- require explicit per-invocation user confirmation before the Plugin will execute them. When the Plugin identifies a Gated Operation, it presents a plain-language description of the action, its target, and the potential consequences, and requires the user to affirmatively confirm before proceeding. By confirming a Gated Operation, you represent that you understand the action, have reviewed the target and consequences, and accept full responsibility for the outcome. A confirmation that was induced by misleading AI output does not transfer responsibility from you to ForgeRift -- you retain responsibility for reviewing the described action before confirming.

9. Third-Party Services

The Services interoperate with third-party platforms including Anthropic (Claude), GitHub (source hosting), payment processors (Stripe), email providers (Resend), and Let's Encrypt / sslip.io (TLS issuance for vps-control-mcp). ForgeRift is not responsible for third-party services, outages, or changes in their terms. Your use of a third-party platform is governed by that platform's terms.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1 ForgeRift IP. ForgeRift retains all right, title, and interest in the Services, except for rights expressly granted to you in these Terms and Schedule A. The ForgeRift name, the forgerift.io domain, and our logos are our trademarks; no license to our trademarks is granted by these Terms.

10.2 Source license. The Plugin source code is distributed under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL 1.1) (see each repository's LICENSE file). The BUSL governs your rights in the source code. Schedule A governs your use of pre-built Plugin binaries, installers, updates, documentation, and ForgeRift-provided services associated with the Plugins.

10.3 Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to use it without restriction. We welcome it.

11. Disclaimers

11.1 As is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

11.2 No warranty of fit for sensitive operations. The Plugins operate by directing Claude, an AI system, to execute commands on Your Systems. AI systems follow instructions probabilistically -- Claude may not always follow the Plugin's behavioral safety instructions, may issue commands outside the intended scope, or may be induced by unexpected inputs to behave outside its configured parameters. The Plugin's RED/AMBER/GREEN classification system reduces but does not eliminate this risk. ForgeRift does not warrant that Claude will always follow the Plugin's behavioral instructions, that the Plugin will prevent every unsafe command, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. You acknowledge this disclosure and the behavioral transparency documentation published with each Plugin. Operations in the Hard-Blocked categories defined in Section 8 are technically impossible through the Plugin regardless of AI instruction, user configuration, or Subscription tier -- the Plugin returns a non-bypassable error and directs you to execute those actions manually outside the Plugin.

11.3 Consumers. If you are a Consumer and applicable law grants you statutory warranties or remedies that cannot be disclaimed, the disclaimers in this Section 11 apply only to the maximum extent permitted. Nothing in these Terms limits a Consumer's mandatory statutory rights.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1 Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ForgeRift's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, under any theory, will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid ForgeRift for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the first event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).

12.2 Excluded damages. ForgeRift will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

12.3 Infrastructure costs. ForgeRift is not liable for VPS hosting fees, cloud computing costs, bandwidth charges, storage fees, or any other third-party infrastructure expenses you incur through your use of the Services, regardless of whether those costs result from commands executed by the AI within your configured parameters or from commands you explicitly authorized.

12.4 Consumers. Nothing in this Section 12 limits liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by ForgeRift's negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (c) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ForgeRift, its members, employees, and contractors from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of law or third-party rights, or (c) your use of the Services in or against any system you were not authorized to operate. This Section 13 does not apply to Consumers to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

14. Term and Termination

14.1 Term. These Terms apply from the first time you use the Services and continue until terminated.

14.2 Termination for convenience. You may stop using the Services at any time. You may uninstall the Plugins per the uninstall.ps1 / uninstall.sh scripts in each repository. ForgeRift may terminate your access to any non-free Service for convenience with thirty (30) days' notice. If ForgeRift terminates a paid Subscription for its own convenience, we will refund the prorated unused portion of any prepaid annual fees for the remaining period after the termination date. Upon any Subscription cancellation or termination, ForgeRift will deactivate all OAuth client registrations associated with your account within 24 hours; you remain responsible for revoking bearer tokens and removing sslip.io DNS entries per the uninstall guide.

14.3 Termination for cause. Either party may terminate these Terms immediately if the other party materially breaches them and fails to cure within thirty (30) days of written notice. ForgeRift may suspend or terminate your access immediately if your use threatens the security or integrity of the Services or violates Section 7. Except in cases of active and ongoing security threat or AUP violation, ForgeRift will provide at least 24 hours' written notice before suspending a paid account and will work in good faith to resolve the underlying issue. Chargeback fraud under Section 6.6 constitutes grounds for immediate permanent suspension without cure period. ForgeRift reserves the right to preserve and disclose account information to law enforcement authorities where required by law or in response to valid legal process, and will cooperate with investigations into criminal misuse of the Services.

14.4 Effect of termination. Sections 6 (outstanding payment obligations and accrued refund rights), 10 (IP), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 16 (Governing Law), 17 (Disputes), and 19 (Miscellaneous) survive termination. The BUSL license in each repository continues to govern the source code you obtained before termination.

15. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will publish the updated Terms at forgerift.io/terms and revise the "Last updated" date. For material changes -- including changes to pricing, supported platforms, feature availability, or acceptable use restrictions -- we will give reasonable advance notice through the Services or by email. Your continued use of the Services after an update takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept, stop using the Services.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If you are a Consumer ordinarily resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.

17. Disputes

17.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration or filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@forgerift.io and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way. The 30-day period begins when you send written notice of your claim to support@forgerift.io.

17.2 Binding individual arbitration. If informal resolution under Section 17.1 does not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, either party may initiate binding arbitration. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services -- except those that qualify under Section 17.4 (Small Claims) -- shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator shall apply Wisconsin substantive law and shall have authority to grant any relief that a court could grant. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The party initiating arbitration pays the AAA filing fee; all other arbitration costs are allocated per AAA rules.

17.3 Class action waiver. All disputes must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis only. Neither party may bring or participate in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action or proceeding before any arbitrator or court. The arbitrator has no authority to consolidate claims or to conduct class or representative proceedings. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable with respect to any particular dispute, that dispute shall proceed in court under Section 17.6 rather than in arbitration.

17.4 Small claims. Either party may bring qualifying claims in small-claims court in the jurisdiction where the claimant resides, without first going through informal resolution or arbitration.

17.5 Limitations period. Any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, regardless of any statute of limitations to the contrary. Claims not filed within this period are permanently barred.

17.6 Courts (fallback). If Section 17.2 is found invalid, inapplicable, or unenforceable in a particular dispute, or for any dispute excluded from arbitration, that dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

17.7 Consumer carve-out. Sections 17.2 (arbitration) and 17.3 (class action waiver) do not apply to a Consumer exercising mandatory rights that cannot be waived under applicable law. EU Consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. If you are a Consumer ordinarily resident in the EU or the United Kingdom, these provisions do not deprive you of the right to bring or defend proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where required by applicable law.

18. Export Controls and Sanctions

The Services are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

You represent and warrant that:

You are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country or territory subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo as determined by OFAC from time to time (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk People's Republic, and Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine);
You are not named on, and are not owned or controlled by any entity named on, any U.S. Government restricted-party list, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals List, the BIS Entity List, the BIS Denied Persons List, or the U.S. State Department Debarment List;
You will not use the Services, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable export control law, regulation, or license restriction; and
You will not export, re-export, or transfer the Services or any direct product thereof to any prohibited destination, person, or entity without obtaining any required authorization from the applicable U.S. government agency.

ForgeRift reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate Services to any user or jurisdiction where required by applicable law or regulation.

19. Miscellaneous

19.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, Schedule A, Schedule B, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and ForgeRift concerning the Services and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.

19.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent.

19.3 No waiver. A failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

19.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. ForgeRift may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets.

19.5 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, labor disturbance, internet or utility outages, and governmental action.

19.6 Relationship of the parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.

19.7 Notices. Notices to ForgeRift go to support@forgerift.io. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your account, posted on forgerift.io, or delivered in-product.

19.8 Headings. Section headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.

19.9 Electronic communications (E-SIGN Act). By using the Services, you consent to receive from ForgeRift all communications required by law in electronic form, including these Terms, the Privacy Policy, purchase receipts, renewal notices, and other required disclosures. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any requirement that such communications be "in writing." You may request a paper copy of any electronic communication by emailing support@forgerift.io; ForgeRift may charge a reasonable administrative fee for paper delivery. You may withdraw this consent at any time, but doing so may limit ForgeRift's ability to provide certain Services.

Schedule A -- End User License Agreement (EULA)

This EULA governs your use of the Plugins as distributed by ForgeRift. It is incorporated into the Terms by reference.

A.1 License grant

Subject to these Terms, ForgeRift grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install, run, and use each Plugin on systems you own or control, solely for your own internal purposes (personal or business). The Plugin source code is separately licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL 1.1) as set forth in each repository's LICENSE file.

A.2 Permissions and Restrictions

You may fork the Plugin repositories, publish modified versions under a different name, and use them for personal or internal organizational purposes in accordance with the BUSL 1.1 license terms in each repository.

You will not:

Use the Plugin to provide a commercial managed service to third parties (e.g., running the Plugin as part of a hosted service you resell) without a separate written agreement with ForgeRift. This does not restrict use within a single organization, including its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Modify or remove security classifications (RED/AMBER/GREEN), allowlists, sensitive-file guards, rate limits, audit logging, or behavioral directives, and then redistribute the modified Plugin under the ForgeRift name or trademarks.
Represent a modified fork as an official ForgeRift Plugin.

A.3 Updates

ForgeRift may issue updates, patches, and new versions. You are encouraged to run current versions. ForgeRift treats security vulnerabilities as high priority; critical vulnerabilities will be patched and announced via SECURITY.md and notified to subscribers by email as promptly as practicable. ForgeRift targets patch release within 72 hours for vulnerabilities scoring CVSS 9.0 or above, and within 30 days for vulnerabilities scoring CVSS 7.0--8.9, subject to third-party dependencies and factors outside ForgeRift's reasonable control. You are responsible for updating to patched versions promptly upon notification. ForgeRift is not obligated to maintain backwards compatibility for experimental features documented as such in the CHANGELOG at the time of that version's release.

A.4 Reservation of rights

All rights not expressly granted are reserved to ForgeRift.

A.5 Source code

The Plugin source code is licensed separately under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL 1.1). Nothing in this EULA restricts your rights under the BUSL with respect to source code you obtain from the public repository.

A.6 Regulated industries

The Plugins are not designed, certified, or intended to comply with industry-specific regulatory requirements, including but not limited to HIPAA (healthcare), FISMA (federal information systems), GLBA (financial services), PCI-DSS (payment card data), or FERPA (education records). You are solely responsible for determining whether the Plugins are appropriate for use in any regulated environment and for ensuring your own compliance with applicable regulations.

A.7 Third-party platform dependency

The Plugins depend on third-party platforms outside ForgeRift's control, including the Claude AI platform (Anthropic PBC), the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, and the Anthropic Marketplace.

Schedule B -- Product-Specific Terms

B.1 local-terminal-mcp

Runs on your local Windows 10/11 workstation. Accesses your local filesystem, git repositories, npm projects, and system information within a policy-restricted classification model. macOS and Linux are not currently supported.
You acknowledge the sensitive-file guards (.ssh, .aws, .gcloud, .azure, credential stores, key material) and agree not to disable them.
Command execution is subject to the dry-run-first policy documented in README.md.
Audit logs are stored locally. ForgeRift does not receive telemetry from local-terminal-mcp.

B.2 vps-control-mcp

Runs on a Linux VPS you already operate. ForgeRift does not host your VPS and does not have network access to it.
You are responsible for providing OAuth 2.0 client credentials or a bearer token at setup time, for managing TLS (the bundled setup.sh wires Let's Encrypt via sslip.io on your behalf, but you retain control of the certificate), for the allowlist of PM2 processes and readable file paths, and for the integrity of the VPS itself.
The deploy pipeline is a Gated Operation. Each invocation presents a plain-language summary of the target repository, branch, and PM2 process before execution, and requires your explicit confirmation. You retain full responsibility for any deployment you confirm.
Audit logs are stored on your VPS. ForgeRift does not receive telemetry from vps-control-mcp.
