AcornKit Commercial License Agreement

By purchasing, downloading, accessing, cloning, or otherwise using the Product, you (“Licensee”, “you”) agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Product, and request a refund within the period in Section 9.

1. Definitions

• “Your Application” — a software application that you develop and that you own or control, into which the Product (or derivatives of it) is incorporated.
• “Source” — the human-readable source code, templates, scripts, and documentation comprising the Product.
• “Licensed Developer” — for a single-seat license, one (1) individual developer; for an entity license, the developers employed by or contracting for the purchasing entity, up to the seat count purchased.
• “License Key” / “Watermark” — the unique identifier(s) we embed in, or associate with, your copy of the Product to identify you as the Licensee.
• “Reseller” — the third-party Merchant of Record through which the Product is sold (see Section 9A).

2. License grant

Subject to your payment and ongoing compliance, Licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to:

• (a) use, copy, and modify the Source internally for the purpose of developing Your Applications;
• (b) incorporate the Product and your modifications into Your Applications in compiled / binary form; and
• (c) distribute Your Applications (including via the Apple App Store) to your end users, in compiled form only.

There is no limit on the number of Your Applications you may build under a single seat, unless a separate “single application” SKU was purchased.

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

• (a) redistribute, resell, sublicense, lease, rent, lend, or otherwise make available the Source (in whole or in part, modified or not) to any third party;
• (b) publish, post, upload, or host the Source in any public or shared repository, package registry, file host, dataset, or AI/LLM training corpus (including public GitHub/GitLab repos, npm/SPM registries, Gists, or forums);
• (c) use the Product to create, or contribute to, a product that is substantially a competing starter kit, boilerplate, template, or component library offered to third parties;
• (d) remove, obscure, alter, or circumvent any License Key, Watermark, copyright notice, or attribution embedded in the Product;
• (e) share your repository access, credentials, or download with anyone who is not a Licensed Developer under your seat;
• (f) transfer or assign this license to another party without our prior written consent (e.g. on sale of your business, contact us).

For clarity: shipping compiled Applications that merely contain Product code to your end users is permitted (Section 2). Exposing the Source to third parties is not.

4. Ownership

The Product is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Product and all intellectual property therein. You own the original code you write and Your Applications, subject to our continuing rights in the Product itself. Open-source dependencies included in the Product remain governed by their own licenses (listed in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md).

5. License Key, Watermark, and traceability

You acknowledge that each copy of the Product is uniquely identified to you via a License Key and/or embedded Watermark. You agree not to remove or alter these. If Source identifiable as your copy is found distributed in violation of Section 3, that constitutes prima facie evidence of breach by you, and you authorize us to pursue takedowns (including DMCA notices) and the remedies in Section 8.

6. Updates and support

• Updates: We may provide updates and improvements via the private repository for as long as we maintain the Product (“lifetime updates” is a goodwill commitment, not a perpetual contractual guarantee; we may discontinue the Product with notice).
• Support: provided per the tier you purchased. The Pro tier ($149) includes priority email support and community access; the standard tier ($99) includes community/email support on a best-effort basis.

7. Third-party services

The Product integrates third-party services (e.g. Apple StoreKit, RevenueCat, Supabase, PostHog, OpenAI, Anthropic). You are solely responsible for your own accounts, API keys, costs, and compliance with those providers’ terms. We are not responsible for third-party service availability, changes, or charges.

8. Termination

This license terminates automatically if you breach any term, including any restriction in Section 3. On termination you must cease using the Product and destroy all copies of the Source in your possession (Applications already shipped in compiled form may continue to operate). Termination does not entitle you to a refund (except as required by Sections 9/9A or applicable law) and does not limit our other remedies (including injunctive relief and damages) for breach, particularly unauthorized redistribution.

9. Refunds

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase, provided you have not redistributed, published, or otherwise breached the Source restrictions in Section 3. To request a refund, email hello@theacornkit.com (refunds are processed by the Reseller; see Section 9A). Statutory consumer rights, where applicable, are unaffected and are described in Section 9A.

9A. Merchant of Record; EU/UK and other consumer rights

• Seller of record. The Product is sold through Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record (Reseller). The Reseller is the seller for the transaction and is responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST. Your purchase is also subject to the Reseller’s terms and refund handling; payment and refund mechanics are executed by the Reseller.
• EU/UK consumers — right of withdrawal. If you purchase as a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. This right cannot be waived. Note, however, that for digital content supplied immediately you may be asked at checkout to expressly consent to immediate access and to acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal once supply has begun, as permitted by EU Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Where you have not given that consent, or where the law otherwise preserves your right, your 14-day withdrawal right applies in full and overrides any narrower term in this Agreement.
• Other mandatory consumer protections. Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes any right or remedy you have under mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence to the extent it cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Where such law conflicts with a term here, that law prevails for you as a consumer.

10. Warranty disclaimer

THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT IS ERROR-FREE OR THAT YOUR APPLICATIONS WILL BE APPROVED BY ANY APP STORE. This disclaimer does not affect mandatory consumer warranties that cannot be excluded under applicable law (see Section 9A).

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (e.g. for fraud, or mandatory consumer-law liability under Section 9A).

12. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of Your Applications or your breach of this Agreement, including your misuse or redistribution of the Source.

13. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Thailand, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Thailand have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The foregoing is subject to (a) any mandatory consumer-protection law and venue rights of your country of residence that cannot be excluded (see Section 9A), and (b) the terms of the Reseller (Merchant of Record) governing the payment transaction.

14. Entire agreement; changes

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Product and supersedes prior understandings. We may update this Agreement for future purchases; the version you accepted at purchase governs your copy.
