Trust, Safety & Legal

The rules that keep StoryForge safe for readers and sustainable for authors.

Terms of Service

1. The service

StoryForge (“we”, “us”) operates a serialized-fiction platform where readers discover stories and authors publish chapters, posts, and updates. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these terms.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend accounts that are fraudulent, abusive, or inactive in violation of these terms.

3. Reading, coins & subscriptions

Some chapters require Coins or an active subscription. Coins are virtual credits with no cash value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable except where required by law. Prices, coin packages, and subscription benefits may change with reasonable notice.

4. Publishing as an author

Authors must publish original work they own or are licensed to distribute, and follow our Content Guidelines and Legal Guidelines. You grant StoryForge a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, distribute, and promote your work on the platform for as long as it remains published.

5. Earnings & payouts

Eligible authors earn a share of qualifying revenue as shown in the Studio dashboard. Payouts require completed verification and a valid payout method, and may be held or reversed in cases of fraud, chargebacks, or policy violations.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to copy or scrape content at scale, circumvent access controls, interfere with the service, impersonate others, harass users, or post unlawful content. Automated access requires our prior written permission.

7. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Upon termination, your right to use the service ends; provisions on intellectual property, payments owed, and liability survive.

8. Disclaimers & liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, StoryForge is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform.
