Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By using AudioForges, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. Use of the service

AudioForges provides tools to convert and analyze audio, including extracting audio from user-submitted video URLs. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to download, convert, or process any content you submit, including that it is your own content, is royalty-free, Creative Commons licensed, public domain, or that you have explicit permission from the rights holder.

You may only upload, link or process audio that you own or that the rights holder has allowed you to use. AudioForges separates and analyzes audio. It does not grant you any rights to the audio itself.

AudioForges does not publish or distribute the audio you process. We act only as a processing tool at the user's request.

The quick tools work without an account. Free song splitting needs a free account, made with Google sign-in or an email link, which also keeps your songs, Library and Studio Pass in one place. Uploaded files are processed only for the requested operation and are not retained longer than necessary, except Studio results saved to your Library, which are kept for 30 days unless you delete them sooner. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of any files you upload or results you generate. Some processing, including AI vocal separation and stem splitting, runs on third-party compute infrastructure under the same no-permanent-storage handling; see our Privacy Policy for the specific providers involved.

3. Prohibited use

You may not use AudioForges to infringe copyright, circumvent digital rights protections or access restrictions on copyrighted content, or process content you do not have the right to access.

4. Usage limits and availability

We may apply usage limits, file size limits, processing queues, or rate limits on any tool to ensure fair use and maintain service availability for everyone. These limits may change without notice.

Free tools may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. A change to the service never removes songs you have already bought.

5. Songs

Some jobs are paid for with songs (one Studio run of one track uses one song). They are sold in packs at the prices shown on the pricing page at the time of purchase. Songs from packs do not expire. Songs from a Studio Pass follow section 6. Songs are attached to the browser that bought them and can be attached to other browsers by the email sign-in described there; they cannot be transferred to another person or exchanged for cash. If a paid run fails, the songs for that run are returned automatically. If the clean version is not clean enough, or something went wrong with a payment, email contact@audioforges.com within 7 days of paying. A person reviews it and, under the 7-day guarantee, refunds the payment. Outside the guarantee, payments are refunded only where the law requires it. The full Refund Policy is part of these terms. We may change pack sizes and prices; a change never affects songs already bought. Songs may be used on any tool that takes songs, including tools added after the purchase.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Dodo Payments. Dodo Payments is the Merchant of Record for all our orders and handles payment, billing, sales tax, receipts and payment disputes. By completing a purchase you agree to these terms, to the Refund Policy, and to the Dodo Payments terms shown at checkout. You must provide a working email address at checkout; it is used to match your payment to your browser and to send your receipt.

6. Studio Pass subscription

The Studio Pass is an optional monthly subscription, available when it is offered on the pricing page. It needs an account. Each paid billing period adds the number of songs shown at purchase, and includes Forge Clean and Forge Split at no extra songs.

The Pass renews every month at the price shown at checkout until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account page or the billing page linked there. Cancelling stops the next renewal. The Pass stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, and you keep the songs you already have.

Unused Pass songs roll over for two months after the period they were added in, then expire. Songs bought in packs never expire. If a renewal payment fails, the Pass pauses until the payment is fixed. If a Pass payment is refunded or disputed, the Pass is cancelled and the songs from that payment are removed. We will email you before any price change takes effect, and you can cancel before it applies. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments as described in section 5, and refunds follow the Refund Policy.

7. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, accuracy of analysis results (key/BPM detection), or fitness for any particular purpose.

8. Limitation of liability

AudioForges and its operators are not liable for any damages arising from use of the service, including but not limited to copyright claims resulting from content you chose to process.

9. Who operates AudioForges

AudioForges is operated by Dipak Sah, an individual based in Kathmandu, Nepal, trading as AudioForges. There is no company behind the service. These terms are governed by the laws of Nepal, without affecting any consumer rights that the law of your own country gives you and that cannot be excluded.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
