Terms of Use

1. Scope and Provider

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the website sight-forge.com (“Website”) operated by SightForge Manuela Manolova and Mikaela Manolova GbR, Hochlandstraße 22, 80995 Munich, Germany (“SightForge”, “we”, “us”). Contact: sightforge.collective@gmail.com.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

2. Current Status of the Service

SightForge is currently in a pre-launch phase. At present, the Website provides informational content about SightForge, the ability to join a waitlist, and links to individual free learning sessions hosted on third-party platforms. Paid products and user accounts are not yet offered through this Website. Sections of these Terms that concern purchases, subscriptions, or registered accounts will take effect once those features become available, and we will update these Terms accordingly.

3. Waitlist

You may voluntarily submit your email address to join our waitlist. Joining the waitlist creates no obligation on your part and no entitlement to any product, price, or launch date. We may discontinue, modify, or reschedule the waitlist or any planned offering at any time. The processing of your email address is governed by our Privacy Policy.

4. Free Learning Sessions and External Links

The Website links to learning sessions and other content hosted on third-party platforms, including Tally (Tally BV, Belgium). When you follow such a link, you leave our Website and become subject to the terms and privacy policies of the respective third-party provider. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, availability, or data practices of external services. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking; if we become aware of any violations, we will remove the relevant links.

5. Permitted Use

You may use the Website for your personal, informational purposes. You agree not to:

• use the Website in any way that violates applicable law or these Terms;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, or any connected systems;
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Website;
• use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Website in a manner that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce, or that circumvents technical safeguards such as rate limits;
• submit false, misleading, or third-party personal data (for example, another person's email address without their permission).

6. Intellectual Property

All content, materials, and proprietary elements made available on or through the Website are owned by SightForge or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. This includes, without limitation:

• the SightForge name, logo, brand identity, and visual design;
• all text, copy, graphics, layouts, and audiovisual content;
• the SightForge learning methodology as expressed on the Website and in our sessions — including the structure, sequence, naming, and presentation of our six-block session framework, the “Skill → Category → Title → Session” knowledge architecture, and the Knowledge Vault concept;
• all learning session content, including questions, prompts, explanatory material, curated source selections, and the specific arrangement and wording thereof;
• all compilations, selections, and arrangements of the above, which constitute protected works in their own right.

The SightForge name and logo are trademarks of SightForge. Nothing on the Website grants you any right or license to use them.

You are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and view this content for your own private, non-commercial use only. Except where expressly permitted by mandatory law, you may not — in whole or in part — copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, publicly display, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, systematically extract, or create derivative works from any of the above, nor use it to develop, train, or operate a competing product or service, without our prior written consent. Short quotations with clear attribution, for non-commercial purposes and within the limits of applicable copyright law, remain permitted.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by SightForge.

7. No Professional Advice

SightForge provides educational content intended for general learning and personal development. It does not constitute medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. You are responsible for how you apply any insights gained through our content.

8. Availability and Changes

We provide the Website on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of it at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements; the current version is always available on this page, and your continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by our negligent or intentional breach of duty, and for damages caused by our intent or gross negligence.

For slight negligence, we are liable only where we breach a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper use of the Website and on whose observance you may regularly rely). In such cases, our liability is limited to foreseeable, typical damages.

Any further liability is excluded. This limitation does not affect liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) or under any guarantee expressly assumed by us. The above limitations also apply in favour of our legal representatives and agents.

10. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

If you are a merchant, a legal person under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from these Terms is Munich, Germany.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
