Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By creating an account, browsing the Service, or purchasing or downloading any digital asset, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Cookie Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case “you” refers to that entity.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service and to make purchases. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete. We do not knowingly permit the use of the Service by anyone under the required age.

3. Description of the Service

Vaultforge is an online marketplace for digital game assets, including 2D sprites, 3D models, textures, skins, and related content. The Service allows you to preview assets, purchase a license, and download the corresponding files. Assets are delivered electronically; we do not ship physical goods.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service or any feature.

4. Accounts

Some features require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration;
• Keep your account information up to date;
• Notify us promptly of any unauthorized access or suspected security breach; and
• Accept responsibility for all orders and downloads made through your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

5. Orders, Pricing & Payment

All prices are listed in United States Dollars (USD) unless stated otherwise and are exclusive of applicable taxes. Depending on your location, sales tax, VAT, or other levies may be added at checkout and remitted to the relevant authorities. You are responsible for any such taxes.

Payments are processed securely by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. By submitting an order, you authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your selected payment method for the total amount of your order, including taxes and any applicable fees. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Your use of Stripe is also subject to Stripe’s own terms and privacy policy.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order, including where we suspect fraud, pricing errors, or a violation of these Terms. If we cancel an order after payment, we will issue a refund for the affected items in accordance with our Refund Policy.

6. Digital Goods & License Grant

When you purchase an asset, you are not buying ownership of the underlying intellectual property. Instead, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and use that asset in accordance with the specific license terms displayed on the asset’s product page. Unless the applicable asset license states otherwise:

• You may use purchased assets in personal and commercial projects;
• You may incorporate assets into games, applications, videos, and similar end products;
• You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or make the asset files themselves available as a standalone product or as part of an asset pack, marketplace, or competing library;
• You may not claim authorship of, or exclusive rights in, any asset you did not create.

Each asset may carry its own license (for example, CC0, royalty-free, or a creator-defined license). Where an asset’s license conflicts with these general terms, the asset-specific license controls for that asset.

7. Refunds

Because the Service delivers digital goods, refunds are limited. Our policies on cancellations, withdrawal rights, and eligibility for refunds are described in full in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

8. Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. Prohibited conduct includes fraud, chargeback abuse, intellectual property infringement, unauthorized resale or redistribution, scraping, distribution of malware, and any attempt to breach the security of the Service. Violations may result in suspension or termination of your account and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, software, and the “Vaultforge” name and marks, is owned by or licensed to Vaultforge and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license expressly granted in these Terms, nothing here transfers any right, title, or interest in the Service or its content to you.

Assets uploaded by creators remain the property of their respective rights holders. By making an asset available through the Service, a creator grants Vaultforge the rights necessary to host, display, market, and distribute that asset to buyers.

10. Third-Party Content & Services

The Service may include content provided by third-party creators and may link to or rely on third-party services (such as our payment processor and analytics providers). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content or services, and we make no warranties regarding them. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL ASSETS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any asset will meet your specific requirements.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VAULTFORGE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD 100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vaultforge and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third party’s rights.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. Upon termination, the licenses granted to you for previously purchased assets survive in accordance with their applicable license terms, except where the breach relates to those assets.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, USA, except where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
