Detailed License Terms

1. Standard Rules & Application

All licenses are non-exclusive, non-transferable, and grant rights to build end products according to the selected tier. An "End Product" is a customized final project built using the item (e.g. a website, web app, or client portal).

2. Attribution & Copyright

Free templates may require retaining the footer copyright or attribution link unless stated otherwise. Regular and Extended licenses allow complete removal of all ECKThemes branding and copyright notices from the final site.

3. Single Application vs. Multi-use

Regular and Extended licenses cover a single End Product. If you are building multiple distinct client websites using the theme, a separate license must be acquired for each site.

4. Restrictions & Redistribution

Under no license tier are you allowed to re-distribute, sub-license, resell, or share the original or modified source files of ECKThemes products as standalone assets, theme packs, or within theme generator / website builder software.
