Terms of Service

Last updated: July 22, 2026

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.

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 distribute any Rockstar game files.

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. 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.

4.2 Payments and merchant of record

Payments are processed by Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd and Paddle Payments Ltd) as our merchant of record. When you buy a paid plan, your contractual counterparty for the payment is Paddle, and Paddle’s checkout terms also apply to that transaction. Paddle collects and remits applicable taxes (including VAT), issues invoices and handles your card and payment data. We never receive or store your full card details.

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 then-current price for your plan, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through the Paddle 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.

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.

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 review, moderate, hide, or remove any published template at our discretion — in particular content that violates these Terms, infringes third-party rights, or is reported — and we may suspend publishing rights for repeated or serious violations. Removal of a template does not affect the local copy in your own projects.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Your content

You keep all rights you have in the projects, map edits, text, uploaded fonts and images, 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.

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 modify, suspend or discontinue features from time to time. 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.

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 6.2, 7, 8 and 11) will survive.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or for legal reasons. For material changes, we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example by email or an in-app notice) before they take effect. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and, where applicable, cancel your subscription before the change takes effect. Your continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

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.

12. Online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
