Terms of Service

By accessing or using ModForge ("the Platform"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. We may update these terms at any time; we will post the updated version here and continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

ModForge is a marketplace with four parts: (a) digital products — Minecraft and Roblox plugins, scripts, models, maps, GUIs, configs and asset packs, sold individually or in seller bundles (two or more of a seller's own products at a discounted price); (b) game servers — established FiveM and Minecraft communities sold with an ownership transfer; (c) services ("gigs") — fixed-price work offered by approved sellers; and (d) a jobs board where clients hire developers. ModForge is a venue that connects buyers and sellers and holds funds in escrow where stated. Except where we act as the payment and escrow provider, we are not a party to the underlying agreement between a buyer and a seller. Developers may also submit games to the MyCCU × ModForge programme; submitting creates no agreement or obligation for either side, you must own or have the rights to what you submit, and any funding, promotion or revenue share is agreed separately in writing.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for the security of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You may not share accounts, impersonate others, or create accounts to evade a suspension. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Selling products, offering services, and applying for jobs all require an approved seller account. Approval is at our sole discretion and may be revoked. By listing anything, you confirm you own or are licensed to distribute it and that it infringes no third-party rights. You must not list: assets you do not own, leaked/stolen or repackaged work, malware or obfuscated malicious code, or anything unlawful.

Digital products, bundles, game server listings, job posts, services and paid promotions are reviewed by our team before they appear publicly, and edits to a live listing or bundle may be reviewed again before they go live. We may approve, reject, change the visibility of, or remove any listing at our discretion, with or without notice. Review is a basic quality and policy check — it is not a warranty that a listing is safe, functional, lawful, or accurately described.

ModForge deducts a platform fee from the sale price before payout: 10% on digital products (sellers receive 90%); 35% on game server sales (sellers receive 65%); and 10% on services and dev-for-hire contracts (developers receive 90%). Buyers pay a processing fee of 3% + $0.30 on top of the item price at checkout (after any coupon), shown as its own line before payment; it covers payment processing, goes to ModForge, and does not reduce the seller's share. Coupons apply to individual products, not to bundles. There are no listing fees or monthly charges — sellers only pay when they earn. Sellers may optionally buy featured placement (promoted listings); the price and duration are shown before you pay, the promotion goes live once approved, and a promotion we reject is refunded. We may change fees with 30 days' notice; the rate shown at the time of a sale is the rate applied to that sale.

Payments are processed by Stripe, PayPal and Coinbase Commerce. ModForge does not store card details. Earnings from each product sale are held for 9 days after the sale — just past the 7-day buyer refund window — before they become available to withdraw; proceeds from game server sales are held for 15 days while the ownership transfer completes. Sellers request payouts from their dashboard once their available balance reaches $10, to PayPal or, where offered, to a bank account connected through Stripe Connect (bank details are collected by Stripe; ModForge never sees them). A flat $0.25 fee is deducted from each payout. Payouts are processed after review and approval. You are responsible for the accuracy of your payout details. All amounts are in USD unless stated otherwise. You are solely responsible for your own taxes.

For gigs and job contracts, the client funds a milestone and ModForge holds those funds. The developer delivers, the client approves, and the funds (less the platform fee) are credited to the developer's payout balance. If the client does not respond within the auto-release window shown on the contract, the milestone releases automatically. Either party may raise a dispute while funds are held; ModForge will review and may release to the developer or refund the client. Contract chat opens only after a milestone is funded. You must not move a transaction off-platform to avoid fees or escrow — doing so voids all buyer and seller protection and may result in termination.

Unless a listing states otherwise, buying a digital product grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it on your own server or project. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense or publish the files, or share them outside your organisation. Some products are protected: Minecraft plugins may ship encrypted with a licence key that binds permanently to the first server that activates it, and Roblox systems may validate against a Place/Universe ID. These keys are single-use and cannot be moved or reset — running the product on a different server requires a new purchase. We may revoke a licence key for a refunded, charged-back or abusive purchase, which disables the product.

Paid files are served through short-lived, purchase-gated links, and downloads are logged (including IP address and browser) to detect sharing. Distributing purchased files, sharing accounts or licence keys, or circumventing protection may result in licence revocation, account termination and forfeiture of any balance, without refund.

Digital products are non-refundable by default because delivery is immediate and permanent. If a product is materially broken or significantly not as described, contact the seller first, then use “Request refund” in My Purchases within 7 days of purchase; after 7 days refunds are closed for that order. Every request is reviewed and refunds are issued at our discretion to the original payment method. The 3% + $0.30 processing fee is non-refundable except where required by law. For escrow contracts, refunds are handled through the dispute process in section 8. Buyer's remorse, incompatibility you could have checked before buying, and finding it cheaper elsewhere are not grounds for a refund. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

Reviews may only be left after a completed, paid transaction. You may not buy, sell, trade or incentivise reviews, review your own listings through another account, or use reviews to threaten or extort another user. We may remove reviews that break these rules.

You may not list, sell or distribute: cheats, exploits or tools designed to harm other players' experiences; content enabling fraud, harassment or illegal activity; cracked or pirated software; content that violates the terms of the game it targets; or anything we deem harmful. You also may not scrape the Platform, interfere with its operation, attempt to bypass access controls, or use it to launder money.

Sellers retain ownership of what they list and grant ModForge a non-exclusive licence to host, display and market it while it is listed. The ModForge name, branding and site content are ours. If you believe your rights are infringed, send a takedown notice to support@modforge.xyz with proof of ownership and the listing URL, as described in our DMCA & Takedown Policy; we will investigate, may remove the listing, and will terminate repeat infringers.

Everything listed on ModForge — files, code, scripts, models, assets and game servers — belongs to the seller who made it. ModForge does not use it for its own purposes: we don't run it on our own servers or projects, copy it into anything of ours, resell or give it away, or share it with anyone other than the buyers you sell to and the hosting providers that store files for us. We only handle your products as needed to run the marketplace for you: storing them and delivering them to buyers; applying encryption and licence protection where you choose it; running a protected product's server-side functions on your behalf when the product calls them; reviewing listings for safety and policy compliance, which can mean our staff open, download or test a file; and showing your listing's title, description and images to promote it, as described in section 14. If you delete a listing we stop selling it, but buyers keep access to what they bought, and we may keep records needed for refunds, disputes, fraud prevention or legal obligations.

We may suspend or terminate an account for any breach of these terms, fraud or chargeback abuse, repeated disputes, or where required by law. You may close your account at any time. On termination, live listings are removed; funds legitimately earned and not subject to a dispute remain payable, and funds tied to fraud may be withheld.

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that listings are accurate, functional, secure or fit for purpose, that protection systems cannot be circumvented, or that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. You use third-party content at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ModForge is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, lost profits, lost data, or damage to your server or community. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the fees you paid to ModForge in the 90 days before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

These terms are governed by applicable law. Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except where prohibited by law, and you waive participation in class actions. This does not affect mandatory consumer rights you have in your country of residence.

Approved creators get a creator code that buyers can enter at checkout. When a buyer uses your code, you earn a share of ModForge's platform fee on that order — it never comes out of the seller's earnings or the buyer's processing fee, and it is paid in cash only (no store credit). Commissions are held until the refund window and payout hold have passed, then become withdrawable through the normal payout flow and its fees. You must not: use your own code, or buy through it with accounts you control; pay, reward or pressure people to use it; promote it misleadingly (for example by implying it gives a discount it doesn't, or that you are ModForge or represent ModForge); spam it; or use names you don't have the rights to. ModForge may decline, change or revoke any code, hold commissions for review, and reverse commissions — including ones already paid, which are then deducted from your future earnings — for refunded or disputed orders or for any breach of these rules. Rates, tiers and program rules may change; changes apply to future orders.
