Terms of Use

The service
Your use of the tool
- You may use MetalForge to generate shaders for personal or commercial projects.
- The shader code MetalForge produces is yours to use and modify inside your own apps — see "Generated code" below for the limits.
- You may not use the site to do anything illegal, harmful, or that disrupts other people's use of it.
- You may not re-host, scrape, or rebrand the MetalForge site itself without permission.
Generated code
The MSL and Swift snippets MetalForge produces are derived from shader templates included with the site, and those templates remain MetalForge's property. We grant you a worldwide, royalty-free license to compile and ship the code you generate inside your own applications — personal or commercial — without attribution or further permission. You may freely show the running effect in your app, including screenshots and videos.
What you may not do:publish, post, share, or open-source the generated shader source code, or otherwise make it available to anyone outside your own project — whether for free or for sale. This includes posting it to a public or open-source repository, a gist, a forum, social media, or a shader or asset library, and selling or sublicensing the effect on its own. You also may not scrape or bulk-export MetalForge's effects. In short: ship the effect inside your app all you like; don't hand the shader code to anyone else.
No warranty
Limitation of liability
Pro
Pro is sold two ways, both via Stripe and both inclusive of any VAT due. The exact amount is shown at checkout before you confirm. Card details are handled by Stripe; we never see them.
Monthly is €9.99 EUR per month, billed monthly until you cancel.
Yearly is €120 EUR per year, billed yearly until you cancel. While the current offer runs it is €80 EUR per year, and if you subscribe during the offer it renews at €80 EUR per year for as long as your subscription continues. An offer may be withdrawn at any time; it never changes the price of a subscription already started under it.
Cancelling Monthly or Yearly: you can cancel at any time from your Account page. Cancelling ends Pro immediately — not at the end of the period you have paid for — and the unused part of that period is not refunded. If you want to use the whole period you have paid for, cancel shortly before your subscription renews; the renewal date is shown in the Stripe billing portal linked on your Account page. Both are explained again on the pricing page, at checkout and before you confirm a cancellation. Anything you downloaded while subscribed remains yours to use.
Subscriptions started before 28 September 2026: if you subscribed at €5 EUR or €9.99 EUR per month before that date, your subscription continues at that price and under the terms you signed up under — billed monthly until you cancel, cancellable from the Stripe billing portal linked on your Account page, with Pro active through the end of the period you have already paid for. You are never moved to a new price or new terms automatically; if you cancel and subscribe again later, the price and terms at that time apply.
Lifetime was a single payment (€49 EUR list price) and is no longer sold. If you bought it, it stays yours: it does not expire and there is nothing to renew or cancel.
Refunds: as a remote-delivered digital service you may not have a statutory cooling-off right under EU/UK distance-selling law once you have used the Pro features. Outside that, refund requests are evaluated case by case at hello@metalforge.xyz.
