One licence is the right to run one live site. The full terms are in the template licence; this page is the shape of them.
What one licence lets you do#
Buying the source means changing the source.
- Run one live site with it.
- Change anything - the words, the images, the colours, the layout, the code.
- Hire anyone to change it for you.
- Keep it forever. The licence does not expire and there is nothing to renew.
What it does not let you do#
Two limits, and they are the only two that matter.
- You cannot resell it, as a template, a theme or a starter.
- One licence is one live site. Two sites need two licences.
It is non-exclusive, on purpose#
This is the trade you make for the price.
- Another business can buy the same template, including one in your trade in your town.
- We do not police who buys what, and we will not tell you who else did.
- If you want a design nobody else can buy, that is a custom build.
Buying more than one licence#
Licence count is a number you choose at checkout.
- A licence is the right to run one site, so several sites is one purchase with a count on it.
- The count is set on the template's own page, before you reach the checkout.
- They do not have to be used at once. An unused licence does not expire.
What travels with the files#
The download carries its own paperwork.
- Licence records for the images and fonts are included, so you can see what each asset is cleared for.
- Those records are a reference, not a sublicence. A stock asset stays under its own supplier's terms.
