Token Forest End User License Agreement (EULA)

Version 1.0-beta (pre-release draft) · Last updated 2026-07-09 · Effective at first public release

Publisher: Poietic Studio

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding contract between you (“you”) and the developers of Token Forest, operating under the name “Poietic Studio” (“we”, “us”, or the “Licensor”), for the Token Forest software (the “Software”). Poietic Studio is a trading name used by the developers and is not, at present, a separate registered legal entity; the Licensor under this Agreement is the individual developer(s) who operate it. Please read this Agreement carefully before installing or using the Software. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Software, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software, and delete all copies you have obtained. If you accept this Agreement on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

1. Definitions

  • “Software” — the Token Forest desktop application (Windows and macOS), including its executables, bundled assets, documentation, and any updates we provide.
  • “Leaderboard Service” — the optional, opt-in online global leaderboard and its backend.
  • “Documentation” — the guidance, Privacy Notice, and Security Policy provided with the Software or on the official website.
  • “Official channels” — https://www.tokenforest.com.au and our designated official repository (GitHub Releases).

2. License grant

Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, the Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to: (a) download and install the Software on devices you own or control; and (b) run and use the Software for your personal or internal business purposes, in the manner it is intended to be used.

During the public beta, the Software is provided free of charge. See Section 9 regarding the beta nature and possible future pricing.

3. License restrictions

Except to the extent permitted by mandatory applicable law or expressly authorized in writing, you must not (and must not allow any third party to):

  • copy, distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, transfer, or sublicense the Software, or otherwise commercially exploit it;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code or underlying structure (except to the limited extent this cannot be prohibited under mandatory law);
  • modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software;
  • remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
  • circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, authentication, or technical protection of the Software or Leaderboard Service;
  • use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in a way that infringes the rights of others;
  • use the Software to build a competing product or service.

4. Ownership and intellectual property

The Software is licensed, not sold. The Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and Documentation, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to you except as expressly set out in this Agreement. The pixel art, icons, names, logos, and branding are protected by copyright and trademark and are additionally governed by the LICENSE (art and branding terms) published in the official repository.

5. Third-party tools and no affiliation

The Software reads the usage logs that Claude Code and OpenAI Codex write locally on your machine in order to function. Those third-party tools are operated by their respective providers and governed by their own terms. Token Forest is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, or their affiliates; those names are used only to describe compatibility. You are responsible for using those third-party tools lawfully.

6. Optional Leaderboard Service

The Leaderboard Service is off by default and runs only after you enable it through the in-app consent dialog. When using the Leaderboard Service, you agree:

  • not to upload false, misleading, fabricated, or artificially inflated data (including cheating or faking token counts);
  • not to set an unlawful, infringing, abusive, hateful, sexual, or otherwise inappropriate display name or content;
  • not to interfere with, attack, probe, or attempt unauthorized access to the Leaderboard Service or other users' records;
  • that data synced by the Leaderboard Service, how it is displayed, and how it is deleted are handled as described in the Privacy Notice.

We may remove offending entries or names and suspend or terminate any user's access to the Leaderboard Service without prior notice. The Leaderboard Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis; we do not guarantee it will be continuously available, timely, accurate, or retained indefinitely.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Software is also governed by the Privacy Notice (published on the official website), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Core features run locally on your device; uploads occur only when you enable the Leaderboard Service, as detailed in the Privacy Notice and the in-app consent dialog.

8. Updates

The Licensor may (but is not obliged to) provide updates, upgrades, patches, or new versions from time to time. Unless an update is accompanied by separate terms, this Agreement applies to it. Some updates may be necessary to fix security issues; we recommend installing them promptly. We may cease supporting older versions at any time.

9. Beta status; availability

You understand and agree that the Software is currently a pre-release beta that may contain defects, errors, or instability, and may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued at any time. The Licensor does not warrant that the Software is suitable for any production or critical use.

The Software is provided free of charge during the beta. The Licensor reserves the right to introduce paid features, subscriptions, or price changes in future versions; any such change will be announced before it takes effect and will not affect your use of an existing version.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software and the Leaderboard Service are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. The Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted, that its results are accurate or reliable, or that all defects will be corrected.

Any cost or spend estimates shown by the Software are approximate figures based on a bundled price table, not a bill or financial record, and must not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you; in that case you may have statutory rights that this Agreement does not seek to limit. In particular, nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and regardless of the legal theory, the Licensor and its members will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will the Licensor's total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software exceed the amount you paid for the relevant Software (and because the Software is free during the beta, the minimum amount permitted by applicable law). This section does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the Licensor harmless from any third-party claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your breach of this Agreement or your misuse of the Software or Leaderboard Service.

13. Export and compliance

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to applicable trade sanctions or embargo, are not on any restricted-party list, and will comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, and will not use the Software for any purpose prohibited by those laws.

14. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by and construed under the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of New South Wales, Australia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Nothing in this section affects any non-waivable rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory law of your place of residence, including the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.

15. Termination

This Agreement is effective when you first install or use the Software and continues until terminated. It will terminate automatically, without notice, if you breach any of its terms. You may terminate it at any time by ceasing all use and deleting all copies of the Software.

Upon termination, the license granted in Section 2 ends immediately and you must stop using and delete all copies of the Software. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4, 10, 11, 12, and 14) survive termination. To delete a Leaderboard Service record, follow the process described in the Privacy Notice.

16. General

  • Entire agreement — This Agreement, together with the Privacy Notice, the Security Policy, and the LICENSE, is the entire agreement between you and the Licensor regarding the Software and supersedes any prior understanding.
  • Severability — If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
  • No waiver — A failure or delay in exercising any right is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment — You may not assign or transfer this Agreement; the Licensor may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets.
  • Force majeure — The Licensor is not liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control.

17. Language

The English version of this Agreement prevails. We may provide translations (for example Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) for convenience; in the event of any discrepancy or conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version governs.
