Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions (collectively, these “Terms and Conditions”) apply to your use of theforgeworks.org, including any content, functionality and services offered on or via theforgeworks.org (the “Website”).

Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully before you start using the Website, because by using the Website you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms and Conditions are effective as of October 11, 2018. We expressly reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions from time to time without notice to you. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Website and these Terms and Conditions from time to time and to familiarize yourself with any modifications. Your continued use of this Website after such modifications will constitute acknowledgement of the modified Terms and Conditions and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Terms and Conditions.

The ForgeWorks website stores and processes personal data that you have provided to us, in order to provide our service. It’s your responsibility to keep your device and access to the website secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your device, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your device vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your devices’s security features and it could mean that the ForgeWorks website won’t work properly or at all.

You should be aware that there are certain things that Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks will not take responsibility for. Most functions of the website will require you to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks cannot take responsibility for the website not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.

If you’re using the website outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the website, or other third party charges. In using the website, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the website outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the website, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the website.

Along the same lines, Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the website i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks cannot accept responsibility.

With respect to Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks’s responsibility for your use of the website, when you’re using the website, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavour to ensure that it is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the website.

At some point, we may wish to update the website. Garden Spot Communities and ForgeWorks does not promise that it will always update the website so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the device and/or browser that you have installed on your device. We may also wish to stop providing the website, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the website.
