Terms of Service
Last updated: August 1, 2026
These Terms are available in English and German. For consumers contracting in German, the German version (AGB) is binding; this English version is provided for convenience. / Diese Bedingungen sind auf Englisch und Deutsch verfügbar; für Verbraucher, die auf Deutsch vertragsschließen, ist die deutsche Fassung maßgeblich.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of RedMapForge, the browser-based map editor available at redmapforge.com (the “Service”). The Service is operated by Dietrich Development GmbH, identified in our Imprint (“we”, “us”, or “RedMapForge”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What the Service is
RedMapForge is a browser-based editor for customizing the in-game minimap of Red Dead Redemption 2 (“RDR2”) for use on RedM (community multiplayer) servers. You can edit map text and lines, place labels and markers, and export a drop-in RedM resource folder that you install on your own server. All editing, preview and export happen through the Service; you download the resulting resource and use it yourself. Rendering and export are automated technical processes that run exclusively on your instruction and solely for your own account.
2. Relationship to Rockstar Games, Take-Two and RedM
RedMapForge is an independent, community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Cfx.re, or RedM in any way. “Red Dead Redemption”, “RDR2” and related names, marks and artwork are the property of their respective owners and are referenced here only for descriptive purposes.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service and of anything you export complies with the terms, licenses and policies that apply to you. In particular, you must own a legitimate copy of RDR2, and you are responsible for complying with Rockstar’s and Take-Two’s End User License Agreements, RedM’s / Cfx.re’s terms of service, and any other applicable rules when you create, export, distribute or run map resources. RedMapForge does not offer downloads of original game archives. The map imagery shown in the editor and included in exports is rendered exclusively from tile files that you upload yourself, extracted from your own legally owned copy of RDR2; RedMapForge does not ship, host or provide any game-derived tile data of its own. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of exported resources complies with the Rockstar Games / Take-Two EULA and the RedM/Cfx.re terms.
3. Accounts
To use most features you need an account. You can sign in with Discord, Google, or an email magic link; we do not use passwords. You are responsible for keeping access to your sign-in method secure and for all activity under your account that is attributable to you; you are not responsible for unauthorized use that occurs despite reasonable care on your part. You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age required to consent to data processing in your country) to use the Service. You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date.
4. Plans, billing and auto-renewal
4.1 Plans
RedMapForge offers a Free plan and paid plans (Pro, Studio, and a one-time Founder Lifetime license). The features and prices of each plan are shown on our pricing page, which forms part of these Terms. Prices are shown in euros (EUR) and may be subject to VAT. The price you see before checkout is the price for your country as reported by our payment provider, including any VAT that applies to you; where no VAT applies, the price shown is the final price.
A Cfx.re account is required to make a purchase. Our store is operated as a RedM store by our payment provider, which identifies buyers by their Cfx.re account — the same account used for RedM and FiveM. You will be asked to sign in with Cfx.re once during checkout and are then returned to RedMapForge to complete payment. We receive only the account identifier and display name from that sign-in, never your Cfx.re credentials. Using the Free plan does not require a Cfx.re account.
4.2 Payments and merchant of record
Payments are processed by Tebex (Tebex Limited) as our merchant of record. When you buy a paid plan, your contractual counterparty for the payment is Tebex, and Tebex’s checkout terms also apply to that transaction. Tebex collects and remits applicable taxes (including VAT), processes the payment and sends you a payment confirmation by email. We never receive or store your full card details. When you buy a paid plan, you enter into the purchase contract for that plan with Tebex as reseller and merchant of record; Tebex’s checkout terms, including refund handling, apply to that purchase. Your contract for the use of the Service itself remains with us under these Terms.
Everything about the payment itself is with Tebex - the checkout, the available payment methods, the payment confirmation and any receipt or invoice you may need, refunds and chargebacks, and your payment data. You can view your purchases and manage your subscription at checkout.tebex.io/payment-history, and Tebex answers payment questions at support@tebex.io. We help you with your RedMapForge account and your access to the Service; for anything to do with the payment we will point you to Tebex.
4.3 Subscriptions and auto-renewal
The Pro and Studio plans are subscriptions billed monthly or annually, as you choose. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the price agreed for your plan, until you cancel. If we change the price of your plan, the new price applies only from your next renewal, and only if we have notified you in text form at least six (6) weeks before that renewal, reminding you that you can cancel with effect from the end of the current billing period if you do not accept the new price. You can cancel at any time through your RedMapForge account or the Tebex customer portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access to paid features until then. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for the remainder of a period beyond the refund policy described below and in our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Consumers in the EU can also cancel subscriptions at any time using the cancellation button (“Verträge hier kündigen”) available in the footer of redmapforge.com.
Plan changes. Where a change between Pro and Studio within the same billing period is offered in your account, an upgrade takes effect immediately and the prorated difference is charged at once (the change is confirmed on the payment provider's own page, which we link you to); a downgrade takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Changing between monthly and annual billing is not a plan change: you cancel the current subscription and subscribe again on the billing period you want.
4.4 Founder Lifetime license
The Founder Lifetime license is a one-time purchase that grants Studio-level features for the lifetime of the RedMapForge service. “Lifetime” means the lifetime of the Service and is guaranteed for at least three (3) years from the date of purchase. If we ever wind the Service down after that period, we will give you at least six (6) months’ notice and a final window to export all of your projects as drop-in RedM resources; resources you have already exported keep working on your own server without us.
4.5 Downgrades
If you downgrade to a plan with a lower project limit, nothing is deleted. Any projects over your new plan’s limit simply become read-only until you upgrade again or reduce your number of projects. Read-only projects can still be opened, exported and deleted.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- upload, create, publish or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative of minors, or that violates any third party’s intellectual-property, privacy or other rights;
- circumvent, disable or interfere with security, rate-limiting, billing or entitlement features, or attempt to access accounts, data or systems that are not yours;
- scrape, overload, disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service beyond what applicable mandatory law permits, or use it to build a competing service by copying our content or systems;
- use the Service to distribute malware, or in any way that violates the terms of RDR2, RedM, or applicable law.
5.1 Community template store (user-generated content)
Paid plans may let you publish map templates to our community template store. Published templates are public user-generated content. You are responsible for what you publish and must have the rights to share it. We may hide or remove a published template, or suspend publishing rights, where we have objective grounds to believe it violates these Terms, infringes third-party rights, or is unlawful. Except where immediate removal is required (for example clearly illegal content), we will inform you of the removal, state the reasons, and give you the opportunity to respond; if your response shows the removal was unjustified, we will restore the template. Removal of a template does not affect the local copy in your own projects.
5.2 Your tile uploads (rights warranty)
RedMapForge does not include or provide any RDR2 map tile data. To use the editor with the real map you upload your own tile files from your own legally acquired copy of RDR2. You obtain and prepare these files yourself, outside the Service: RedMapForge does not provide game files, does not include any extraction functionality, and does not provide instructions, tools or assistance for obtaining files from the game. Whether and how you may make use of files from your copy is a matter between you and the game’s publisher; you are responsible for complying with the agreements that apply to you. Before an upload is accepted, you must confirm the following attestation:
Ich besitze eine eigene, rechtmäßig erworbene Kopie von Red Dead Redemption 2. Die von mir hochgeladenen Dateien stammen ausschließlich aus dieser eigenen Kopie, und ich stelle sie nur für die private Nutzung innerhalb meines eigenen Kontos bereit. (wording version 2026-08-01)
In English: “I own my own, lawfully acquired copy of Red Dead Redemption 2. The files I upload come exclusively from this copy of mine, and I provide them solely for private use within my own account.”
By confirming this attestation and uploading tile files, you warrant that these statements are true, and you are responsible for the files you upload to the extent provided by law. You must not upload tile data, or any other files, that you are not entitled to use.
Your tile files stay private. Uploaded tile files are stored for your account only. They are never shared with other users, never published, and never included in community templates or any other public surface — a published template contains only your own edits (labels, lines, markers), never tile data. When you delete a tile set or your account, the associated tile files are deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.
If you culpably breach the warranties above and a third party asserts claims against us as a result, you will compensate us for the reasonable costs of defending against those claims to the extent you are responsible for the breach. Your statutory rights and defenses remain unaffected.
Rights-holder notices: if we receive a substantiated notice that uploaded files or published content infringe third-party rights, we may remove or disable the affected content and, for repeated or serious violations, suspend the account. Rights holders can reach us using the contact details in our Imprint.
Collaborators: accepting an invitation to collaborate on another user’s project requires you to have your own uploaded tile set, confirmed under the same rights warranty above. Collaborating on a shared project does not grant you, or any other collaborator, any rights to another user’s uploaded tile files beyond rendering the shared project within the Service.
6. Intellectual property
6.1 Your content
You keep all rights you have in the projects, map edits, text, uploaded fonts and images, uploaded map/tile data, and other content you create or upload (“Your Content”). By using the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit and display Your Content solely to the extent necessary to operate and provide the Service to you (for example, rendering previews, generating exports, enabling collaboration, and — where you choose to publish a template — displaying it in the template store). This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for content you have published publicly and copies others have already made, and except for backups retained for a limited period or as required by law. You can unpublish a template at any time; unpublishing ends the store display, but does not affect copies other users have already lawfully obtained.
6.2 Our content
The Service itself — including its software, design, user interface, branding and the “RedMapForge” name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you to use the Service and the resources you export, these Terms do not grant you any rights in our content.
7. Availability and disclaimer
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We make reasonable efforts to keep the Service running and to preserve your data, but we do not guarantee any particular uptime, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will meet your specific requirements. We may change features of the Service where there is a valid reason for doing so, such as adapting to new technology, security requirements, legal requirements, or improving the Service. For paid plans, changes will not materially reduce the core features of your plan; where a change significantly impairs your access to or use of paid features, we will inform you in advance and you may terminate the affected subscription free of charge in accordance with Section 327r of the German Civil Code (BGB). This disclaimer does not limit any statutory warranty rights you may have as a consumer, and does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
8. Limitation of liability
We are liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), and to the extent we have given a guarantee.
For slight (ordinary) negligence, we are liable only where we breach a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely (a “cardinal obligation”). In that case our liability is limited to the foreseeable, typical damage for this type of contract. Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded.
The above limitations also apply in favour of our legal representatives, employees and agents. They do not affect any mandatory consumer rights. Liability for fraudulent concealment of a defect and under mandatory data-protection law remains unaffected.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. You may cancel paid subscriptions as described in Section 4.3. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms (including the acceptable-use rules), if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service in accordance with Section 4.4. Where reasonable and lawful, we will give you notice and an opportunity to export your projects before terminating access. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5.2, 6.2, 7, 8 and 11) will survive.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may amend these Terms only for valid reasons — such as changes in law or case law, security requirements, or changes to features of the Service — and only to the extent the amendment is reasonable for you, does not alter the relationship between price and core features of your paid plan, and does not retroactively affect rights you have already acquired. We will notify you of any amendment in text form (for example by email) at least six (6) weeks before it takes effect, highlighting the changes. If you do not agree, you may terminate the affected contract free of charge with effect from the date the amendment takes effect; our notice will remind you of this right. Amendments that materially change the contractual balance (in particular prices or the core scope of a paid plan) require your express consent.
11. Governing law and consumer rights
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence.
Dispute resolution
We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).
