IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please read these Terms of Service carefully before purchasing, downloading, or using any software, plugins, themes, or services provided by CodeClove Technologies. By accessing our website, creating an account, or purchasing a license, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Introduction & Company Information
These Terms of Service (“Terms”, “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Customer”, “Licensee”, “you”) and CodeClove Technologies (“CodeClove”, “we”, “us”, “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the website at https://codeclove.com (and affiliated domains), our digital software products (including WordPress plugins and themes), software updates, technical support services, and custom engineering engagements.
2. Open Source Licensing & The GNU General Public License (GPL)
All PHP source code in CodeClove WordPress plugins and themes is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later (GPL v2+). You are free to use, modify, and redistribute the underlying PHP code in accordance with the GPL.
Non-PHP assets, including proprietary design elements, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, images, branding assets, and documentation, are protected under international copyright law and may be licensed separately unless explicitly declared under the GPL.
3. License Keys & Service Token Terms
When you purchase a commercial software package from CodeClove, you are issued a unique, non-transferable Commercial License Key. In our commercial model:
- Service Access: The license key acts as a digital service token that grants access to one-click automatic software updates, security patches, new feature releases, and technical support services.
- Tier Restrictions: A Single-Site License authorizes activation on one (1) production website domain; a 5-Site License authorizes up to five (5) production domains; an Agency/Unlimited License authorizes activation on unlimited domains owned by you or your direct development clients.
- Staging & Localhost Exemption: Development, staging, and local environments (including
localhost,*.test,*.local,staging.*, anddev.*) do not count toward your active production license limit. - Non-Transferability: License keys are issued exclusively to the purchasing individual or legal entity. Reselling, sub-licensing, sharing, or publicly distributing license keys is strictly prohibited and results in immediate termination of updates and support without refund.
4. Payments, Pricing & Billing
All prices listed on CodeClove are denominated in United States Dollars ($ USD) unless otherwise noted. Payments are processed securely via verified PCI-compliant third-party gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay). CodeClove never stores, handles, or transmits raw credit card numbers.
- Subscriptions & Auto-Renewal: Commercial licenses are sold on an annual subscription basis. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date.
- Renewal Price Guarantee: Grandfathered renewal pricing applies as long as your subscription remains continuously active without lapse or cancellation.
- Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription renewal at any time with a single click from your Customer Account Portal. Upon cancellation, your license remains active through the end of the paid billing cycle.
5. 14-Day Refund Policy & Digital Goods Terms
Our complete refund terms are governed by our dedicated 14-Day Refund Policy. In summary, we provide a 14-day technical satisfaction guarantee for software purchases if the product is verified to be non-functional on your environment and our support engineering team is unable to resolve the issue.
EU Statutory Cooling-Off Waiver: In accordance with Article 16(m) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and equivalent international digital consumer laws, you expressly acknowledge and consent that the supply of digital software content begins immediately upon purchase and download, and you acknowledge that you waive your 14-day statutory right of withdrawal in exchange for CodeClove’s voluntary 14-day technical guarantee.
6. Chargebacks & Fraudulent Payment Disputes
If you experience any billing issue or technical problem, you agree to contact CodeClove Support at [email protected] prior to initiating a dispute or chargeback with your bank or payment provider.
Initiating a fraudulent, unjustified, or bad-faith chargeback without attempting resolution constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. CodeClove reserves the right to immediately deactivate all associated license keys, terminate account access, report fraudulent chargebacks to anti-fraud networks, and recover dispute administrative fees ($25 USD per incident).
