Refund Policy
Monthly subscription ($500/month)
You can cancel at any time from the Stripe billing portal linked in your dashboard. On cancellation:
- Billing stops at the end of the current billing period.
- You retain access for the rest of the period you've already paid for.
- We do not pro-rate refunds for partial months.
- If you believe you were billed in error or charged after canceling, email hello@forgehq.trade within 30 days and we'll investigate. Legitimate billing errors are always refunded.
Lifetime purchase ($5,000)
14-day refund window. If you change your mind within 14 calendar days of purchase, email hello@forgehq.trade and we will issue a full refund. No reason required, no questions asked. The refund is processed through Stripe and typically lands in your account within 5-10 business days.
The 14-day window does not require you to have used the product. We trust you to make the call.
After 14 days, refunds are not automatic. Lifetime purchases are non-refundable beyond the 14-day window except in cases where:
- We are unable to deliver the service for an extended period (e.g. permanent shutdown).
- A material breach of these terms occurred on our side.
- You were billed in error.
Discretionary refunds beyond 14 days are reviewed case-by-case. Email us; we read every request.
What is NOT a refund reason
These are not grounds for a refund (because they are entirely under your control or are inherent to trading):
- The bot lost money on your account.
- Backtest results did not match your live results.
- You violated a prop firm rule (DLL, MLL, consistency rule, etc.) while the bot was active.
- You forgot to flip to live mode, or flipped to live mode prematurely.
- You connected the wrong account by accident.
- The market was unfavorable to the strategy during your trial period.
- You changed your mind about trading.
None of these are us failing to deliver the product. The product is the bot + the platform. Whether the bot makes money on a given account in a given window is a function of the market, the account, the user, and statistics.
How to request a refund
Email hello@forgehq.trade with:
- The email address on your Forge account
- The approximate date of purchase
- Whether it's a monthly cancellation or a lifetime refund
- A brief reason (only required for lifetime refunds beyond the 14-day window)
Refunds are processed through Stripe to the original payment method. Allow 5-10 business days for the refund to appear.
Chargebacks
Filing a chargeback without first contacting us is unkind and slow. Email first; we will resolve legitimate complaints faster than a chargeback can be processed. Unwarranted chargebacks (where a refund would have been issued had you asked) may result in account termination and a ban from future purchases.
