Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: 06.10.2026
1. Agreement to Terms
1.1 Acceptance
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Iron Cortex LTD (Company Number 16889774), a company registered in the United Kingdom with registered office at Academy House 11 Dunraven Place, Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, CF31 1JF, United Kingdom ("DevForge," "we," "us," or "our") for your use of our AI-assisted software development and expert review service (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms.
1.2 Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts.
We do not accept new sign-ups from Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria or Cuba: at sign-up we check the country of your IP address and the domain of your email address, and we do not accept payments with a billing address there or pay out to banks there. Existing customers keep access to their account and balance.
You may use the Service for yourself or for a studio, company or other organisation. When you use it for an organisation, that organisation is the customer under these Terms and is responsible for the account and everything bought through it, and you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf. Rights that the law gives only to consumers, such as the statutory right to withdraw from an online purchase, apply to an individual buying for personal use and not to an organisation buying for its business. Everything our policies promise, including the refund of unused credits, applies to every customer alike.
1.3 Other Documents
These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Payment Policy, Refund Policy and Cancellation Policy. Experts also accept the Expert Terms and Conditions shown during expert onboarding.
2. Service Description
2.1 Core Services
DevForge provides:
- Project builds: a developer from our expert network builds and reviews your project from your brief, using AI-assisted code generation
- Specialist requests: extra review or work on a project by an expert, quoted before you confirm it
- Support: help by email from a person
2.2 Expert Network
Projects are delivered by independent professionals ("Experts", also called Executors). Before they take paid work, a person checks their application and identity, and they accept confidentiality and quality obligations in the Expert Terms and Conditions.
2.3 Service Levels
We do not guarantee a delivery time. After you submit a project, your developer agrees a timeline with you by email. There are no paid priority, rush or urgency options: every project is priced by its brief alone, whichever credit bundle you bought. Support is by email for every customer.
2.4 Service Availability
We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
3. User Accounts and Responsibilities
3.1 Account Creation
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account.
3.2 User Obligations
You agree to:
- Provide clear and complete project requirements
- Respond to your developer's questions about your project
- Use the Service only for lawful purposes
- Not attempt to reverse-engineer our systems
3.3 Prohibited Uses
You may not use our Service to:
- Create malware, viruses, or malicious code
- Violate any laws or regulations
- Infringe on intellectual property rights
- Engage in unauthorized access or hacking activities
- Create code for illegal gambling, adult content, or hate speech platforms
- Develop surveillance or tracking software without proper consent
- Build weapons systems or military applications
- Circumvent security measures or digital rights management
4. Intellectual Property Rights
4.1 Ownership of Your Code
Once the credits for a project have been charged, all intellectual property rights in the code made for that project belong to you. This includes source code, documentation and configuration created for your project.
4.2 DevForge Intellectual Property
We keep all rights to our platform, tools and any pre-existing materials. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to them beyond the code made for your project.
4.3 License to Use Service
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our Service in accordance with these Terms. This license ends if you materially breach these Terms.
4.4 Feedback
We may use feedback or suggestions you send us about the Service without compensation or attribution.
5. Payment Terms and Credits System
5.1 Credit Purchases
The Service runs on credits. Credits are bought in advance. At the Starter rate 5 credits cost €1 (500 credits for €100); larger bundles and larger custom amounts lower the price per credit. Credits are non-transferable between accounts. Available packages:
- Starter Bundle: 500 credits for €10000
- Growth Bundle: 2,750 credits for €49900 (9% lower price per credit than the Starter Bundle)
- Professional Bundle: 11,500 credits for €1,99900 (13% lower price per credit than the Starter Bundle)
- Custom amount: any sum from €100 to €20,00000, or the equivalent in the currency you selected, charged exactly as entered and priced on the same scale as the bundles
5.2 Credit Usage
A project is priced from its brief: 100 credits for a simple project, 150 for a medium one and 250 for a complex one, plus 20 credits per feature and 10 per technology. The quote is shown before anything is charged, and you need at least 140 credits in your balance to start a project. Credits are taken from your balance when you submit a project or confirm a specialist request, never before. A specialist request is quoted separately before you confirm it. Changes after delivery are a new brief, quoted in credits before anything is charged.
5.3 Payment Methods
We accept Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards. You enter your card details in our checkout; they are passed straight to our payment processor and we do not store them. We keep only the payment status, amount, currency and the processor's payment reference.
5.4 Currency
You pay in the currency you select (euros, US dollars or another currency offered in the currency selector). Prices are set in euros and converted at live exchange rates refreshed once every 24 hours (if the rate service is unavailable, the last rates we received stay in use). The same rates set both the price shown and the amount charged.
5.5 Refunds
Unused credits are refundable if you ask within 14 days of buying them. Credits already spent on a project are not refundable. Credits never expire, so unspent credits stay in your balance after the 14 days. Approved refunds go back to the card you paid with; how long your bank takes to show them depends on the bank. This is the only refund rule; our Refund Policy states it in full.
5.6 Price Charged
The amount shown on the Pay button at checkout is the total amount charged. Nothing is added to it.
6. Quality Standards and Warranties
6.1 Quality Standards
Our developers work to deliver code that:
- Meets the specifications in your requirements
- Follows common coding practices
- Includes reasonable error handling
If you are unhappy with delivered code, write to support@devforge.pro with specific examples; where our work has a defect, we fix it.
6.2 Disclaimer of Warranties
Except as expressly provided in these Terms, and except for rights that cannot be excluded by law (including a consumer's statutory rights), the Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose.
7. Confidentiality and Data Protection
7.1 Confidential Information
We keep your project requirements and code confidential and use them only to provide the Service.
7.2 Experts
Experts accept confidentiality obligations in the Expert Terms and Conditions before they see any project: they may not share, copy or keep client materials after a project.
7.3 Personal Data
How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Limitation of Liability
8.1 Cap on Liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the project or credits giving rise to the claim, or €5,00000, whichever is less.
8.2 Exclusion of Damages
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, revenue or data.
8.3 What We Do Not Limit
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects a consumer's statutory rights.
9. Indemnification
9.1 User Indemnification
If you use the Service for an organisation's business, you agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your breach of these Terms or your infringement of third-party rights.
9.2 IP Indemnification
We will defend you against claims that code we delivered infringes third-party intellectual property rights, provided you notify us promptly and cooperate fully.
10. Termination
10.1 Termination by You
You may delete your account at any time from Dashboard → Settings, or by writing to support@devforge.pro. Unused credits bought in the last 14 days can be refunded under our Refund Policy.
10.2 Termination by DevForge
We may suspend or close your account for violations of these Terms, fraudulent activity or chargebacks. We will give notice except where immediate action is needed. Unused credits bought in the last 14 days stay refundable, except credits paid with a payment that was charged back or fraudulent.
10.3 Effect of Termination
On termination your right to use the Service ends. Provisions that by their nature survive termination (including intellectual property, limitation of liability and disputes) remain in effect.
11. Disputes and Governing Law
Please write to support@devforge.pro first; most issues can be solved that way. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes are decided by the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim in its courts.
12. General Provisions
12.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, with the documents listed in section 1.3, are the entire agreement between you and DevForge regarding the Service.
12.2 Severability
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
12.3 Assignment
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor operating the Service, without reducing your rights.
12.4 Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delays or failures due to circumstances beyond reasonable control.
12.5 Notices
Legal notices must be sent to support@devforge.pro or to our registered address. We may send notices to your account email address.
13. Modifications to Terms
We may change these Terms. Material changes will be announced by email or on the Service at least 30 days before they take effect. The date at the top of this page shows when the Terms last changed.
