General

OpenThinking LLC retains all Intellectual Property Rights and all other proprietary rights of the theme, app, plugin and all other products.

Individual Theme Purchase

  1. The Purchaser of an individual theme is granted a non-exclusive worldwide license, allowing the Purchaser, or a single client of the Purchaser, to create, with this theme, a single End Product.
  2. The Purchaser of an individual theme is licensed to install the purchased theme only once on one (1) domain.
  3. The Purchaser of an individual theme is not entitled to distribute, duplicate and make available to anyone, resell in its original form, or modify for the purposes of reselling the purchased theme.

Themes are licensed to use for a single store only, whether the themes are published or not.

You are not permitted to transfer or sell a Theme to any other person’s store on Shopify or elsewhere.

You may modify the Theme to suit your store. Shopify may add or modify the footer that refers to Shopify at its discretion. The intellectual property rights of the Theme remain the property of OpenThinking.

You may not share, resell, barter, trade or give away OpenThinking code in whole or part, with or without modification to any store other than the one it was originally licensed to. If OpenThinking discovers unauthorized distribution of its intellectual property, the original license may be voided without refund and all stores using the original code or unauthorized copies must cease using them immediately.

Theme “styles” or “presets” are considered to be part of a theme. Using one theme style or preset on one store and another style or preset on another store without paying a separate licensing fee is a violation of the licensing terms and conditions.

Reselling OpenThinking themes, with or without modification, is strictly prohibited, whether or not you are the original purchaser or not. OpenThinking reserves the right to investigate and report unauthorized sales to third-party sales platforms using any and all information about the listing, transactions, existing customers, and databases and information publicly available on the web.

When such sales are discovered, the seller is responsible for notifying all of the purchasers of the unauthorized copies, issuing an automatic full refund, and advising the purchasers that the licenses are voided and use of the unlicensed themes may result in their store being shut down or other serious legal repercussions.

OpenThinking reserves the right to invoice sellers of unauthorized copies of themes at full list price, which is due upon demand.

OpenThinking reserves the right to cancel any license, at its sole and final discretion, and without refund.

Feedback Legal Notice

By providing feedback, you grant OpenThinking an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right to exploit the feedback in any manner and for any purpose. This includes, but is not limited to, the right to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, sublicense, and create derivative works based on the feedback. You waive any and all moral rights in the feedback and agree not to assert any claims against OpenThinking arising from the use of the feedback. You acknowledge that OpenThinking is not obliged to use or incorporate your feedback into any of its products or services.
