Jun 10, 2026 · 17 min read

IRIX Viewer · Effective Date: 10 June 2026 · Forge Reality CO., LTD., Taipei, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

Forge Reality CO., LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan), with its registered office at Taipei (“Forge Reality,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), provides IRIX Viewer, an application that allows users to view 3D teaching and project content that has been shared with them, including in model view, augmented reality (“AR”), and mixed reality (“MR”) modes. The “Services” means, collectively: the IRIX Viewer application, our proprietary viewer technology, our share-link and QR-code features, and the hosted backend services that deliver shared content to the application. The Services may be modified from time to time in accordance with this Agreement.

The Services let you access content that another IRIX user has shared with you via a share link or QR code, without an account. Before shared content is displayed to you, the Viewer presents these access conditions; by proceeding to access the content, including by clicking to accept where presented, you (“you”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Agreement”). If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not access the content.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT PROVISIONS, INCLUDING DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND A GOVERNING-LAW AND DISPUTE-RESOLUTION CLAUSE DESIGNATING THE COURTS OF TAIWAN.

1. Accessing Shared Content

1.1 What the Viewer does. The Services allow you to open a project that an IRIX user has shared with you (via a share link, deep link, or QR code) and to preview it in model view and AR/MR modes. Features available to you depend on what the content owner has chosen to share.

1.2 Access conditions. When you access shared content via a share link, you agree to: use the content only for the purpose for which it was shared; not copy, redistribute, scrape, or create derivative works from it except with the content owner’s permission; and comply with Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7 as applicable to your access. If you do not agree, you must not access the content.

1.3 Access. We may decline to offer the Services to any person or entity where we have a legitimate reason to do so. We may suspend or block your access to the Services for misuse, unlawful conduct, conduct that harms other users or creates legal exposure for us, or to comply with law, legal process, or sanctions.

1.4 Share links are not confidential. Shared content is accessible to anyone who obtains the share link or QR code. While we apply commercially reasonable technical measures (such as share session tokens), we do not guarantee that content shared via a link will remain confidential; it may be accessible to anyone who obtains the link, including through forwarding, republication, or indexing outside our control.

2. Ownership of Forge Reality Content

2.1 Definition. “Forge Reality Content” means all content made available through the Services other than User Content, including software, the viewer, user interface designs, graphics, logos, text, sample assets, and documentation.

2.2 Ownership. All Forge Reality Content is owned by Forge Reality or its licensors and is protected by the copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and other jurisdictions, and by international treaties. Except for the limited license in Section 2.3, we retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and the Forge Reality Content.

2.3 License to You. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to access and use the Services and Forge Reality Content for your internal educational, professional-training, or project purposes (the “Permitted Purposes”). No other rights are granted. You may not commercially exploit the Services or Forge Reality Content except as expressly permitted by us in writing.

2.4 Software. You may not, and may not permit anyone else to, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of any software comprising the Services, or extract or reuse our viewer technology outside the Services, except to the extent the law prohibits such a restriction. We may update the software from time to time without notice.

3. Content You View

3.1 Definition. “User Content” means all content uploaded, imported, created, or submitted to the Services by users, including 3D model files, textures, project files, annotations, text pins, cover images, names, and descriptions. As between the user who contributed User Content and us, that user retains all ownership rights in their User Content. We do not claim ownership of User Content.

3.2 Right to Monitor, Moderate, or Remove. We are not obligated to review User Content, but we reserve the right to review, refuse, restrict access to, or remove any User Content at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it violates this Agreement or applicable law, or to comply with legal process. Reports of illegal or policy-violating content may be submitted to contact@forgereality.ai; we review such reports and act on and communicate our decisions as required by applicable law (including, where applicable, the EU Digital Services Act).

3.3 Feedback. Feedback, suggestions, and ideas you provide about the Services are voluntary, and we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.

4. Your Obligations

4.1 You agree not to, and not to permit others to: (a) copy, transfer, sublicense, sell, or commercially exploit the Services or any Forge Reality Content except as expressly permitted; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, or circumvent or attempt to circumvent any share session token, rate limit, or other technical or access control; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any project, system, or network, or enumerate, guess, or systematically probe share links or share session tokens; (d) upload or transmit any virus, worm, malware, or other harmful code, or take any action that disrupts, degrades, or places a disproportionate load on the Services or their infrastructure; (e) collect, scrape, mine, or harvest content or data from the Services for republication, resale, or distribution, or for inclusion in datasets used to train, develop, or operate generative artificial-intelligence systems.

4.2 You must not misrepresent your identity, affiliation, role, or authority; must not use the Services to send spam or unsolicited communications; and must comply with all applicable laws, including export-control and sanctions laws of Taiwan and other applicable jurisdictions.

5. Educational Use; No Professional Advice

Content available through the Services, whether created by Forge Reality or by users, including teachers and healthcare professionals, is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical, dental, clinical, legal, or other professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Services are not a medical device and are not intended for use in diagnosis, treatment planning for actual patients, or any clinical decision-making. You are solely responsible for any decision you make in reliance on content accessed through the Services, and professional users remain solely responsible for their own professional obligations and standards of care.

6. AR/MR Safety and Assumption of Risk

You are solely responsible for your physical safety and surroundings while using AR/MR features. Do not use AR/MR features while driving, operating machinery, walking in hazardous areas, or in any situation requiring your full attention. Remain aware of obstacles, people, traffic, and your environment at all times. Some users may experience dizziness, motion sickness, eye strain, or seizures when viewing 3D or AR/MR content; discontinue use immediately if you experience discomfort. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF AR/MR FEATURES, AND FORGE REALITY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR SUCH INJURY OR DAMAGE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF FORGE REALITY, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR ITS AGENTS, OR WHERE SUCH A DISCLAIMER IS NOT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING MANDATORY CONSUMER-SAFETY PROVISIONS).

7.2 Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (a) IN NO EVENT WILL FORGE REALITY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, OR AUTHORIZED RESELLERS (TOGETHER, THE “FORGE REALITY PARTIES”), BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR CONTENT, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. (b) THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE FORGE REALITY PARTIES, TAKEN TOGETHER, FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS, CLAIMANTS, EVENTS, OR THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED NTD 30,000.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

8. Privacy and Permissions

8.1 Privacy Policy; International Transfers. The Services are operated from Taiwan, and your data may be stored and processed in Taiwan and/or in other jurisdictions where our service providers or we operate. By using the Services, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions other than your own, in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law, including Taiwan’s Personal Data Protection Act and any transfer restrictions imposed under its Article 21 and, to the extent it applies, the GDPR, in which case transfers are made subject to appropriate safeguards as described in the Privacy Policy.

8.2 Device Features and Data. To open and display shared content, the Viewer accesses certain device features and processes limited data: (a) your device camera, to scan QR codes, and (in AR/MR mode) to render content in your surroundings, together with your device’s motion and position sensors for AR/MR tracking; (b) photo or file access, where you choose to import an image containing a QR code; (c) a local cache on your device, where downloaded models and project assets are stored temporarily; and (d) network requests to our hosted backend at irix.forgereality.ai to resolve share links and download shared content, which involve standard request metadata such as your IP address. You do not need to create an account to use the Viewer. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is described in the Privacy Policy.

8.3 Breach Notification. In the event of a personal-data breach affecting you, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by law and as described in the Privacy Policy.

8.4 Children’s Data. The Services are intended for educational use. Persons under the minimum age listed for their market (at least 13) may not use the Services. We do not use any personal data of minors for marketing, advertising, or profiling. A parent, guardian, or supervising institution may review and request deletion of a minor’s personal data by contacting contact@forgereality.ai, and we will act on a verified request without undue delay and within any period required by applicable law, subject to legal retention obligations.

9. Intellectual Property Claims

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the notice-and-takedown provisions of the Taiwan Copyright Act (Articles 90-4 et seq.) and, for matters within its scope, the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

9.1 Notices. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, send a notice to contact@forgereality.ai including: (a) your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorized to act for you; (b) identification of the protected work; (c) identification and location, such as a URL or project/share identifier, of the allegedly infringing material; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act, made under penalty of perjury where required by applicable law (such as the DMCA).

9.2 Action. Upon receipt of a compliant notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the user who provided it. We respond to counter-notices and may restore material where the law permits, under the notice-and-counter-notice procedures of the Taiwan Copyright Act and, for matters within its scope, the DMCA.

10. Changes to the Services

10.1 We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Services for legitimate operational, technical, security, or business reasons.

10.2 You may stop using the Services at any time, and you may clear locally cached content using your device’s settings.

11. Third-Party Services and Content

The Services may interoperate with or link to third-party services such as app marketplaces, hosting providers, and external websites. Third-party services are governed by their own terms, and we do not control and are not responsible for them. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of third-party services you choose to use, or from transactions between you and any third party. This Section does not limit our responsibility under Sections 7 and 8 for subcontractors we engage to provide the Services.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

12.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to it or the Services are governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan), without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you additionally retain the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside that apply notwithstanding this choice of law, for example under EU, United Kingdom, Australian, or other consumer protection regimes.

12.2 Jurisdiction. The parties agree that the Taiwan Taipei District Court shall be the court of first instance with jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services. This clause does not deprive a consumer of the right to bring or defend proceedings in the courts of their own residence where mandatory law grants that right, and does not exclude any non-waivable jurisdiction rules, including those of the Taiwan Consumer Protection Act.

12.3 Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. This Section does not apply where such waivers are prohibited by law, including in the European Union.

12.4 Injunctive Relief. This Section does not prevent either party from seeking interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or proprietary business information.

13. Amendment

We may amend this Agreement by posting the revised version on the Services or by in-app notice. For material changes, we will give at least 30 days’ advance notice where practicable. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept an amendment, you must stop using the Services.

14. Miscellaneous

14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Forge Reality regarding the Services and supersedes any prior agreements on that subject. In case of conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, this Agreement prevails for the matters it covers.

14.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and reformed to reflect the parties’ intent, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

14.3 No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it, and a waiver of one breach is not a waiver of any other.

14.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the assignee assumes our obligations under it.

14.5 Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, earthquakes, typhoons, epidemics, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental action, power or telecommunications failures, or failures of third-party hosting or infrastructure providers to the extent caused by such events. This Section does not limit our responsibility for subcontractors under Sections 7, 8, and 11 except to the extent performance is actually prevented by such an event, and does not limit any obligation under mandatory law.

14.6 Electronic Communications. You consent to receive notices and communications from us electronically (through the Services or, where you provide an address, by email), and such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

14.7 Language. This Agreement is made in English. If we provide a translation of this Agreement, the translation is for convenience only and the English version prevails, except where the law of the user’s jurisdiction mandates otherwise.

14.8 Export Compliance. You may not use the Services in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not located in, or a resident or national of, any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions applicable to us, nor listed on any applicable restricted-party list.

14.9 Contact. Questions about this Agreement may be directed to contact@forgereality.ai or to Forge Reality CO., LTD., Taipei, Taiwan (R.O.C.).

15. Survival

If your access to or use of the Services ends, or this Agreement otherwise terminates or expires, the following survive: Sections 2.2 (ownership), 3 (as to content you accessed), 4 (your obligations), 5, 6, 7, 8 (as to data retained), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and this Section 15.
