Welcome to StockForge (the “App” or “we”). These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and the StockForge developer (the “Developer”) regarding your use of the App and related services. Please read these Terms carefully before registering, signing in, or using the App. By agreeing, completing Sign in with Apple, or actually using the App, you confirm that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Description of Service
StockForge is a local-first inventory and material management tool for craft studios, small workshops, and light production scenarios. Features include, but are not limited to:
- Material management (stock in/out, low-stock alerts, etc.);
- Product management and BOM (bill of materials) configuration;
- Production planning and stock log records;
- Local data storage and (optional for Pro users) iCloud sync;
- Data export (Pro feature), and related capabilities.
We may update, optimize, adjust, or discontinue features according to product plans and will notify you when reasonably possible through in-app notices, release notes, or similar means.
2. Accounts and Sign-In
- You must use Sign in with Apple to create and use an App account.
- You must ensure your Apple account is lawfully held by you and accept responsibility for all actions under that account.
- During Sign in with Apple, we may receive the user identifier Apple provides, and on first authorization, name and email if you choose to share them, for account identification and profile display. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- You may sign out at any time in the App. Whether locally saved business data remains after sign-out depends on your device settings and subsequent actions.
3. Free and Pro
The App offers Free and Pro tiers:
- Free: Core features work locally, with limits such as maximum numbers of materials and products; iCloud sync and data export are not included.
- Pro: Unlocked via a one-time purchase on the Apple App Store (price shown in the App Store). Pro removes relevant quantity limits and enables iCloud sync, data export, and other Pro benefits.
Pro purchases, refunds, and restore purchases are governed by Apple App Store rules. For payment or refund issues caused by Apple’s platform, follow App Store procedures; we will assist you to the extent permitted by law and platform rules.
4. iCloud and Data Sync
- Pro users may optionally enable iCloud sync to synchronize business data to the private iCloud database associated with your Apple ID (via Apple CloudKit).
- You must be signed in to a valid Apple ID and grant the App appropriate iCloud permissions in system settings.
- Availability, stability, storage, and security of iCloud are primarily provided by Apple. We are not liable beyond mandatory legal limits for delays, loss, or sync failures caused by Apple service outages, network issues, or account problems.
- Enabling or disabling iCloud sync may require restarting the App. Back up important data before changing sync settings.
5. User Content and Conduct
Materials, products, BOMs, images, notes, and other information you enter (“User Content”) are your responsibility. You agree that:
- User Content is truthful and lawful and does not infringe third-party rights;
- You will not use the App for illegal activities;
- You will not attempt to crack, reverse engineer, disrupt the App, or access systems without authorization;
- You will safeguard your device and Apple account to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
If you violate these obligations, we may restrict or terminate service and reserve the right to pursue legal remedies.
6. Intellectual Property
The App, its UI, code, icons, and documentation are owned by the Developer or respective rights holders. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works except as expressly permitted by law or written consent. You retain ownership of User Content but grant the Developer a limited license necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the service (e.g., storing, displaying, and syncing on your device or iCloud).
7. Disclaimer
- The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee absolute accuracy, uninterrupted operation, or error-free service.
- Inventory, production calculations, and alerts are for reference only and do not constitute financial, production, or legal advice. Verify important business decisions independently.
- You bear the risk of data loss from device damage, OS upgrades, accidental deletion, lack of backup, or third-party service failures. We recommend regular exports for important data (Pro users may use export features).
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for indirect losses, lost profits, or data loss arising from use or inability to use the App. If liability is required by law, total compensation shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for Pro (for free users, capped at CNY 100), unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
9. Changes, Suspension, and Termination
- We may suspend or interrupt parts of the service for maintenance, upgrades, or compliance and will try to notify you in advance.
- You may stop using the App and sign out at any time.
- We may suspend or terminate service if you materially breach these Terms.
- If the App ceases operation, we will notify users by reasonable means and explain data handling where applicable.
10. Updates to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms will be posted on this page or in the App with an updated effective date. Material changes affecting your rights will be highlighted. Continued use constitutes acceptance; if you disagree, please stop using the App.
11. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of mainland China (excluding conflict-of-law rules). Disputes shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation; if negotiation fails, either party may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction where the Developer is located.
