License terms

A plain-language guide to choosing between a regular license and an extended license.

Regular license

Best for projects where end users are not charged to access the final website.

You can

Build one free-to-use website or app
Customize the product for yourself or a client
Use the result for a client project with a one-time handoff

You cannot

Charge users for access to the final product
Run paid subscriptions, memberships, or paid access features
Resell the source code or included modules

Extended license

Best for commercial platforms where customers pay to access or use the final website.

You can

Build one paid-access website or app
Charge users through subscriptions, fees, credits, or paid content
Customize the product for yourself or a client

You cannot

Use the license for multiple separate products
Redistribute the source code as a standalone item
Sell product modules, assets, or code as reusable software

Rules that apply to both

Each license covers one end product for you or one client.
You may modify the code and combine it with other software for that end product.
You may transfer the finished end product to a client when the license was purchased for that client.
You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or package the source code as a competing product.
