Terms of service

ForgeOS is a hosted tool, operated by Medina19, that turns a goal you write into a proposed change to software: a project it creates for you, or a repository you connect. It plans the work, asks a model to make the change, runs the repository’s own checks, records the evidence, and shows you the result to accept or decline. When you accept, the change is written onto a branch in your checkout on this host. It can also serve a built project at a share link or a public address when you ask it to. It runs on one host that we operate.

ForgeOS also offers an AI companion for conversation, reminders and optional personal memory. It is an automated service and can misunderstand you, give an incorrect answer or miss a reminder. Check information and arrangements that matter to you. The companion is not a professional adviser or an emergency service. Its conversations, saved facts and notification subscriptions are handled as described in our privacy policy.

What a build may write. A build works in a checkout on this host. Nothing is written to your repository until a change has been accepted. For a repository you connected, that is always a member of your workspace or, only if your workspace has turned it on, a model that did not write the change. A project ForgeOS created for you is different, and finishes itself by default. The first build delivered on such a project waits for you; after that, a build on that project is accepted automatically — with no person and no required model review — when the project’s own tests passed and no member of your workspace has already accepted or declined that goal. If your workspace has connected its own model provider, a model that did not write the change reads it first and can hold it back for you to review; where no such review can run, the build is still accepted. Each automatic acceptance is recorded as automatic and says whether a second model reviewed it. To stop it, use the Accepting without asking switch in your workspace controls; set to Asking before accepting, every build waits for you. An accepted change is written as one commit on a new branch on top of the commit it was proposed against. For a repository you connected, the branch you were on, your working tree and anything you had staged are untouched. ForgeOS pushes to GitHub only where you have both installed its GitHub app on that repository and allowed ForgeOS to write there; it then pushes only its own forgeos/ branch and opens a pull request from it. It never merges, and never writes your default branch — merging is yours. For a project ForgeOS created for you, accepting also moves that project’s default branch forward, and every earlier version stays on its own branch.

Each of these is enforced by the software, not only promised here, and each is visible in Trust & control inside your workspace (sign in to view Trust & control).

• It does not deploy

  Production authority is a flag nothing in the software ever turns on. No build reaches a production system, a DNS record or a certificate. Serving a site you published is the one exception, and it happens only when you press publish.

• It does not spend beyond your limit

  A request to a paid provider is reserved against the ceiling you set before it is made, and refused if it would cross it. A workspace with no limit set spends nothing: an unset limit permits nothing. The free models cost you nothing.

• It does not act without you

  Reading a repository is not permission to write to it; writing is not permission to deploy; none of it is permission to touch your customers’ data, spend money, or make a commitment on your behalf. Each is a separate authority, off by default, and a goal that needs one stops and says so rather than proceeding.

• It does not retry quietly

  When a goal cannot be finished, ForgeOS stops and tells you why, and where the goal was left so it can resume.

• Connect only what you may

  You must have the right to connect the repositories you connect, upload the files you upload, and let us process what is in them.

• Do not use it to harm

  Not for unlawful purposes, not to attack other systems, not to build things designed to cause harm.

• No harmful pictures or video

  Pictures and video made here may not show sexual content involving minors, sexual or nude imagery, graphic violence or gore, hateful symbols or propaganda, fake pictures of real people, self-harm, or how to make weapons. Asks like these are refused before any model sees them, nothing is counted against your allowance, and the refusal is kept on your workspace’s record.

• Do not publish deceit

  A published address on this domain must not imitate a brand or a sign-in page. The software refuses addresses of that shape, and pages that collect passwords or card numbers for another website, at publish time; anything that gets past it and is used to deceive people will be taken down.

• The acceptable use policy

  What you may not put online, how anyone can report a site, and what happens when one breaks the rules are set out in the acceptable use policy, which is part of these terms.

• Share the free models fairly

  The free models are a daily allowance shared by every workspace on this host. Calls are counted per workspace, and each workspace may make up to 300 a day; when that is used, work on the free models stops until the next day and nothing is lost. The operator may lower the per-workspace share if one workspace drains the allowance for everyone else.

• Review before it matters

  Review changes before they reach anything you care about. The product is built to make that possible; it does not remove the need.

Projects ForgeOS creates for you are built and reviewed by open-weight models reached through free gateways run by other companies, on keys we hold. None of those gateways has declared what happens to source code it is sent — whether it is stored, for how long, who can read it, or whether it is used to train anything. ForgeOS does not know and will not guess.

So before your code goes to one of them, a member of your workspace records, with their name attached, that they were told the retention is unknown and chose to send it anyway. Until somebody records that, no diff is sent and a model review refuses and says which declaration is missing; a person in your workspace can still read the change and accept or decline it. The acknowledgement proves nothing about the provider and can be withdrawn at any time. If you would rather your code never went to an undeclared provider, connect a provider of your own instead.

Free to start. There is no published price, no payment collection and no subscription, so nothing you do here today is a purchase. Work you run on a provider you connected is billed by that provider to you, within the limit you set here.

If pricing is introduced you will be told first, and the price will be on the pricing page before it applies to anyone. Declining work in review will not be a billable event with us. A provider you connected bills its own usage as the work runs; declining the result afterwards does not reverse that provider’s charge, which is why work on your own account only runs inside the limit you set. Because no fee exists yet, these terms say nothing about renewal, refunds or taxes; those clauses will be written when there is a commercial offer to attach them to. Where commercial terms are agreed with us directly in writing, that written arrangement governs.

This section matters more than the rest, so the key sentence is in bold above.

Governing law and venue. Section 17 names the law, and section 16 says how disputes are resolved.

We will give notice of material changes before they take effect — on this page and, where we can, to the address on your account — and we will never make a change retroactive. The date at the top is the date the current text took effect.

Questions about these terms: legal@medina19.com, or ask through support and a person will answer.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Medina19, its operator, and any company that takes over ForgeOS, from any claim, loss, liability, damages, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable lawyers’ fees) arising from:

• content you or your workspace upload, create, publish or share, including any site published at a medina19.com address or share link;
• repositories you connect and changes you accept or merge;
• your use of any provider, gateway or other service you connect, and your agreement with it;
• your breach of these terms or the acceptable use policy, or of any law or anyone else’s rights.

We will tell you about the claim, and we may take part in or control the defence with lawyers of our choosing. You may not settle a claim that admits fault for us or binds us without our written agreement.

• Their terms apply. Each model provider and gateway, and GitHub, Google and any other service you connect, has its own terms and usage policies. Using ForgeOS means following those too, including any rules they set on what their output may be used for.
• We are not responsible for them. We do not control, and are not liable for, another company’s service, availability, charges, data handling or output.
• Output is not checked for rights. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or similar to content owned by others. We do not promise you can own, register or freely use it. Checking licences and rights before you use or publish output is your job.
• Open-source parts. Generated projects may include open-source code under its own licence. Those licences apply to that code.

Do not use ForgeOS, or anything it makes, without qualified human review for:

• medical, health, legal, tax, financial, investment, insurance, credit, housing or employment decisions about people;
• weapons, explosives, or chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear harm;
• control of vehicles, aircraft, medical devices, power, water or other critical systems;
• any use where failure could cause death, injury, or serious damage to property or the environment.

ForgeOS gives no professional advice. Nothing it produces is medical, legal or financial advice.

What a notice must include

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or someone allowed to act for the owner.
2. The work you say is copied.
3. Where the copy is, such as the page address, so we can find it.
4. Your name, address, phone number and email.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not allowed by the owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or allowed to act for the owner.

What happens next

If the notice is complete, we remove or disable the material and tell the person who posted it. A notice that knowingly misstates infringement can make its sender liable for damages.

Counter-notice

If you think your material was removed by mistake, send our agent a counter-notice with:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. What was removed and where it was before.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the US, any district where we may be found) and will accept service from the person who sent the notice.

We send the counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have gone to court, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of people who infringe repeatedly, in appropriate circumstances.

Trademark and other rights complaints can go to the same address.

Talk to us first

Before starting a claim, email legal@medina19.com with your name, your account email, the problem, and what you want. We will do the same for you. Both sides then have 60 days to try to resolve it.

Binding individual arbitration

If it is not resolved, you and we agree that any dispute arising from these terms or ForgeOS will be decided by binding arbitration, on an individual basis. It will be run by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and fees are paid as those rules say. The hearing may be held by video, by phone, in writing, or in the county where you live. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

What stays in court

• Either side may bring an individual claim in small claims court, if it qualifies.
• Either side may ask a court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unauthorised access to ForgeOS.

No class actions, no jury

Claims may be brought only individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action. You and we give up the right to a jury trial. If this class waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to court under section 17, and not to arbitration.

Opting out

You can opt out of this section within 30 days of first accepting these terms. For accounts made before 3 October 2026, the 30 days start on 2 November 2026. Email legal@medina19.com from your account address with your name and the words “I opt out of arbitration”. Opting out does not change anything else in these terms.

Where local law decides

If you live in a country whose consumer law does not allow this section, such as in the EU or UK, it does not apply to you, and you may use your local courts.

• Whole agreement. These terms, the privacy policy, the acceptable use policy, and any written agreement with us are the entire agreement about ForgeOS. They replace earlier understandings.
• Summaries. The short summaries are there to help you read. If a summary and the full text differ, the full text governs.
• Severability. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, that part is limited as little as possible, and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, we have not given it up.
• Transfer. You may not transfer these terms. We may transfer them, including to a company formed to run Medina19 or one that takes over ForgeOS.
• What survives. Sections on ownership, liability and warranty, indemnity, disputes, governing law and these details survive after your account ends.
• Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events we cannot reasonably control, such as outages at providers, attacks, or natural disasters.
• Notices. We may send you notices by email to the address on your account, or on this page. You agree these are in writing.
• No third-party rights. Nobody else gains rights under these terms.
