Last updated: 3/25/2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using CloudForge ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.

3. User Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password and for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree not to disclose your password to any third party and to take sole responsibility for activities under your account.

4. Subscription Plans

4.1 Plan Types

  • Free Plan: Limited features for evaluation purposes
  • Basic Plan: $20 NZD per month
  • Enterprise Plan: Custom pricing, access to all current and future features with priority support

4.2 Payment Terms

Basic Plan subscriptions are billed monthly in advance.

Enterprise Plan pricing and billing terms are determined on a case-by-case basis through direct consultation.

4.3 Refund & Service Remediation Policy

No automatic refunds. All purchases (Basic annual and Premium lifetime) are final. We do not provide routine refunds, partial credits, pro‑rata adjustments, charge reversals, or cooling‑off cancellations once payment is successfully processed.

Exception – Verified Service Failure. A discretionary remedy (extension or, in rare cases, partial refund) may be granted only if you demonstrate that CloudForge was materially unusable for its core advertised functionality (e.g. inability to: sign in, create / edit / save diagrams, or export infrastructure code) for a continuous period exceeding 48 hours, and the outage was caused by our platform rather than (a) your network, hardware, firewall, browser extensions, or corporate policies; (b) third‑party cloud provider outages; (c) scheduled maintenance (announced or emergency) or beta / experimental features clearly identified as such.

Required Evidence. To request remediation you must submit: (i) a support ticket before or during the incident window; (ii) timestamps, screenshots, error messages, or short screen capture demonstrating the issue; and (iii) a description of troubleshooting steps already attempted (different browser / machine / network, cache clear, etc.). We may request temporary diagnostic logs or limited replication access.

Primary Remedy – Access Extension. If confirmed, we will extend your paid access by: (a) the number of full or partial calendar days materially impacted, plus (b) an additional 25% goodwill buffer (rounded up to the next whole day). For Premium (lifetime) licenses, we apply a service credit note (recorded internally) that entitles you to future premium feature add‑ons or priority support time of equivalent fair value rather than a monetary refund.

Partial Refund (Rare). A monetary refund may be considered only if: (i) the verified continuous outage exceeded 14 consecutive days, or (ii) you purchased Premium lifetime within the prior 30 days and have not materially used the Service (fewer than 2 saved diagrams and no code exports). Determinations are solely at our discretion.

Submission Window. Remediation requests must be filed within 14 days of the incident’s resolution date. Requests filed later, incomplete, or lacking verifiable evidence will be declined without further review.

No Refund For: Feature roadmap changes; subjective dissatisfaction; performance variations within reasonable operational thresholds; learning curve; incompatibility with unsupported browsers/environments; external API rate limits; or downtime caused by upstream providers (e.g. OpenAI, cloud vendors) beyond our reasonable control.

Chargebacks. Initiating a payment dispute without first following this remediation process may result in immediate suspension of your account and revocation of any granted credits/extensions until resolved.
