The application is made available to you under the following terms and conditions.

This License governs use of the accompanying Software, and your use of the Software constitutes acceptance of this license. “Software” includes, without limitation: all PHP / Java / Scala files, all resource files (CSS, JPEGs, Javascript, SQL, database/XML files, XML schema files, etc.), all source code, and all documentation. “Software” may include a number of third party scripts and files and are subject to their own licensing agreements. Product names, logos, brands, and other trademarks featured or referred to within the “Software” are the property of their respective trademark holders. These trademark holders are not affiliated with Webfabric or Socialshopservice.com, our products, or our website.

You may use this Software for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, subject to the restrictions in this license and in accordance with the law (including by-laws) in the country in which it is operated.
YOU ARE GIVEN TWO LICENSES TO INSTALL THE “SOFTWARE”. ONE FOR YOUR MAIN DOMAIN AND ONE FOR LOCALHOST (development purposes). Multiple instances of the “Software” cannot be operated on multiple domains under a single license. Additional licenses must be purchased for every domain you wish to install the software on. You are permitted to install multiple instances of the “Software” on a single domain, for example on a localhost for testing and development purposes. Your license to lawfully use the “Software” will be terminated if evidence is found that the “Software” is being run on multiple domains.

YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE TO ANY OTHER PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This Software is made available exclusively to the purchasing party (henceforth known as the CLIENT), without the right to provide or demonstrate the Software for any third party. Your rights are personal, and are under no circumstances assignable, licensable, or otherwise transferable unless prior agreement is made with the COMPANY.

YOU MAY MODIFY THIS SOFTWARE FOR ANY PURPOSE, except that you may NOT distribute the Software to any other person in original or modified form. You may not  distribute this Software or any derivative works in any form for commercial purposes, including (without limitation) running business operations, licensing, leasing, or selling the Software, or distributing the Software for use with commercial products.

SOFTWARE CUSTOMIZATION PERFORMED BY CLIENT OR THIRD PARTY WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR PAID TECHNICAL SUPPORT. The technical support desk is provided to fix problems and answer questions originating in and pertaining to the core files of the SOFTWARE. Requests for advice on how to modify the files to perform a new or different function compared to the default features will be treated as consultation requests and will be billed according to COMPANY standard hourly rate.

FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY FOR A PERIOD OF ONE TO THREE MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE (depending upon the product purchased). You have the right to submit an unlimited number of technical support tickets related to issues or questions to the core files or default features for three months from the date of your purchase. Support is restricted to one of your licenses, either the live site license or a development license. The support does NOT apply if CLIENT has changed the core files and or default features themselves.
In the rare case that COMPANY has not fixed technical support issues CLIENT has submitted during the three month support duration and the support duration expires COMPANY agrees to continue assigning resources to these tickets until the issues are resolved. CLIENT may not add new issues to open tickets that have passed the support duration period, any new issues reported will be ignored unless a support extension has been purchased.

COMPANY will restrict posting of new support tickets by up to 48 hours before support duration expires.
COMPANY AGREES TO RESPOND TO ALL TICKETS WITHIN 48 HOURS EXCLUDING WEEKENDS AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS. The support desk is staffed 8 hours per day Monday to Friday and COMPANY agrees to respond to all submitted tickets within a 48 hour timeframe EXCEPT when the support technician notes that the issue will take longer to fix or the product has just been released. COMPANY agrees to inform CLIENT in advance of public holiday notices through COMPANIES website or support system, or e-mail and or other ways.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE REGULAR TECHNICAL SUPPORT. Due to the high number of enquiries following a product launch COMPANY will not accept any technical support tickets posted to the support desk. CLIENT is asked to submit any issues to the bug tracker so that the core developers can make the fixes and everyone can get access to the updated SOFTWARE. The 48 hour turnaround time is not applicable for bug reports. Regular technical support will begin one month after the product has launched.
UPGRADES PROVIDED FOR SOFTWARE. As the software is updated to patch errors, bugs, security flaws or to add new features CLIENT will have free, unrestricted access to the SOFTWARE updates for the duration as stated in each of the product licenses.

COMPANY provides patch files “as is” which allows CLIENT to perform the upgrade. COMPANY will offer to perform the upgrade for a fixed price however if CLIENT has made any customizations that they wish to keep COMPANY will quote a price accordingly. APPLYING PATCH FILES MAY OVERWRITE CUSTOMIZATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE EXISTING FILES AND COMPANY DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF DATA WHEN CLIENT PERFORMS THE UPGRADE.

REFUND POLICY. Company’s products are intangible goods that are digitally delivered. We do not refund. We believe we are giving all our customers all necessary live product review / demo tooling and testing possibilities, before they decide to actually buy the product. Furthermore we are available for any pre-sales questions.
