You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes the entity.
2. The Service
TopicForge provides software that helps users generate SEO-oriented articles and related assets through automated pipelines, including batch jobs, a customer dashboard, HTTP API, MCP integration, and free marketing tools. Features may change, be added, or be removed at any time. We may offer beta or experimental features without guarantees.
3. Accounts & security
- You are responsible for your account credentials, API keys, and all activity under your account.
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
- Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose security, legal, or operational risk.
4. Credits, billing & refunds
- Paid features are sold as prepaid article credits unless otherwise stated at checkout.
- Prices are shown before purchase and processed by Stripe. Taxes may apply. Promotional pricing or codes may change the amount charged.
- Credits are consumed when generation work is debited for your workspace. Failed batch items may receive automatic credit refunds when a job settles, as reflected in your billing history.

5. Free tools, samples & fair use
Free SEO tools, sample articles, and similar offerings are provided for evaluation and marketing. They may be rate-limited, require reCAPTCHA, and are subject to per-email, per-IP, and global usage caps. You may not attempt to bypass limits, scrape outputs at scale, or use free offerings to replace a paid account.

7. Your content
You retain ownership of content you submit (topics, brand guidance, workspace settings, uploads, and similar inputs). You grant TopicForge a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use your content solely to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit your content and that your content and use of the Service do not violate these Terms or applicable law.
8. AI-generated output
Output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your use case. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, fact-checking, and deciding whether to publish or rely on any output. TopicForge does not guarantee ranking outcomes, traffic, revenue, legal compliance, or factual accuracy.
You assume all risk from publishing or distributing output, including SEO, advertising, and regulatory consequences.
9. Our intellectual property
TopicForge and its licensors own the Service, including software, models, workflows, branding, documentation, and site content (excluding your content and output you lawfully obtain through the Service). No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.
You may reference TopicForge in accordance with our brand guidelines if we publish them; otherwise, do not imply endorsement or partnership without permission.
10. API, MCP & developer access
API keys and MCP integrations must be kept confidential. Usage is subject to documented limits, authentication requirements, and these Terms. We may throttle, suspend, or revoke access for abuse, non-payment, or operational reasons. Documentation may change; backward compatibility is not guaranteed.
11. Third-party services
The Service integrates with third parties (including Google/Firebase, Stripe, cloud providers, and AI infrastructure). Their terms and privacy policies apply to their services. TopicForge is not responsible for third-party products, outages, or acts.
12. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Provisions that by nature should survive (including payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations, indemnities, and dispute terms) will survive.
13. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOPICFORGE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that output will meet your requirements.
14. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOPICFORGE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR SEO RANKINGS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
