Terms and Conditions

The English version of this document is the sole legally binding version; translations are provided for convenience only.

Last updated: August 3, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website FOE-Tools (foe.tools) and its associated applications and features (together, the "Service"). Please read them together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and the Legal Notice.

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

1. Who We Are

The Service is provided by Krytos, a French société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle (SASU), registered office 9 rue des Colonnes, 75002 Paris, France (RCS Paris 981 775 232). Full publisher details are in the Legal Notice. In these Terms, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Krytos.

For any question about these Terms, please use the contact form and select the "Legal" reason.

2. The Service

FOE-Tools is a fan-made, independent set of calculators, planners, and related tools for the game Forge of Empires. The Service is provided for informational and convenience purposes only.

The Service is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by InnoGames GmbH. Forge of Empires and its related names, marks, and game content belong to InnoGames and their respective owners. Some game data may come from the Forge of Empires Fandom wiki (licensed CC-BY-SA).

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features of the Service at any time.

3. Eligibility

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 16 (in the EU/EEA) or 13 (in the United States). By using the Service, you confirm that you meet the minimum age that applies to you and that you are able to enter into these Terms.

4. Accounts

Some features require an account. When you create one, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity that takes place under your account. Please contact us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your authorization.

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account as described in Section 12.

5. Free Plan, Paid Plans, and Payments

Plans. The Service offers a free, ad-supported plan and one or more paid plans (for example, "Supporter" and "Premium"), which remove ads and raise certain usage limits. The features, prices, billing intervals, and any free trial or promotional terms that apply are those shown on the pricing and checkout pages at the time of purchase. We may change plans and prices for the future; changes do not affect a subscription period you have already paid for.

Merchant of Record. Paid plans are sold and processed through Polar (Polar Software Inc.), acting as our Merchant of Record and reseller. This means your purchase contract for a paid plan is concluded with Polar, and Polar's own terms and policies also apply to that purchase. Polar handles billing, payment processing, invoicing, and applicable taxes (including EU VAT). We do not receive or store your full payment-card details.

Renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. You can cancel at any time; cancellation stops future renewals, and your paid access continues until the end of the period already paid for. Cancellation does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund of the current period, except where required by law or by the applicable refund policy.

Right of withdrawal (EU/EEA consumers). Where the law grants you a right of withdrawal for a distance contract, it is handled through Polar at checkout. Because a paid plan is digital content or a digital service supplied immediately, you may be asked to expressly consent to immediate performance and to acknowledge that, once performance has begun with your consent, the withdrawal right may be lost. Your mandatory statutory consumer rights are not affected.

Refunds. Refunds, where available, are handled by Polar in line with its refund policy and applicable law.

Legal guarantee. If you purchase a paid plan, the statutory legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and digital services applies, in addition to any commercial commitments.

Voluntary donations. If a voluntary donation or "pay what you want" option is offered, donations are made voluntarily, are non-refundable except where required by law, and do not create any entitlement beyond what is expressly stated at the time.

6. Beta Phase

The Service may be offered as a public beta. During the beta, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis: it may change, be interrupted, or contain errors, and data may be reset (wiped) when the Service launches. We announce the beta status and any planned reset within the Service. Please do not rely on the beta Service for anything important without keeping your own records.

If you hold a paid plan, we will give reasonable prior notice of any planned reset and an opportunity to export your saved data before it takes effect.

7. Acceptable Use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

break the law, infringe the rights of others, or submit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content;
disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its API, or its infrastructure, or bypass rate limits, quotas, security measures, or the display of ads;
scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract content or data other than through features we provide for that purpose;
reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Service or its underlying software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our prior written consent; or
misuse the contact or support channels (for example, by sending spam, malware, or abusive content).

We may apply technical limits (such as rate limits and usage quotas) and enforce them.

8. Your Content

The Service lets you create or submit content, such as saved profiles, settings, messages, and support attachments ("Your Content"). You keep any rights you already have in Your Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, and display Your Content only as needed to operate and provide the Service to you.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm that you have the rights necessary to submit it. We may remove content that breaches these Terms or the law. How we handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Intellectual Property

The design, source code, algorithms, and original content of the Service are the property of Krytos SASU and are protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. No other rights are granted.

Forge of Empires and related marks and game content belong to InnoGames and their respective owners. Game data taken from the Forge of Empires Fandom wiki is used under the CC-BY-SA license.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example, payment through Polar, and advertising served by third-party ad networks and Google) and may contain links to third-party sites. We do not control third-party services or sites and are not responsible for their content, products, or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them.

11. Disclaimers and Liability

No warranty. The Service, including its calculators and planners, is provided for informational purposes on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that results are accurate, complete, or up to date, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. You use the results at your own discretion.

Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits or opportunity, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. If you are a consumer, we remain liable for reasonably foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these Terms. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for fraud, for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Consumer rights. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights under the law of your country of residence are not affected by these Terms.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or restrict access to the Service, or close an account, if you breach these Terms or the law, or to protect the Service, its users, or third parties. Where reasonable and lawful, we will give notice. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the most recent revision. For material changes, we will give reasonable notice through the Service or by other appropriate means before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you are a consumer and do not accept a material change, you may cancel before it takes effect; for a paid plan, you will not be charged for the period after the change takes effect.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by French law, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence if you are a consumer in the EU/EEA.

Before going to court, please contact us first through the contact form ("Legal" reason) so we can try to resolve the matter amicably. For a dispute about a paid plan, because the sale is concluded with Polar as Merchant of Record (Section 5), Polar's own dispute-resolution and refund process applies to that purchase.

If you are a consumer and your complaint has not been resolved by contacting us directly, you may use a free consumer mediation procedure. Our designated consumer mediator is:

CM2C (Centre de la Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de Justice) 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France Website: www.cm2c.net

You may refer an eligible dispute to CM2C, in particular through its website. Nothing here prevents you from bringing a claim before the courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law.

15. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Where a translation of these Terms conflicts with the English version, the English version prevails; however, if you are a consumer, you may rely on the version in your own language to the extent required by mandatory local law. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours to a successor in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the Service, provided your rights are not reduced. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and the Legal Notice, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
