Disclaimer

THIS LEGAL DISCLAIMER ("Disclaimer") IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU ("User") AND AimForge LTD ("Company"), THE DEVELOPER OF AimForge ("Product"). BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PRODUCT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS DISCLAIMER, INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS MADE HEREAFTER.

No Affiliation or Endorsement

AimForge is not, and shall not be construed as being, affiliated, associated, endorsed by, authorized by, or in any way officially connected with any game publisher or trademark owner. All trademarks, logos, and copyrights referenced herein remain the property of their respective owners.

Third-Party Peripherals and Restrictions

Certain game publishers may impose restrictions on the use of third-party peripherals. You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable Terms of Use or policies imposed by game publishers. Violations may result in penalties, including account suspension or termination.

Terms and Conditions

1. Prohibition Against Reverse Engineering and Unauthorized Use

AimForge products must not be used to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from any hardware or games owned by game publishers.

AimForge must not be used to manipulate or modify any copyrighted or intellectual property owned by third-party software or game publishers.

2. Anti-Cheating Clause

The Product is not intended to provide unfair advantage or cheating in online multiplayer or competitive environments. Any use of the Product for cheating or abuse of fair play policies allows the Company to restrict or disable access.

3. User Acknowledgment of Risks and Limitations

• Use of the Product may void warranties.
• Use of the Product may result in bans or punitive actions by game publishers.
• Additional hardware (SD card, Titan Two, capture card) may be required; compatibility is the user's responsibility.
• Users must comply with all applicable laws.

Liability is set out in section 10.

4. Termination of Access

The Company may terminate, restrict, or suspend access to the Product if misuse, unfair advantage, tampering or a breach of these Terms is detected. If you think we got this wrong, contact us and a person will review it.

5. Acceptance of Terms

Using the Product constitutes acceptance of all Terms and Conditions. No external statements modify this Agreement. Our Privacy Policy below explains how we handle personal data; it is information for you and is not a contract term you have to agree to.

6. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes go to the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection of mandatory laws of the country where you live, or your right to bring a claim in your local courts where those laws give you one.

7. Severability

Invalid or unenforceable provisions do not affect the rest of the Agreement.

8. Amendments

The Company may modify these Terms. We will update the date at the top of this page, and tell you through the app, the website or by email before a significant change affects you. Continued use after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Product and cancel any subscription.

9. Prohibited Conduct and Liquidated Damages

You are prohibited from bypassing, reverse engineering, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to any non-public portion of the software, API, or systems. This includes extracting scripts, models or other protected content from the Product, from its files or from its memory while it runs, except where the law gives you a right to do so that cannot be excluded.

A breach triggers liquidated damages of £1,500, representing a reasonable pre-estimate of the Company's costs. Actual damages may be pursued if higher.

10. Liability and Your Statutory Rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to exclude. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights, including those under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, are not affected by these Terms or by our Refund Policy.

Subject to that, the Product is provided as is, and we are not liable for account bans or penalties imposed by game publishers, loss of data, loss of profits or business, or indirect loss. For business users, our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Eligibility and Your Account

You must be at least 18 to create an account or use the Product. You are responsible for your account and must not share it. Accounts and licences are personal to you.

12. Your Content

You keep ownership of scripts, models, pipelines, presets, pictures and other content you upload. You give us the licence we need to store, process and show it as the feature you used requires, including to other users when you publish it or sell it. You must have the rights to whatever you upload. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law. Sellers are responsible for what they sell, and buyers' names and email addresses are shared with the seller of what they buy.

Privacy Policy

This explains what AimForge's website and desktop app collect, why, and who receives it. Please read section 3 before installing the app: it describes what the app reads from your PC.

1. Who We Are

AimForge LTD ("AimForge", "we"), of Southgate Business Centre, 32 Gillygate, Pontefract WF8 1PQ, is the data controller for the data described here. The best way to reach us about anything in this policy is by email at support@aimforge.co.uk, or through our Discord server. Post sent to the address above may take longer to reach us.

2. Your Account, Purchases and Website Use

• Account: your name, email address, password (stored hashed), profile picture, plan and subscription status, Discord ID if you link it, and referral details.
• Purchases: billing name and address, your IP address at purchase and payment records. Card details go directly to our payment providers; we keep only limited card information, such as the brand, last four digits and a fingerprint used to prevent fraud.
• Sign-in and activity logs: IP address, browser or app details, hardware identifiers, app version, and what was accessed, such as model downloads.
• What you choose to give us: uploads, reviews, votes, support messages, cancellation feedback and service booking answers.

3. What the Desktop App Reads From Your PC

The app shows you a short summary and asks you to agree before it does any of this. If you decline, it closes without sending anything. We record your agreement against your account when you sign in. You can change your mind at any time by uninstalling the app.

Every time the app starts, after you have agreed and before you sign in, it runs a ban check and sends us a hardware identifier and your disk serial numbers.

When you sign in and while you stay signed in, the app sends your email and password (to sign you in), identifiers generated from your PC's hardware and Windows installation, the app's version and a check that the app is unmodified. It checks your session with our servers regularly while it runs.

Security reports. We send one when the app detects signs that it, or content in it, may be being tampered with or extracted. Examples are a debugger attached to it, a program reading its memory, modified app files, a virtual machine, a redirected connection to our servers, inconsistent licence information, or a protected model used without access. It can also happen when certain debugging or reverse-engineering tools are running on your PC or their name appears in a window title, even if they are not being used on AimForge. A report can contain:

• Who and what: your public IP address (found using the ipify service), your name, email address and account ID, your Windows username and computer name, and whether a paid script was loaded.
• Hardware: hardware and device identifiers, serial numbers of your motherboard, disks and memory, your CPU ID and model, GPU, memory size and Windows version.
• The program involved: when the report is about a program reading AimForge's memory, that program's name, file path, publisher, version and a fingerprint of its file, how it was started, and whether it has a visible window. We do not take screenshots of your screen or of any window.
• Details of the event: your local time, and what was detected, such as the program's name and path, the word that matched in a window title (not the full title), or the model's file name and fingerprint.

Some of these events make the app close. Others are only reported and the app keeps running. We do not collect a list of the other programs running on your PC. Moderators are alerted in a private Discord channel with your name, email, account ID and IP address.

Error reports contain your account details, the app version, the error and diagnostic log lines. They help us fix problems.

Feature and hardware checks: the app also tells us when a Pro feature runs. When you activate a supported Makcu board it sends the board's ID and firmware version, which we keep with your account. When you load a model file it checks the file for an ownership mark, and contacts us only if it finds one.

What stays on your PC: your capture preview, recordings, clips, edits, datasets, training runs and settings are not sent to us unless you choose to upload something. Your AimForge login, and any Xbox or PlayStation login you use for Remote Play, are stored encrypted on your PC. Remote Play sign-in goes directly to Microsoft or Sony. The Creative tab uses your own Claude Code installation and Anthropic account, and what you send through it is handled by Anthropic under their terms.

The app installs a background Windows service, the AimForge Guardian, which watches for programs reading AimForge's memory and can close AimForge when it finds one. It runs with system privileges while you use the app.

4. Why We Use This Data and Our Legal Basis

• To provide what you asked for (your account, purchases, downloads, support): necessary for our contract with you.
• To protect the Product, our content and other users' content (ban checks, licence enforcement, security reports, preventing fraud and account sharing): our legitimate interests. These interests are protecting our software and paid content from extraction and misuse, and we limit what we collect to what supports that.
• To fix problems and improve the Product (error reports): our legitimate interests.
• To meet legal duties and handle disputes (tax and accounting records, chargebacks, legal claims): legal obligation and our legitimate interests. In a chargeback we may send the payment provider your name, email, purchase IP address and account activity, including IP addresses and hardware identifiers.

You can object to any use based on legitimate interests by contacting us. If you do not want the app to read the information in section 3, do not install or run it, and uninstall it if you already have.

5. Who Receives Your Data

• Payments: Stripe and PayPal. Stripe may also receive your email and card fingerprint for its block lists after a dispute.
• Hosting, storage and delivery: DigitalOcean and Amazon Web Services.
• Email: our email delivery provider.
• Discord: account linking, roles, direct messages and moderator alerts.
• hCaptcha: bot protection on the website.
• ipify: finds your public IP address for security reports.
• OpenAI: automatic checks of marketplace listing text, staff reviews of security reports (without your name, email, IP address, or hardware or Windows identifiers; the result is a suggestion and a person makes any decision), and our Discord bots, including messages you send to the support bot and level-up messages using your display name and level. The support bot's knowledge base uses a separately hosted search database.
• TikTok: clips you post in our Discord channel for this purpose can be published on our TikTok account after we approve them.
• Website content providers: jsDelivr, unpkg, cdnjs and Google Fonts, which receive your IP address when your browser loads files from them.
• Sellers: a seller sees the name and email address of people who buy from them.
• Authorities and advisers: where the law requires it, or to establish or defend legal claims.

We do not sell your personal data.

6. International Transfers

Some of these providers process data outside the UK and EEA, including in the United States. Where the law requires it, we rely on adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses, and you can ask us for details.

7. How Long We Keep Data

• Account data: while your account is open, then as long as we need it for the reasons in section 4.
• Payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires, normally six years.
• Security reports, ban records and sign-in logs: as long as we need them to investigate, enforce bans and protect the Product, and we delete them when they are no longer needed for that.
• Public content: until you or we remove it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask for a copy of your data, and ask us to correct or delete it, restrict how we use it, or transfer it. You can also object to how we use it. Contact us and we will respond within one month. We may keep data the law requires us to keep, or that we need for legal claims. We may need to confirm your identity first.

The app may close automatically when it detects tampering. You can ask for a person to review any decision that affects your account, and give your point of view.

You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your local data protection authority. We would appreciate the chance to sort it out first.

9. Cookies

The website uses a session cookie, a security token cookie, a remember-me token if you stay signed in, a cookie remembering your selected product for 30 days, and browser storage for a few settings. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Stripe, PayPal and hCaptcha load their own scripts, which may set their own cookies under their policies.

10. Children

AimForge is for people aged 18 and over. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

We will update this policy when what we collect changes, and change the date at the top of this page. We will tell you about significant changes through the app, the website or by email.
