License Terms

This section outlines the terms and conditions under which you are granted a license to use the Essential Grid plugin and other associated products (“Products”). By purchasing and/or using any of our Products, you agree to abide by these License Terms.

1. Introduction

This License Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and ThemePunch OHG, the author of Essential Grid (“the Product”). This Agreement governs your use of the Product and any associated services.

2. Definitions

  • Product: Refers to Essential Grid, including any related materials that may be downloaded separately.
  • Premium Features: The parts of the Product that need a paid license: the add-ons marked “Premium” in the plugin and on essential-grid.com/add-ons/ (currently ESG Commerce, ESG Facets, Portfolio, Related Posts and Team), the premium templates and presets of the template library, and ticket support.
  • End Product: The final product that incorporates our Product.
  • Single Website: Refers to one unique domain name (e.g., “example.com”) registered on the internet. Subdomains (e.g., “blog.example.com”) and individual sites within a WordPress Multisite environment are considered separate and distinct sites for the purpose of this license. Each counts as a Single Website of its own.
  • First Party: ThemePunch OHG, the owner and developer of the Product.
  • Free: No fee is paid by the end user to access the End Product.
  • Sell or Sold: Distribution for a fee or charge.

3. Grant of License

You are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the Product under the following terms:

  • Essential Grid 4 and all of its updates are provided free of charge and may be used to create any number of End Products for yourself or a client.
  • Upon purchase, a license covers the Premium Features on as many Single Websites as its plan includes: Starter 1, Enthusiast 3, Scale up to 250.
  • Scale plans include a fair-use ramp: in the first months after purchase the number of new license keys grows step by step up to the plan’s number of Single Websites; license keys and activations already made keep working.
  • Licenses bought before Essential Grid 4 keep the rights granted for Essential Grid 3; premium parts already installed on a site registered under Essential Grid 3 keep working on Essential Grid 4.

4. Permitted Uses

You may:

  • Modify or manipulate the Product.
  • Combine the Product with other works to create an End Product.
  • Purchase the Product on behalf of a client.

5. Prohibited Uses

You may not:

  • Use the Premium Features on more Single Websites than your license covers.
  • Re-distribute the Product as stock or as a standalone item.
  • Use the Product in “on demand” or “made to order” applications without a separate license.
  • Extract components of the Product to use separately from the End Product.

6. Third-Party Components

Some components of the Product may be governed by third-party or open-source licenses. Refer to the Product’s documentation for details.

7. Themes & Extended Licenses

You may bundle the Product within a theme created for resale after purchasing a license of your own, provided you do not modify the core Product. End users of your theme get Essential Grid 4 and its updates free, but no license key; ticket support and the Premium Features need their own license. Envato Extended licenses count as CodeCanyon licenses: on Essential Grid 4 they include no new Premium Features.

8. Compliance with Laws

You must use the Product in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

9. Termination

This license can be terminated for breach of terms. Severe violations may result in automatic termination without notice.

10. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Statutory warranty rights of consumers and liability for intent, gross negligence and injury to life, body or health remain unaffected.

11. Amendments

We may amend or update these License Terms; changes apply to new purchases and renewals.
