End User License Agreement for MacroForge
Last Updated: October 30, 2026
This Agreement is between you and MacroForge ("we," "us") and governs your use of the MacroForge desktop application and the online services that power it (together, the "Software"). By installing or using the Software you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use it.
1. Our Commitments to You
We built MacroForge to process your documents, not to collect them. In plain language:
- Your documents are never used to train AI. Not by us, and not by our AI provider. Google processes your content under terms that prohibit using it to train or improve their models.
- No one at MacroForge reads your documents. Processing is fully automated. Our systems are designed so that staff have no reason or routine means to view your content.
- We don't keep your documents. Files are held only as long as a job needs them and are then deleted automatically. The exact windows are in Section 4.
- We never sell your data or share it with anyone for marketing.
- What we do keep is small: your account identity, your credit balance, and basic usage counts needed to run the service. Section 4 lists it all.
The rest of this Agreement is the detail behind those commitments.
2. License
2.1 Grant. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software for personal or commercial purposes, subject to this Agreement.
2.2 Account and Device. Your license is tied to your MacroForge account and to one computer at a time. The Software identifies your computer with a hardware fingerprint. To move to a new computer, sign in there with your account and PIN; the previous computer is released.
2.3 Tiers. A free Base Tier provides a one-time allocation of Base Credits and a weekly replenishing allocation of AI Credits. A paid Premium Subscription provides a larger, recurring allocation. Credits are consumed by AI-powered features as described in the Software.
3. Restrictions
You will not, and will not allow anyone else to:
- Share your account, PIN, or license with another person, or use a shared one. The Software detects this and we may suspend accounts involved.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Software.
- Modify the Software or create derivative works from it.
- Remove proprietary notices.
- Use the Software for any unlawful purpose or to violate the rights or policies of any third party, including the terms of any application, website, or service your automations interact with.
4. Your Data and How It Flows
4.1 What Goes Where. When you use an AI feature, the document, image, screenshot, or text involved is sent from your computer to our server, which forwards it to Google's AI services for processing and returns the result. Google processes it under terms that prohibit training on your content and may log it briefly for abuse detection only. We do not control Google's internal practices beyond those terms.
4.2 Retention. We do not keep documents after a job finishes, with two time-limited exceptions:
- Watchman inbox. Documents received through your Watchman email address are held on our server for approximately one week so you can review them, then deleted automatically.
- Zapier and integration transfers. Files passing through our integration endpoints are deleted within one day.
Deleted files may remain in our cloud provider's recovery storage for up to seven further days before being permanently purged.
4.3 Inbound Email. Watchman assigns you an inbox address. Mail sent to that address is received by our server, classified by AI according to rules you set, and routed to your computer. Only mail sent to that address is processed; we never access your personal or business mailbox.
4.4 Outbound Data. Some features send data to destinations you choose, such as webhook URLs, Zapier, or email recipients. You are responsible for what you send and where. Once data leaves our systems we have no control over it.
4.5 Shared Blueprints. If you join an Organization, flows you publish to it are stored for the Organization's members. By publishing you grant your Organization a license to use them. Published flows contain configuration, not your documents.
4.6 Account Data We Keep. To operate the service we store your email address, a hashed PIN, your hardware fingerprint, your tier and credit balances, and counts of AI calls for credit accounting and abuse prevention. We do not store the content of those calls.
4.7 Marketing Measurement. If you arrived at MacroForge through an advertisement, we may report anonymous usage milestones to Google Analytics to measure which advertising is effective. These reports contain no document content and no personal information beyond an advertising identifier.
4.8 Service Providers. We rely on Google Cloud (hosting, storage, AI processing), Firebase (accounts and licensing), Lemon Squeezy (payments and subscriptions), and SendGrid (inbound email). Each processes data only as needed to provide its service to us and is subject to its own terms and privacy policy.
4.9 Deletion. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting [email protected].
5. Subscriptions and Payment
5.1 Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy. Your purchase is subject to its terms and privacy policy.
5.2 Premium Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from the Software or your Lemon Squeezy account; service continues to the end of the paid period.
5.3 When you upgrade from one paid plan to another, your previous subscription is cancelled automatically so you are not billed twice.
5.4 Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated in Lemon Squeezy's refund policy at the time of purchase.
5.5 We may change prices or credit allocations on notice. Changes apply at your next renewal.
6. AI Output and Automation
6.1 AI features produce results that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or wrong. You are responsible for reviewing output before relying on it, particularly for financial, legal, medical, or compliance purposes.
6.2 Automation features operate other applications on your computer by simulating clicks and keystrokes. You are responsible for the actions those automations take, for testing them before use on live data, and for ensuring they comply with the terms of the applications they control.
6.3 We are not responsible for files moved, data entered, messages sent, or any other action performed by an automation you configured.
7. Intellectual Property
The Software is licensed, not sold. MacroForge and its licensors retain all rights in the Software. You retain all rights in your documents and data; we claim no ownership of anything you process.
8. Support and Updates
We may provide support at our discretion via [email protected]. We may release updates, which you may install under your existing license. We are not obligated to provide support or updates, and may retire features on reasonable notice.
9. Disclaimer of Warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE OR ITS AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MACROFORGE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE OR ANY AUTOMATION OR AI OUTPUT IT PRODUCES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO ZERO FOR BASE TIER USERS, AND FOR PREMIUM SUBSCRIBERS TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID IN THE ONE MONTH BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
11. Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it, particularly Section 3. We may also suspend or terminate accounts involved in license sharing or abuse. On termination you must stop using the Software and delete your copies. Sections 4.9, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12 survive termination.
12. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any action arising under it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
13. General
13.1 Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the Software.
13.2 Changes. We may update this Agreement. We will post the new version with its date, and continued use after that date is acceptance. Material changes to Section 1 or 4 will be highlighted in the Software or by email.
13.3 Export. You will comply with applicable export laws and will not use the Software where prohibited.
13.4 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
13.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete agreement between you and MacroForge regarding the Software and supersedes all prior agreements.
