Terms of Service

Last updated: May 7, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using the HookForge mobile application (the “App”) operated by HookForge (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using HookForge, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. You must be at least 13 years old to use HookForge.

2. Subscription and Billing

HookForge offers a free tier with limited hook-generation credits per month and a paid subscription that unlocks higher usage limits.

  • Price. The paid subscription is currently $7.99 USD per month.
  • Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
  • Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase and on each renewal date.
  • Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time via iOS Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you retain access through the end of the paid period.
  • Refunds. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple directly via reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not process refunds ourselves.
  • Price changes. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. We will provide advance notice of any price changes, and your continued subscription after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use HookForge only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent free-tier usage limits or take advantage of free credits more than once.
  • Automate, scrape, or otherwise extract hook-generation results in bulk through bots, scripts, or any method other than the App’s intended interface.
  • Use the App to generate content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, fraudulent, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of others.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the App or its underlying AI model.
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially distribute hook generation as a service without our prior written consent.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the App’s servers, networks, or security mechanisms.

4. Intellectual Property

Your content. You retain ownership of the hook text outputs generated during your use of the App. By using HookForge you represent that you will use generated content in compliance with applicable laws and platform terms of service.

Our property. The HookForge application, including its design, code, branding, and all content we create (excluding user-generated outputs), is owned exclusively by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without our express written permission.

5. Disclaimers

HookForge provides AI-generated hook suggestions as a creative tool to assist you. We make no guarantee that any hook will perform well, achieve a specific view count, go viral, or meet any particular benchmark of success on any platform.

Content performance depends on many factors entirely outside our control, including platform algorithms, posting time, audience, video quality, and trend cycles. You are solely responsible for evaluating and using any generated content.

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $10 USD, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct harmful to the App, other users, or third parties.

Upon termination, your right to use the App immediately ceases. If your account is terminated for a Terms violation, you are not entitled to a refund for any unused portion of a paid subscription. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of these Terms survive termination.

8. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the App that is not resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before initiating any legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at hookforgeapp@gmail.com and give us 30 days to attempt resolution.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after updated Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
