Contributor Terms

CardForge Studio is a software product created and operated by Cameron Locke, an independent sole proprietor based in Oregon.

Your Contributor agreement is with Cameron Locke as the legal operator of CardForge Studio. Forge Review is the contribution path for CardForge. Contributors may submit Templates, icons, dividers, textures, frames, source files, element recipes, and other approved creative assets into the shared review Pipeline.

Only submit work you created, own, licensed, or have clear permission to contribute. Do not submit confidential work, client-restricted files, AI-generated material that violates its source license, infringing content, malware, deceptive files, or anything you would not want reviewed, archived, published, or used by other CardForge users.

Submitted assets move through the same platform Pipeline as starter assets: draft, submitted, voting, publish candidate, published, archived, or rejected. Contributor votes, owner rules, quality scores, access tiers, and platform caps can affect where an asset appears. Published assets may remain available after a Contributor leaves so existing users and Templates do not break.

Contributor records are durable platform history. Deleting or disabling an account should not delete prior votes, source-file references, registry records, published assets, or contribution attribution snapshots. Owners may archive, remove, or edit platform availability for safety, quality, legal, licensing, or operational reasons.

These Contributor Terms describe the current contribution model and do not create employment, partnership, guaranteed payment, or ownership of CardForge unless a separate written agreement says so.
