VibeForge — Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 August 2026 · Version 1

The short version. VibeForge is an audio visualizer. Use it for anything lawful. It does its work on your phone and never uploads your audio. Some parts are paid, once, through Google Play. You are responsible for the music you play through it and for anything you make with it. It is provided as-is, and nothing here takes away rights you have as a consumer.

1. Who these terms are between

These terms are an agreement between you and the developer of VibeForge ("we", "us"), contactable at vibeforgedeveloper@outlook.com. They cover the VibeForge Android app and anything in it.

Google Play has its own terms covering your relationship with Google and your purchases through the store. Those are separate from these, and nothing here changes them.

2. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms when you first open the app and tap to continue. If you do not accept them, do not use VibeForge.

If we change these terms in a way that materially affects you, the app will ask you to accept the new version. Minor corrections — typos, clarifications, contact details — will just appear here with a new date.

3. Your licence to use VibeForge

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use VibeForge on devices you own or control, for your own use. We keep ownership of the app itself.

You agree not to sell, rent or redistribute the app, reverse-engineer it except where the law expressly allows, remove or obscure any notices in it, or work around the paid tiers or any technical limits in it.

4. Acceptable use

Use VibeForge lawfully. In particular, do not use it to break the law, to infringe anyone else's rights, or in any way that interferes with the app or with other people's use of their devices.

5. Audio, music and copyright

VibeForge analyses audio playing on your device, or picked up by the microphone if you choose that, so it can react to it in real time. It does not record, copy, store or transmit that audio. Nothing you play through it is uploaded to us, because there is nowhere for it to go — we have no server that receives it.

You are responsible for the audio you choose to play, and for holding whatever rights or licences that requires. Playing music through VibeForge for your own enjoyment is ordinary personal use. Playing it in a public or commercial setting may need permission from whoever owns it — that is between you and them.

6. Things you create

Anything you create with VibeForge belongs to you. We claim no rights over it and, because nothing is uploaded, we never see it.

You are responsible for what you make and for what you do with it. If you publish or share something that includes music, images or other material owned by someone else, it is your responsibility to have the right to do that. Platforms you share to will have their own rules, and those apply to you, not to us.

7. Purchases

Some features are unlocked by a one-time purchase made through Google Play. Payment, receipts and refunds are handled by Google under Google's terms — we never see or store your payment details.

Purchases are tied to the Google account that made them and can be restored on a new device by signing in with that account. If a purchase does not unlock correctly, contact us and we will try to help, but refunds are issued by Google, not by us.

A subscription tier is planned for a future version. If and when it arrives, its own terms will be presented before you can subscribe.

8. Advertising

The free tier shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. Removing ads is one of the things a paid unlock does. Ad content comes from Google and its partners, not from us, and we do not control what any individual ad says or links to. How ads use device identifiers is covered in our Privacy Policy.

9. The AI features

VibeForge's AI runs entirely on your device. What you type or say to it does not leave your phone, and we cannot see it.

Like any AI, it can misunderstand you or get things wrong. It is there to change settings and visualizers for you, not to give advice of any kind, and you should not treat what it says as authoritative. Downloading the AI model is optional and uses a substantial amount of data — check your connection and storage first.

10. Availability and changes

We may update, change or remove features, and we may stop supporting older versions of Android or older devices. We will try not to remove things people rely on without good reason, but we cannot promise that any particular feature will exist forever.

We do not promise the app will be available without interruption or free of faults.

11. Photosensitivity and safe use

VibeForge produces bright, fast-moving and flashing visuals. A very small number of people may experience seizures when exposed to flashing lights or patterns, including people with no history of epilepsy. If you feel dizzy, disoriented or unwell while using it, stop and rest.

Please also use it sensibly — not while driving, and at a volume that will not damage your hearing.

12. No warranty

VibeForge is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties and make no promises that the app will meet your requirements, work uninterrupted, or be free of errors.

13. Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for VibeForge in the twelve months before the claim.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that cannot be signed away, including in the UK under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in these terms affects those rights. If anything here conflicts with them, your legal rights win.

14. Ending your use

You can stop using VibeForge at any time by uninstalling it. We may end your licence if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive — ownership, liability, governing law — continue to apply afterwards.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws where you live, and you may bring proceedings there.
