3. Eligibility and User Account Responsibilities
To ensure that all commercial transactions and software licensing agreements are legally enforceable, users must meet specific eligibility criteria. By creating an account or initiating a transaction, you represent that you possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and meet the minimum age requirements of your jurisdiction.
The security of user accounts is a shared responsibility. Users are mandated to maintain the strict confidentiality of their credentials. Online Developer shall consider all activities performed under a user’s account as authorized by said user. Any suspected security breach or unauthorized access must be reported to our technical team immediately.
4. Comprehensive Scope of Services
Online Developer offers specialized technical expertise within the WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems. Our services are strategically categorized to support the full lifecycle of a digital enterprise:
- Website Development: The provision of custom-coded web applications and bespoke software development tailored to specific enterprise needs.
- WordPress Plugin Subscriptions: Specialized software solutions, including the Shopflix WooCommerce Integration, designed to facilitate marketplace connectivity.
- Web Hosting Subscriptions: Managed infrastructure services providing high-availability environments for digital projects.
5. WordPress Plugins and EULA Integration
The legal governance of our software products is structured hierarchically. These Terms of Service serve as the master agreement, while the End User License Agreement (EULA) Version 1.0 (August 2026) specifically governs the installation, activation, and usage of our software. Purchasing or activating any plugin (including the Shopflix WooCommerce Integration) binds the user to the EULA in its entirety.
GPL Compliance and Proprietary Protection: Online Developer operates in compliance with the GNU General Public License (GPL). While derivative code interacting with WordPress/WooCommerce is governed by the GPL, specific proprietary components are strictly excluded. These include license management systems, server-side proxies, and non-GPL business logic, which remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Licensor and are governed strictly by the EULA.
6. Explicit Definition of the ‘Lifetime License’
To mitigate the legal risks associated with “lifetime” marketing and to align user expectations with technical reality, Online Developer defines a “Lifetime License” as the commercial and operational lifespan of the product. This is not a reference to the biological life of the purchaser.
- Operational Span: The license remains valid only for as long as the product is actively maintained and commercially supported by Online Developer.
- End-of-Life (EOL): If a product version is retired or declared EOL due to technological obsolescence or shifts in the WordPress ecosystem, the license terminates automatically without refund.
- Technical Dependency: Continued validity is strictly dependent on the License Key validation mechanism, which is an integral part of the Software. Any attempt to bypass this system constitutes a material breach and a violation of law regarding unauthorized access to computer systems.
- Compatibility Limits: A “Lifetime” license does not guarantee compatibility with future third-party platform changes, such as shifts in the Shopflix API, which are beyond the Licensor’s control.
- Non-Transferability: Licenses are tied to the Permitted Site and License Key; they may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or transferred to third parties.
7. Financial Terms, Billing, and Payments
The fiscal relationship between Online Developer and its clients is managed through secure, industry-standard infrastructure.
- Payment Processing: All financial transactions are secured through Stripe.
- Taxation: VAT (143366812) is applied to transactions as required by Greek law. Prices displayed at checkout will indicate VAT applicability based on the Licensee’s geographic location.
- Invoicing: Professional tax invoices are issued for all transactions to facilitate corporate accounting and compliance.
8. Subscription Management, Renewals, and Cancellations
Our subscription-based services operate on a model designed for uninterrupted continuity.
- Automatic Renewals: Subscriptions renew automatically at the conclusion of each billing cycle unless the user initiates a cancellation.
- Cancellation: Users may terminate recurring billing at any time via their account dashboard. Termination prevents future charges but does not entitle the user to a refund for the current period.
- Refund Constraints and Statutory Waivers:
- Consumers: Pursuant to Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU, users provide express consent and acknowledgment that the right of withdrawal is lost upon commencement of performance (i.e., when the software is downloaded or the license key is accessed).
- Business Users: As per EULA Article 6, all purchases by Business Users are final and non-refundable, subject only to the 30-day limited warranty.
9. Hosting Infrastructure and Service Specifics
Online Developer utilizes a geographically optimized infrastructure to ensure high performance and data redundancy:
- Primary Hosting: Located in the Netherlands.
- Backups: Redundant data storage is maintained in Lithuania.
Hosting is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis, subject to the operational limits of third-party data center providers.
10. Intellectual Property Rights
Online Developer (Licensor) retains absolute and exclusive ownership of all proprietary code, documentation, and trademarks. The purchase of a license confers a limited right of use, not a transfer of ownership. Users are strictly prohibited from reverse-engineering proprietary components or utilizing the software to develop competing products.
11. Limitation of Liability and Warranty Disclaimer
The allocation of risk is a fundamental component of this agreement:
- Limited Warranty: We provide a 30-day limited warranty that the software will perform materially as documented.
- General Disclaimer: THE SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
- Liability Cap: The total aggregate liability of Online Developer for any claim, regardless of form, shall not exceed the total fees paid by the user in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
12. Termination, Force Majeure, and Dispute Resolution
- Termination: Online Developer reserves the right to terminate services immediately for breach of these Terms, license circumvention, or user insolvency.
- Force Majeure: Online Developer shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to cyberattacks, acts of God, pandemic, or the failure of third-party infrastructure.
- Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hellenic Republic (Greece).
- Jurisdiction: Any legal disputes shall be settled exclusively in the competent courts of Athens, Greece.
- Consumer ODR: EU Consumers may access the Online Dispute Resolution platform at: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
13. Modifications and Contact Information
Online Developer reserves the right to amend these Terms to reflect evolving legal and technical landscapes. Continued use of services after such amendments constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
