Terms of Use
Last updated:
Effective date: 12 September 2026
Version: 1.0
This is a translation of the Hungarian original for convenience. Where the two differ, the Hungarian text governs — see section 20.3.
1. The provider and the scope of these terms
1.1. The developer and provider of the CourseForge mobile application (the “App” or “CourseForge”) is:
- Name: Bába Gergely e.v. (sole trader)
- Registered and postal address: Béke utca 145, 2519 Piliscsév, Hungary
- Sole trader registration number: 58553789
- Tax number: 48261825131
- Email: support@courseforge.hu
- Website: www.bagemedia.hu
(the “Provider”).
1.2. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) apply to downloading, installing, accessing, purchasing and using CourseForge. By downloading, installing, purchasing or using the App, the user (the “User”) acknowledges that use of the App is governed by these Terms, by the Privacy Policy, and by the binding terms of the app store through which the App is distributed.
1.3. If the User does not agree with the Terms, they should not use the App and should remove it from their device. These Terms do not limit any right of the User that cannot validly be waived under applicable law.
1.4. A consumer is a natural person acting outside their trade, self-employed occupation or business activity. Provisions stated as applying to consumers apply only to such Users.
2. What the App is for
2.1. CourseForge is a digital course design and visualisation aid for equestrian sport. The App may in particular allow the User to:
- design equestrian courses and obstacle layouts;
- place, move and adjust course elements;
- save designs locally;
- export designs as an image, a PDF or a CourseForge file;
- import and edit supported CourseForge files.
2.2. The current features, technical requirements, compatibility and the scope of the Free and Pro features are set out in the App itself, on the app store product page and on the CourseForge website as they stand from time to time. Those descriptions form part of these Terms to the extent that they contain a specific and unambiguous commitment.
2.3. The App can in principle be used without registration and without a CourseForge account. Course designs created by the User are, as a rule, stored on the device. The details of data processing are set out in the separate Privacy Policy.
3. Important equestrian and safety warning
3.1. CourseForge is a design aid. It does not constitute judging, course building, coaching, veterinary, occupational safety, engineering or other professional advice, permission, certification or safety approval.
3.2. The distances, dimensions, curves, tracks, obstacle heights, stride counts, recommendations and graphical elements shown in the App are indicative and are there to assist design. A design shown on screen or in an exported document does not in itself demonstrate that the course:
- complies with any competition rules or with any federation or authority requirement;
- is appropriate for a given horse, rider, level of experience or class;
- can be built accurately, safely or physically at the actual venue;
- accounts for every risk arising from the going, weather, terrain, sightlines, obstacle material, arena size or any other on-site condition.
3.3. Before the course is built and used, the User must verify dimensions and distances on site, review the applicable rules, assess on-site risks, and where necessary involve a suitably qualified or experienced professional.
3.4. Working with horses carries inherent risks. The User is responsible for determining, safely and in accordance with the applicable rules, how the design is actually realised, how obstacles are constructed, how the course is used, and whether the horse and rider are suitable for it. The App must not be used in a way that distracts from riding, driving, operating machinery or any other activity requiring attention.
3.5. This section does not exclude or limit the Provider’s liability in any case where the law prohibits such exclusion or limitation.
4. Licence to use
4.1. Subject to compliance with these Terms, the Provider grants the User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the App for its intended purpose on compatible devices lawfully owned or controlled by the User. App store family or group sharing rules may differ from this.
4.2. The App is licensed, not sold. The User does not acquire ownership of the App, its source code or its intellectual property rights.
4.3. The licence covers both private and professional course design use. It does not entitle the User to sell, rent, distribute or otherwise commercially make available the App or any substantial part of it as a standalone product.
5. Prohibited use
5.1. The User must not:
- use the App unlawfully or fraudulently, in a way that endangers others, or in a way that infringes anyone’s rights;
- reverse engineer, decompile or modify the App’s source code, or create derivative software from it, except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law;
- circumvent the App’s technical protection, purchase verification, advertising display or access restrictions;
- open malicious, corrupted, tampered or otherwise improper files with the App, or pass such a file to anyone else as a CourseForge file;
- use the CourseForge name, branding or interface elements in a misleading way;
- interfere with the operation of the App by automated means, or use the App for unauthorised data extraction.
6. User designs, import and export
6.1. The User retains their rights in the individual course designs they create. The Provider acquires no ownership of designs stored locally by the User.
6.2. The User is responsible for holding the necessary rights to any content they import, use or share, and for ensuring that it does not infringe any third party’s copyright, trade mark, personality right or other right.
6.3. Exporting, sharing or saving to external storage happens only through an explicit action by the User. If the User sends a file to a third-party service using the operating system’s share function — for example to email, cloud storage or a messaging app — further processing and availability are governed by that third party’s terms.
6.4. The CourseForge format is the App’s own data exchange format. The Provider aims for reasonable backward compatibility but does not guarantee that every current or future version will handle without fault every file created earlier, later, or modified by a third party. This does not affect mandatory consumer rights.
6.5. The User should regularly make exported backups of important designs. Deleting the App, or the loss, failure, storage wipe, operating system upgrade or replacement of the device, may result in the loss of locally stored data.
7. Free version and advertising
7.1. The free (Free) version of the App may contain advertising. Advertising may be served by a third party, in particular Google AdMob.
7.2. Where the law requires it, the App provides the relevant consent options for advertising on a dedicated privacy screen. Refusing or withdrawing consent does not necessarily remove advertising; in such a case limited personalised or non-personalised advertising may be shown, where that is lawful.
7.3. The Provider does not necessarily review in advance the content of every third-party advertisement or the external service being advertised. External content reached by clicking an advertisement is governed by that external provider’s terms. This does not affect the Provider’s statutory liability for its own unlawful conduct.
8. Lifetime Pro one-off purchase
8.1. Lifetime Pro is not a subscription. It is a one-off, non-auto-renewing in-app purchase. By purchasing it, the User obtains access, within the relevant app store and platform, to the features clearly identified as Pro features in the App and on the purchase screen at the time of purchase.
8.2. “Lifetime” in this document means that Pro access carries no recurring subscription fee and does not expire after a fixed period. It does not promise unlimited technical support, continuous development, every future feature, compatibility with every future operating system or device, or perpetual distribution of the App, for the lifetime of the User or of any person.
8.3. The Lifetime Pro entitlement may be used for as long as the App is generally available and technically sustainable, in accordance with mandatory law. The Provider will not deactivate a lawfully purchased entitlement merely in order to make the User buy the same Pro access again.
8.4. The Pro entitlement is, as a rule, tied to the Apple ID or Google account and to the platform on which the purchase was made. A purchase on iOS does not automatically grant access on Android, and a purchase on Android does not automatically grant access on iOS, unless the Provider expressly states otherwise.
8.5. The purchase transaction is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. The Provider may use the technical services of RevenueCat to verify entitlements. The Provider does not receive the User’s full payment card details.
8.6. A previous purchase can be restored with the “Restore purchases” function using the same app store account, subject to the technical rules of that store and platform. Changing account or platform, a restriction imposed by the store, or the absence of a purchase receipt may affect restorability.
8.7. The price applicable at the time, and any taxes, are shown on the purchase screen or by the app store before the purchase is completed. The Provider does not retroactively increase the price of a one-off purchase that has already been completed.
9. Withdrawal, refunds and consumer rights
9.1. Refund requests for in-app purchases are, as a rule, handled and processed technically by the app store through which the purchase was made. The User may request a refund through Apple’s or Google’s designated channel, subject to the terms applicable there.
9.2. For digital content supplied other than on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal may lapse on the conditions laid down in mandatory law, in particular where performance began with the consumer’s express prior consent, the consumer acknowledged at the same time that they would lose their right of withdrawal, and the required confirmation was provided. These Terms do not in themselves exclude any statutory right of withdrawal, warranty for defects, right to have the content brought into conformity, price reduction, termination or refund.
9.3. If the App or the Pro digital content is defective, the consumer has the rights available under the mandatory law applicable to them. The User may report a defect using the contact details in section 15; a refund of the purchase transaction itself may also require Apple’s or Google’s involvement.
10. Updates, changes and compatibility
10.1. Information on compatible devices and minimum operating system requirements is given on the app store product page as it stands from time to time. Some features may require storage, file access, an internet connection or a specific operating system service.
10.2. In accordance with applicable law, the Provider may issue bug fixes, security and compatibility updates and functional changes. For correct and secure operation, the User must install updates that can reasonably be expected of them. If the User fails to install a necessary update despite appropriate notice, the Provider is not liable for a fault arising solely from that failure, provided the failure to install is not attributable to inadequate instructions from the Provider.
10.3. The Provider may develop, rearrange or discontinue free features, or introduce new ones, provided this does not affect entitlements already purchased or mandatory consumer rights. A materially detrimental change to a paid feature may be made only where and in the manner permitted by applicable law.
10.4. The Provider cannot guarantee that the App will work on every future device, on an unsupported operating system, on a modified (“rooted” or “jailbroken”) device, or in an environment that Apple or Google no longer supports.
11. Maintenance, support and availability
11.1. The Provider is responsible for the maintenance and support obligations imposed on it by applicable law. Customer support is available at the email address in section 15.
11.2. The Provider aims for the App to run reliably, but does not promise uninterrupted or entirely fault-free operation in all circumstances. Features requiring the internet, advertising and purchase verification may become temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, network failure, an app store failure or another cause outside the Provider’s reasonable control.
11.3. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or customer support for CourseForge.
12. Intellectual property
12.1. The App, its source and object code, interface, graphics, built-in elements, data structures, documentation, name and branding — other than elements separately identified as belonging to third parties — are the intellectual property of the Provider or its licensors and may be protected by copyright, trade mark or other law.
12.2. These Terms grant only the licence set out in section 4; they transfer no other rights.
12.3. If a third party alleges that the App or its lawful use infringes their intellectual property rights, the Provider — not Apple or Google — is responsible for investigating, handling and resolving that claim within the limits of applicable law.
13. Third-party services and terms
13.1. Third-party services may be involved in the operation or distribution of the App, in particular:
- the Apple App Store and Apple operating system services;
- Google Play, Google Mobile Ads/AdMob and Google operating system services;
- RevenueCat purchase and entitlement management;
- external sharing or file storage services chosen by the User.
13.2. The User must comply with the applicable terms of any third-party service they use. The Provider is not liable for a fault, outage or content of a third party’s own service that the Provider did not cause or over which it has no reasonable control. This does not affect the Provider’s mandatory liability for its own service.
13.3. The CourseForge Privacy Policy gives detailed information on third-party processing of personal data.
14. Warranty and liability
14.1. The Provider supplies the App in accordance with the app store description, these Terms and applicable mandatory law. Liability towards a consumer cannot be excluded or limited for damage caused intentionally, for breach of contract that harms human life, physical integrity or health, under product liability, or in any other case where the law prohibits exclusion or limitation.
14.2. The Provider does not warrant that any particular course design created by a User is suitable for a specific horse, rider, training session, event or competition, or that it complies with a given organisation’s rules as they stand. The User is responsible for the correctness of the data they enter, the elements they choose, the dimensions, the scale, the print settings and the on-site realisation.
14.3. The Provider is not liable for damage or data loss that demonstrably and exclusively results from:
- use of the App contrary to its purpose or contrary to the warnings;
- incorrect data entry by the User, or failure to measure on site;
- an unsupported, modified or faulty device;
- failure to install a necessary update despite appropriate notice;
- an external service chosen by the User; or
- an unavoidable event outside the Provider’s reasonable control,
provided that the Provider acted as could generally be expected in the circumstances.
14.4. For a User acting in a business or professional capacity — except for damage caused intentionally and damage to life, physical integrity or health — the Provider is not liable for indirect damage, lost profit, lost business opportunity or consequential damage connected with the App, to the extent applicable law permits such a limitation. This paragraph does not apply to consumers.
14.5. If the App distributed on an Apple platform fails to conform to any applicable warranty, the User may notify Apple, which may refund the purchase price of the App, if any, in accordance with its own rules and applicable law. Beyond that, and except where required by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the App; the Provider is responsible for handling any other lawful claim relating to the App.
15. Contact and complaints
15.1. The User may raise support questions, fault reports or complaints at:
- Email: support@courseforge.hu
15.2. The Provider investigates verbal complaints immediately and remedies them where possible. The Provider answers written consumer complaints in writing, on the merits and in a verifiable manner, within 30 days of receipt. Any rejection is reasoned. Data needed for complaint handling is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
15.3. For matters concerning invoicing, payment, refunds or the app store account, the User may also need to contact Apple or Google customer support directly.
15.4. A consumer may turn to the conciliation board competent for their domicile or place of residence, having first attempted to settle the dispute directly with the Provider. The board competent for the Provider’s registered seat is:
- Name: Fejér Vármegyei Békéltető Testület (Fejér County Conciliation Board)
- Address: Hosszúsétatér 4-6, 8000 Székesfehérvár, Hungary
- Telephone: +36 22 510-310
- Website: https://www.bekeltetesfejer.hu/
Current contact details for the Hungarian conciliation boards are available at https://bekeltetes.hu/. Under the applicable rules, a consumer may also bring proceedings before another competent conciliation board. Conciliation board proceedings do not affect the right to go to court.
16. Suspension and termination of use
16.1. The User may stop using the App and delete it from their device at any time. Deleting the App does not in itself result in an automatic refund.
16.2. In the event of serious or repeated breach, a security risk, fraud, circumvention of purchase entitlements, or a legal obligation, the Provider may restrict or terminate the User’s licence, proportionately to the circumstances. A consumer’s paid entitlement may be restricted only in compliance with mandatory law.
16.3. Sections 3, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18 and 19 survive the end of use by their nature.
17. Changes to these Terms
17.1. The Provider may amend these Terms because of a change in the law, an authority or app store requirement, a new feature, security reasons, a change in the business model, or to clarify the text.
17.2. An amendment may not retroactively reduce, without proper legal basis, material entitlements already acquired through a completed one-off purchase. The Provider gives reasonable advance notice of material changes that are detrimental to the User, in the App, on the website or by other suitable means, unless an immediate change is required for legal, regulatory or security reasons.
17.3. An amendment applies to contracts concluded before it takes effect only to the extent the law permits. Where mandatory law gives the User a right of termination or another right in the event of an amendment, these Terms do not restrict it.
18. Specific provisions relating to Apple
18.1. Where the App is used on iOS, iPadOS or another Apple platform, the User and the Provider acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between them only, and not with Apple. The Provider, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content.
18.2. The licence granted for the Apple platform is non-transferable, and the App may be used on an Apple-branded product owned or controlled by the User in accordance with the Usage Rules of the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; this does not affect Family Sharing, volume licensing or other sharing arrangements permitted by Apple.
18.3. The Provider is responsible for maintenance and support of the App as set out in these Terms and in mandatory law. Apple has no such obligation.
18.4. Within the limits of applicable law, the Provider and not Apple is responsible for addressing claims relating to product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection, data protection, and any other claims by users or third parties concerning the App.
18.5. The Provider and not Apple is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any claim alleging infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights.
18.6. The User represents that they are not located in a country or region that is subject to a US Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that they are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
18.7. When using the App, the User must comply with the applicable third-party agreements that apply to them, including the applicable Apple Media Services terms and the terms of their internet service provider.
18.8. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. On the User’s acceptance of these Terms, Apple becomes entitled to enforce the provisions relating to it against the User.
19. Governing law and disputes
19.1. These Terms and the legal relationship connected with the App are governed by Hungarian law, having regard to mandatory rules of private international law.
19.2. If the User is a consumer, the choice of Hungarian law does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of their habitual residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement. A consumer may bring proceedings before the court competent under applicable law; these Terms do not impose an exclusive Hungarian forum on them.
19.3. In a dispute with a User who is not a consumer, the parties submit — depending on subject-matter jurisdiction — to the Hungarian court competent for the Provider’s registered seat, to the extent applicable law permits.
20. Miscellaneous
20.1. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the affected provision, the rule of applicable law closest to the lawful purpose of the original provision applies.
20.2. A failure by the Provider to enforce a right does not constitute a waiver of that right.
20.3. The Hungarian version is the Provider’s original set of terms. In the case of a version in another language, and without prejudice to a consumer’s mandatory rights, the Hungarian text governs in the event of any discrepancy. Material contractual information must be made available to the User in an understandable language before the contract is concluded.
