Terms & Conditions

1. About AlaricForge

AlaricForge develops commercial and free software products for businesses, including software for WordPress and WooCommerce. References to “AlaricForge”, “we”, “us” or “our” in these Terms refer to the provider of the AlaricForge software and services.

2. Software Licenses

Commercial AlaricForge products are licensed, not sold. A valid license permits you to install and use the software on the number of websites or installations covered by the license purchased.

Current AlaricForge Pro licenses may be offered for one site, five sites or twenty sites. The functionality of the software is the same across these license quantities unless otherwise stated on the relevant product page.

You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, share or otherwise make a commercial AlaricForge license available to third parties except where expressly permitted by us.

3. Annual Subscriptions

Commercial AlaricForge licenses are generally sold as annual subscriptions. Unless cancelled, an annual subscription renews automatically at the applicable renewal price.

Cancellation prevents future renewal but does not shorten the license period already paid for.

4. What Happens When a License Expires

Expiration, cancellation or deactivation of an AlaricForge commercial license does not automatically disable the installed software.

The version already installed may continue operating with its existing functionality and data. However, an active license is required for continued access to software updates, new releases and support.

We strongly recommend maintaining an active license for software used in tax, compliance, security or other environments where laws, standards, APIs or third-party platforms may change over time.

5. Software Updates

Active commercial licenses include access to software updates during the applicable subscription period.

Updates may include compatibility improvements, bug fixes, security improvements, regulatory changes, performance changes, new functionality or removal of obsolete functionality.

We do not guarantee that every version of the software will remain compatible indefinitely with every version of WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, browser, theme, plugin or third-party service.

6. Support

Active commercial licenses include support according to the AlaricForge Support Policy.

Support does not include custom software development, accounting, tax, legal or regulatory advice, server administration, or correction of unrelated third-party software unless expressly agreed otherwise.

7. Payments and Billing

Commercial purchases may be processed by Freemius or another authorized Merchant of Record or payment provider.

The payment provider may handle checkout, payment collection, invoicing, subscription management, applicable sales taxes, VAT, refunds, chargebacks and payment-related communication.

Additional terms and privacy policies of the applicable payment provider may apply to the transaction.

8. Refunds

Refund eligibility is governed by the AlaricForge Refund Policy published on this website and any mandatory consumer rights that apply under applicable law.

9. Free Software

Some AlaricForge products may be distributed free of charge, including through third-party directories such as WordPress.org.

Free products may provide a more limited feature set than commercial products but are not necessarily time-limited trials.

10. Third-Party Services

Some AlaricForge functionality may rely on third-party systems, APIs or services, including WordPress, WooCommerce, payment providers, government systems or validation services such as the European Commission VIES service.

We are not responsible for outages, incorrect responses, policy changes, availability failures or other problems caused by third-party services outside our control.

11. Tax and Compliance Disclaimer

AlaricForge software may assist with tax, VAT, reporting, accounting or compliance-related workflows. It does not constitute tax, legal, accounting or regulatory advice.

You remain responsible for determining the laws and rules applicable to your business, including registrations, product tax classifications, invoices, returns, filings, payments and record-retention obligations.

Where necessary, you should obtain advice from a qualified tax, accounting or legal professional.

12. Customer Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups, securely administering your website or systems, testing updates where appropriate, configuring the software correctly and monitoring the results produced by automated systems.

You must not use AlaricForge software for unlawful activities, fraudulent transactions, unauthorized access, abuse of third-party systems or any activity that violates applicable laws or rights.

13. Intellectual Property

Except for open-source components distributed under their respective licenses, AlaricForge names, branding, documentation, commercial software, designs and related intellectual property remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of AlaricForge intellectual property to the customer.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AlaricForge is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special losses, including loss of profit, revenue, data, business opportunity or anticipated savings arising from use or inability to use the software.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our aggregate liability relating to a commercial product will generally be limited to the amount paid for that product during the preceding twelve months, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

15. No Guarantee of Regulatory Acceptance

Tax authorities, courts, payment providers and other regulators may interpret laws, evidence or reporting requirements differently. Use of AlaricForge software does not guarantee acceptance of any filing, tax treatment, calculation or record by a government authority.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms where necessary to reflect changes in our products, services, commercial arrangements or legal obligations.

The latest version published on the AlaricForge website will apply from its stated effective date.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be sent through the contact or support details published on the AlaricForge website.
