Terms & Policies

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Forged Man · forgedman.com

Effective Date: April 2026

01. Agreement to Terms

By purchasing, downloading, or accessing any product sold by Forged Man ("we," "us," "our") at forgedman.com or through any affiliated platform including Gumroad, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use in full. If you do not agree, do not purchase or access our products.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("the buyer," "the customer," "you") and Forged Man.

02. Intellectual Property

All content contained within The Character Stack and any other Forged Man product — including but not limited to written content, frameworks, exercises, module structures, design elements, and formatting — is the exclusive intellectual property of Forged Man.

Your purchase grants you a single-user, non-transferable, non-exclusive personal licence to access and use the content for your own personal development. Nothing in this purchase transfers ownership or any intellectual property rights to you.

You may not, under any circumstances:

  • Reproduce, copy, or duplicate any portion of the content in any medium or format
  • Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or share the product with any third party
  • Upload, post, or share the file publicly on any platform, website, or file-sharing service
  • Use the content to create derivative works, courses, programmes, or competing products
  • Remove or alter any copyright notices, branding, or proprietary markings
  • Share login credentials, download links, or access to the product with any other person
  • Present the content or any portion of it as your own original work

03. Enforcement & Legal Pursuit

Forged Man takes intellectual property infringement seriously and actively monitors for unauthorised distribution of its content.

Important Notice

Any individual found to be redistributing, leaking, reselling, or otherwise sharing Forged Man content without authorisation will be subject to immediate legal action. This includes but is not limited to claims under applicable copyright law, pursuit of damages including lost revenue, legal costs, and statutory penalties, and reporting to relevant platforms and authorities.

Each purchase is digitally tracked and linked to the buyer's account and email address. Unauthorised copies can be traced to their origin. Distributing this content is not worth the legal and financial consequences.

04. Personal Use Only

The Character Stack is licensed for your personal, individual use only. You may access the content on your own devices for your own self-development. Any commercial use, group use, or institutional use requires a separate written licence from Forged Man.

If you are interested in bulk licensing for organisations, coaching programmes, or educational institutions, contact us directly at the email below.

05. Disclaimer of Results

The content within Forged Man products is provided for educational and self-development purposes only. While we have made every effort to ensure the content is accurate, practical, and valuable, we make no guarantee of specific results. Individual outcomes depend entirely on the effort, consistency, and circumstances of the individual reader.

Forged Man is not responsible for any decisions made based on content within its products.

06. Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia.

07. Updates to These Terms

Forged Man reserves the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of our products following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will update the effective date at the top of this document when changes are made.

Our Guarantee

We stand behind The Character Stack completely. If you genuinely do the work — read every module and complete the stack exercises — and feel you gained nothing of value, we will refund you in full.

This is a performance-based guarantee. It exists for men who put in real effort and still feel the product didn't deliver. It is not a no-questions-asked return window. The work must be done.

Refund Eligibility

To be eligible for a refund, all of the following conditions must be met without exception:

  • 30-day minimum hold period — Refund requests submitted before 30 days from the date of purchase will not be considered. You must have had the product for a minimum of 30 days before requesting a refund.
  • All 10 modules completed — You must have read every module in full. The Character Stack is a complete system — partial completion does not qualify.
  • All stack exercises completed — Every module contains a stack exercise. All exercises must be completed in writing, in accordance with the instructions provided in the PDF.
  • Photo proof of completed exercises — You must submit clear photographic evidence of your completed handwritten or typed stack exercises. Photos must show legible, substantive responses to the exercise prompts — not blank pages, one-word answers, or incomplete entries.
  • Request submitted within 37 days of purchase — Requests submitted after 37 days from the purchase date will not be accepted regardless of circumstances.

How to Request a Refund

Follow these steps exactly. Requests that do not follow this process will not be processed.

  1. 01

    Wait 30 days from your purchase date

    Your purchase date is confirmed in your Gumroad receipt email. Requests submitted before 30 days have elapsed will be automatically declined.

  2. 02

    Complete all 10 modules and all stack exercises

    Work through the entire guide as intended. Complete every stack exercise in writing — journal entries, typed documents, or handwritten notes all qualify as long as responses are substantive and align with the exercise prompts in the PDF.

  3. 03

    Photograph your completed exercises

    Take clear, readable photos of all 10 completed stack exercises. Each photo must show the exercise prompt and your written response. Blurry, illegible, or incomplete submissions will not be accepted.

  4. 04

    Email your refund request

    Send an email to forgedman@gmail.com with the subject line: "Refund Request — [Your Full Name]". Include your Gumroad order number, your purchase date, a brief explanation of why you feel the product did not deliver value, and all photos of your completed stack exercises attached to the email.

  5. 05

    Allow up to 5 business days for review

    We will review your submission and respond within 5 business days. If your request meets all eligibility requirements, your refund will be issued to your original payment method within 3–5 business days of approval.

What Doesn't Qualify

The following situations are not eligible for a refund under any circumstances:

  • Requests submitted before 30 days from the purchase date
  • Requests submitted after 37 days from the purchase date
  • Failure to read all 10 modules in full
  • Failure to complete all stack exercises
  • Inability to provide photo proof of completed exercises
  • Change of mind, buyer's remorse, or financial circumstances
  • Claims that the content did not match expectations without completing the full programme
  • Duplicate purchases — contact us and we will cancel the duplicate
  • Purchases where the product has been shared with or accessed by any third party

Digital Product Notice

The Character Stack is a digital product delivered as an instant PDF download. Because the product is delivered digitally and immediately upon purchase, standard consumer return rights for physical goods do not apply. Our refund policy above represents our voluntary guarantee and supersedes any claim to an automatic return right for digital downloads.

Please note

Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first following the refund process above constitutes a breach of these terms. We reserve the right to pursue recovery of disputed amounts and to report fraudulent chargebacks to relevant authorities and payment processors.
