Terms of Service
Last updated: March 7, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ForgeCoach ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
ForgeCoach is a skill verification platform. We provide AI-generated scenario assessments across professional skill categories. Users who pass assessments earn credentials — publicly verifiable records of assessment performance. The Service is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
3. Nature of Credentials
ForgeCoach credentials reflect performance on AI-generated scenario assessments only. They are not issued by an accredited certification body, professional licensing authority, or educational institution. Credentials have not been validated for use as employment screening tools under the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (29 C.F.R. Part 1607) or equivalent regulations.
ForgeCoach makes no representation that credentials will be accepted, recognized, or valued by any employer, institution, or third party. Credential holders are solely responsible for how they represent credentials to others.
Employers and third parties who independently choose to rely on ForgeCoach credentials do so at their own risk. ForgeCoach shall not be liable for any employment, hiring, or compensation decisions made in connection with credential data.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use ForgeCoach. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
5. Informational Purpose Only
IMPORTANT: ForgeCoach provides AI-generated scenario assessments for informational and educational purposes only. Assessment content reflects applied professional knowledge scenarios and should not be relied upon as authoritative guidance for any specific business, legal, financial, or technical situation.
ForgeCoach credentials reflect performance on AI-generated assessments only and do not constitute professional licensure, accreditation, or certification by any recognized credentialing body.
