Last updated · June 2026

Use of this site

This site is owned and operated by Zal Forge (forge.zalbase.com). By using the site you agree to use it lawfully, not to attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it, and not to use it to harm us or others.

Project briefs

Submitting a brief through /forge is a request to start a conversation, not a contract. We will reply to evaluate fit. If we proceed, a separate signed engagement agreement governs the work, its scope, deliverables, timeline, ownership, and payment terms.

Engagement work

Any code, designs, or assets produced for a paying engagement are governed by the engagement agreement signed at kickoff. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, clients receive full ownership of delivered work upon final payment.

For services-business clients, we provide reasonable post-launch care during the engagement's warranty period as defined in the agreement. Ongoing support is available through a separate care plan.

Intellectual property

The Zal Forge name, marks, design system, illustrations, and copy on this site are the property of Zal Forge. Any case studies, screenshots, and references to client work shown here are published with the relevant client's permission and remain the property of their respective owners.

Limitation of liability

This site is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zal Forge is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from use of the site itself. Liability for paid engagements is set out in the engagement agreement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
