TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated May 222024

We’re Pixel & Tonic. We also go by “P&T” or the more familiar “we,” “us” or “our.” We are the team behind Craft CMS, Craft Cloud, as well as a handful for first-party Craft CMS plugins. Additionally, we host and operate the Craft CMS Plugin Store, Craft Console and this website (collectively, the “Site”). In these Terms, all products, services, and the Site are collectively referred to as our “Services”. These Terms are very important. Please read them in full. We tried to make these Terms Services as digestible as possible by breaking them down into parts:

Part I: Terms Acceptance establishes these Terms of Service as a contract between you and Pixel & Tonic.

Part II: Our Services sets out the terms and conditions specific to each of our Services. These terms and conditions apply if and to the extent that you use one or more of our Services.

Part III: General Terms applies to your use of any and all of our Services.

You can also review The Craft Top 10 for a quick reference, though you are still responsible for complying with these Terms in their entirety. If you have any questions about these Terms or the Services, please contact us at legal@craftcms.com.

2.3.3 Support and Availability #

Craft Pro comes with Technical Developer to Developer Support. We do not provide any support for Third-Party Services. If the third-party developer of a plugin offers support, this is between you and the developer.

2.4 Craft Plugin Store #

This Section, 2.4 applies to your use of our Development Features and distribution of your plugin on the Craft Plugin Store. We may remove your plugin from the Plugin Store or suspend promotion of the plugin if you violate any of these Terms.

2.4.1 Developer Features #

Some of our Services allow you to enable developer features that allow you to freely distribute or sell your plugins in the Plugin Store (“Developer Features”). The following terms apply to you, the developer, if you use the Developer Features:

  • You promise that your plugin does not infringe or violate any third party’s rights, including intellectual property or publicity/privacy rights.

  • The functionality your plugin provides must comply with the Site License, Craft Solo License, or other license(s) granted to you for your use of the Services (in each case, your “Craft CMS License”).

  • Your plugin must use the MIT License or the Craft CMS License. We do not support any other license types.

  • Your plugin must live in a public GitHub repo.

  • Your plugin may not require non-stable Composer dependencies.

  • Your plugin must not transmit any data back to you as the vendor without express permission from the website owner.

  • Your plugins will use the Craftnet licensing validation system. This means that:

    • Your plugins will be available for free trial use in environments that appear to be for development, testing, or staging.

    • All licenses are perpetual for the tier that was purchased.

    • You must set an optional annual Renewal Price for a licensee’s continued access to updates. Please note, this is not a “subscription.” Licensees are not required to pay a plugin’s annual renewal fee unless they wish to update the plugin or upgrade the plugin to a new edition.

    • Craft CMS isn’t liable if our license validation fails; our goal is to enable customers to easily support ongoing development costs that help keep plugins stable, current, and forward-thinking. We also try to stop and prevent bootlegging activity.

  • You agree that all personal data acquired through the Plugin Store or through plugin support will adhere to our Privacy Statement.

  • Craft CMS does not require exclusivity to your plugin, but you may not charge more for your plugins in the Plugin Store than other places where your plugin is distributed.

  • Your plugin handle must not be so generically named that it could be confused for a core service (forms, components, etc.). Craft CMS reserves the right to determine whether a name is overly generic, at our sole discretion.

  • You may not use our Trademarks in the name of your plugin or otherwise name your plugin in a way that implies a formal partnership with Craft CMS. This extends to all promotional and educational materials as well. Example, “Craft SEO” is not an acceptable plugin name. “AcmeSEO, for Craft” is acceptable. This is better for all involved as it keeps your intellectual property separate from ours. These rules also apply to your promotional language, website, URLs, and educational material related to your plugin. Some exceptions may apply, for example GitHub and other developer tools with strict naming conventions.

  • “Bait & switch” plugins are prohibited. Free plugins must always offer a free tier. Paid and free versions are acceptable (that’s what we do), but you may not switch a currently free plugin to “paid only” plugin so that production installations are impacted. You may end-of-life a free plugin and offer a commercial alternative. You can submit a commercial version of the free edition as a separate plugin.

2.4.2 Plugin Distribution #

You agree to distribute your plugins on the Craft Plugin Store as follows:

  • Craft CMS will deduct a 20% commission on the retail price of commercial plugins. Craft CMS covers the transactional cost of the purchase (i.e., Stripe fees) in its 20% commission. Taxes are added to the retail price of the plugin. Example: Acme Tasks is $10. Tax is 10%. The customer pays $11 for the plugin. $1 goes toward taxes, $8 goes to you, $2 goes to Craft CMS, and Craft CMS pays any transactional costs from that $2.

  • You agree to provide a 30-day refund policy on all purchases. Here is how it works: Craft CMS will refund customers and apply a negative credit to your Craft Console account for up to -$100 USD. Refunds in excess of $100 USD will be invoiced to you with a 30-day payment term.

  • You must have a Stripe account linked to your Craft Console to receive payments. Your use of Stripe services may be subject to additional terms and conditions as determined by Stripe.

  • We do our best to pay out revenue within one business day to plugin developers selling plugins in the Plugin Store. However, payouts can take up to 45 days. Payouts from plugin sales will apply to any negative balance first.

  • Invoices that are 15 days past due will result in immediate Plugin Store suspension.

  • You may remove your plugin from the Plugin Store at any time. Please note that removing the plugin does not delete the plugin from existing installations. It simply stops the plugin from being distributed in the Plugin Store.

2.4.3 Craft Plugin Store #

You hereby grant Craft CMS all rights necessary to distribute your plugin, including without limitation the right to use your logo, copy, customer testimonials, or similar content and materials for promotional purposes and the right to distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform your plugin, solely in connection with making your plugin available via the Plugin Store. You do not grant Craft CMS ownership rights to your plugin of any kind. Craft CMS, in our sole discretion, may remove any plugin from the Plugin Store for any reason without notice. This policy is critical to allow us to quickly respond to any security issues, which may mean removing a plugin without notice.

2.5 The Site #

You have a revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access, use, display, download, and print in hardcopy format the images, illustrations, designs, photographs, video clips, text, graphics, icons, designs, software code, written information and screens appearing on the Site or other Services, and other materials, as well as names, logos, taglines, trade dress, and other trademarks displayed on the Site (“Site Contents”) for the purposes of using the Site as an internal or personal business resource. You may not commercialize, sublicense, or resell the Site or any Site Contents without an express license grant from Craft CMS. You do not have permission to copy, reproduce, make derivative works from, distribute, republish, download, display, perform, post electronically or mechanically, transmit, record, or mirror any of the Site Contents without the prior written permission of Craft CMS. Nothing in these Terms is intended to transfer to you any rights to the Contents or grant you any license to the Site Contents, except as specifically set forth in these Terms or the applicable license terms pertaining to certain Site features. Only a duly authorized officer of Craft CMS may grant permission or a license to use any of the Site Contents; any attempted grant or similar promise by anyone other than a duly authorized agent of Craft CMS is invalid.

PART III: GENERAL TERMS #

The General Terms in Part III of these Terms of Service apply to your use of any of the Services along with all provisions of Part I as well as the terms and conditions set forth in Part II that are applicable to the Services to which you use and/or subscribe.

3.1 Responsibility for Your End Users #

If you grant access to the Services associated with your Customer registration to one or more End Users, you agree to: (a) be solely responsible for compliance with these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy (including the Craft CMS Code of Conduct) by all of your End Users; (b) prior to such End User accessing the Services, ensure that each End User agrees to our Acceptable Use Policy and our Privacy Statement and consents to the collection and processing of the End User’s Personal Data via the Services; (c) be responsible for the accuracy and lawful collection and use of any data, including Personal Data, of End Users or other individuals, that is provided to Craft CMS or input to the Services by you or your End User; (d) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify Craft CMS promptly of any unauthorized access or use; and (e) use, and ensure that your End Users use, the Services only in accordance with these Terms, your Agreement, and all applicable laws. Any use of the Services in violation of the foregoing by you or your End Users that, in our sole judgment, threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Services may result in immediate suspension of access to the Services. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for your End User’s use of the Services pursuant to and in compliance with the License granted to you under these Terms.

3.2 Fees and Payment #

3.2.1 Fees #

Some of the Services are available for free, while others are available in exchange for a fee. See our Pricing for details. You agree to pay all fees associated with the paid Services you purchase or to which you subscribe and any changes you make to your selections from time to time, as well as any and all applicable sales and use taxes for the purchase of your subscription based on the address that you provide when you register as a Customer. All fees are quoted in United States dollars.

3.2.2 Payment Method #

To use paid Services, you must maintain a valid payment method (credit or debit) associated with your account. You authorize Craft CMS to charge your payment method every term (annual or monthly) for the fees due hereunder, along with any sales and use taxes and any late fees or interest (as described below). You represent and warrant that the payment information you provide to us is correct and accurate and you are using a payment method that you are legally authorized to use for this purpose. You agree that you are solely liable for any payment or credit card fraud, abuse, or unauthorized use by you or others. Except for downgrades and cancellations by you in the manner permitted herein, payments are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

3.2.3 Nonpayment #

If you do not pay on time or if we cannot charge the payment method you have on file for any reason, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your access to the Services. In addition, if any payment is not received within 30 days after the due date, then we may charge a late fee of $10, and we may assess interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (18% per year), or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from 30 days after the due date until the date paid. If your unpaid fees are referred to an attorney or collections agency, you shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees or collections agency fees. Returning Customers must pay any unpaid balance, including any late fees, before receiving Services. For clarity, credits, vouchers, coupons, and promotions may not be used to receive Services by returning Customers until unpaid balances, including late fees, are paid.

3.2.4 Free Trials #

You can try some Services before buying the paid version; no credit card is required. For example, you can try Craft or any plugin in our Plugin Store for free in developer and staging environments and pay only when the website is ready to go live. This greatly reduces risks to you and to us. If you upgrade to paid Services, your fee is due immediately when you upgrade your license or when your website goes into production, whichever happens first. Invoices will be delivered to the email address associated with your account. It is your responsibility to maintain a valid and up-to-date email address on your account. If you don’t pay on time, we reserve the right to revoke your license or access to any Services. Payout terms applicable to developers are described in Section 2.4.2.

3.2.5 Refunds #

Craft CMS has a 30-day refund policy for Craft licenses and plugin licenses sold through the Plugin Store. Please email sales@craftcms.com with your order number to request a refund. Updates to paid Services are purchased on an annual basis. You may opt-in to automatic annual renewals for convenience. Additional terms and conditions apply to paid Services as set forth in your Customer Agreement.

3.3 Software Requirement #

You must have a compatible device and hardware meeting the necessary minimum specifications and internet access (the “Software Requirements”) to use the Services. The Software Requirements are listed in the relevant Documentation. Our software, platform, or applications may be upgraded from time to time to add support for new functions.

You acknowledge that the terms of agreement with your respective internet service provider or mobile network provider will continue to apply while you use the Services. Data and messaging charges may apply to your use of the Services or any text messaging or photo sharing features you use via the Services. You accept responsibility for any such charges that arise.

You promise that you will not provide Craft CMS with any Prohibited Data. If you breach this promise, you are responsible for all damages arising out of the Prohibited Data, even if caused by Craft CMS.

3.7.4 Passive Conduit #

You agree that Craft CMS is a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of Your Content. You acknowledge and agree that Craft CMS does not and will not: (i) have any responsibility or liability for Your Content; (ii) monitor or evaluate Your Content hosted on the Craft Cloud; or (iii) have any obligation to review Your Content and does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of any of Your Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Craft CMS reserves the right to review, remove, delete, or block any or all of Your Content on the Craft Cloud and remove such Your Content at our sole discretion. You acknowledge that Your Content may remain on the Craft Cloud after termination of these Terms unless you delete it from the Craft Cloud.

3.7.5 License to Your Content #

By posting Your Content to the Services, you grant Craft CMS a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), and royalty-free, fully paid-up, right to use, copy, modify, distribute, display publicly, or process Your Content for the purpose of (i) facilitating your use of the Craft Cloud; (ii) marketing Craft CMS or the Craft Cloud; (iii) enforcing these Terms, exercising our rights, and performing our obligations hereunder; (iv) for any other purpose to which you specifically consent; or (v) for any other legally permissible purpose. You acknowledge and agree that we will not compensate you for any use of Your Content as provided herein. You may end this license for specific pieces of Your Content by deleting such pieces of Your Content from the Craft Cloud. You represent and warrant that (a) you have, or have obtained, all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power and/or authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein for Your Content that you create, submit, post, promote, or display on or through the Craft Cloud; (b) Your Content does not contain material subject to copyright, trademark, publicity rights, or other intellectual property rights, unless you have necessary permission or is otherwise legally entitled to post the material and to grant Craft CMS the license described in this section; and (c) Your Content does not violate any laws. You agree to waive any moral rights and promise not to assert such rights against us.

3.7.6 We Will Not Use Your Content For AI #

Craft CMS will never sell Your Content to a third party or use (or license a third party to use) Your Content to develop artificial intelligence technology or train large language models (“AI”). You acknowledge that data posted to the internet is sometimes collected by third parties, with or without permission, through web scraping, data scraping, or other automated technologies. If you use the Services to post Your Content online, you understand that doing so runs the risk that third parties may scrape data from Your Content and use it to train or develop AI and you agree that Craft CMS cannot and will not be liable to you or any other party related to such activities. If you wish to prevent scraping of Your Content, you are advised to take the necessary precautions to safeguard Your Content, such as posting legally enforceable terms and conditions related to Your Content prohibiting data scraping or use of Your Content related to AI without your permission.

3.7.7 Promotion #

If your website is publicly identifiable as using Craft, we may use Your Content to showcase what is possible with our Services. This may be a tweet, blog post, or other use. We will never disclose any personal information, code, or customer information if we showcase Your Content. We determine whether a website is publicly identifiable in the following ways:

  • You have publicly said something about it (blog post, social post, etc.).
  • Third-party tools like BuiltWith, Wappalyzer, or Whatruns identify your website as Craft using the information Craft sends in the HTML “Powered by Header.” This is a common HTML code-level methodology to identify software. This is enabled by default in Craft CMS.
  • If you disable the “powered by” header, we assume you do not want it known that the site is on the Services, and we won’t promote it. You can disable it in your General Config file.
  • We do not use Craftnet license information when deciding which websites to promote.

You can request that we remove any promotional use of your User Content by emailing us at legal@craftcms.com.

3.8 Our Trademarks #

Pixel & Tonic™, Craft®, Craft CMS®, and other trademarks and logos that we use with the Services are trademarks of Craft CMS (“Trademarks”). You may not use any of these Trademarks without our express written permission. Our registered and unregistered Trademarks, as well as trade dress, including names, logos, taglines, trade dress, and other Trademarks, may not be copied, imitated, or used, whether in whole, partial or modified form, without the prior written permission of Craft CMS.

Craft CMS and the other licensors of the marks on the Services reserve all rights with respect to all Services, including Free Software, Paid Software, Site Contents, and other intellectual property.

3.9 Feedback #

While using the Services, you or your End Users may choose to send us certain communications, suggestions, comments, improvements, ideas, or other feedback related to the Services (collectively, “Feedback”). You hereby grant Craft CMS all rights, titles, and interests in and to any Feedback submitted by you or your End Users. In the event this grant is not sufficient for us to fully realize and use the Feedback, you grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use and incorporate into the Services any of the Feedback. By providing Feedback, you are representing (on behalf of yourself and, if applicable, your End Users) that the Feedback is not subject to any intellectual property claim by a third party or any license terms that would require products or services derived from that Feedback to be licensed to or from, or shared with any third party.

3.10 Confidentiality #

By accessing and using the Services, you may encounter confidential information owned by Craft CMS, like information relating to our technology, trade secrets, know-how, business operations, plans, strategies, customers, and pricing, and personal data (“Confidential Information”), in each case whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential.” You promise that you will: (a) not access or use Confidential Information other than as necessary to use the Services; (b) not disclose or permit access to Confidential Information to any third party; and (c) protect the Confidential Information using at least the degree of care you use to protect your own confidential information (and not less than a reasonable degree of protection).

3.11 Monitoring #

You acknowledge that Craft CMS has the right, but not the obligation, at any time and without prior notice, to monitor access to or use of Craft Console, Craft Plugin Store, and Craft Cloud by any user if Craft CMS believes in good faith that it is reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with any law or regulation or satisfy any legal process or governmental request; (ii) to respond to claims asserted against Craft CMS; (iii) to enforce and to ensure a user’s compliance with these Terms, including the investigation of potential violations; (iv) to conduct risk assessments or prevent, detect or investigate incidents of fraud, security or technical issues; (v) to protect the rights, property or safety of Craft CMS, its other users or members of the public; or (vi) for the purpose of operating and improving the Products and Services.

3.12 No Development Restrictions #

You understand and acknowledge that Craft CMS may be independently creating applications, content, and other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with Your Content. Nothing in these Terms will be construed as restricting or preventing Craft CMS from creating and fully exploiting any applications, content, and other products or services, without any obligation to you. This paragraph will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.

3.13 Third-Party Services #

Some of the Services may be available through or integrated with third-party software, products, applications, platforms, or services developed by a third party or by you (“Third-Party Services”). If you use any Third-Party Services with the Services, you understand that: (a) Craft CMS does not vet, endorse, or control any Third-Party Services; (b) any use of a Third-Party Service is at your own risk, and we will not be responsible or liable to anyone for Third-Party Services; (c) we do not warrant the compatibility or continuing compatibility of the Third-Party Software with our Services; (d) your use of a Third-Party Service is solely between you and the third party offering the Third-Party Service; and (e) your use of a Third-Party Service is governed by the third party’s terms and policies, not ours. Third-Party Services may not work appropriately with your website, and Craft CMS may not be able to provide support for issues caused by any Third-Party Services. In rare cases, we may, at our discretion, suspend, disable, or remove Third-Party Services from use with our Services. Some Third-Party Services may request or require access to your data or data about your customers, clients, or end users. If you grant access to data, the data will be handled in accordance with the third party’s privacy policy and practices, not ours. Craft CMS does not have control over how a Third-Party Service may process or treat any data it accesses. You should carefully review the privacy practices of each Third-Party Service before granting it access to data.

3.14 Term and Termination #

The term of these Terms of Service begins on the first date you access the Services and remain in full force and effect as long as you use the Services in any manner. You may stop using the Services at any time. To terminate these Terms, you must cancel all subscriptions and discontinue all use of the Services. Any cancellation of the Services or termination of these Terms is effective when you discontinue all use of the Services. Termination of these Terms of Service will automatically terminate your subscription(s), but termination of your subscription(s) alone does not terminate these Terms of Service. On termination, you lose the right to access or use all Services. Craft CMS may disable or suspend access, remove, or change the Services at any time for any reason, without liability to you or anyone else. We also reserve the right to block users from accessing or posting content to the Services by using any technology available, such as blacklisting certain IP addresses or device numbers. The terms and conditions of Sections 1.3, 1.4, 3.1, 3.7.4, 3.7.5, 3.8 through 3.13, 3.15 through 3.18, and 3.20, all obligations for you to pay, and all other provisions which by their nature should survive shall survive termination.

LEGALESE AHEAD

These terms ensure that we can provide our Services on a cost-effective basis while protecting us from claims and risks that we don’t anticipate (and didn’t price into our Services). We are also required by law to “differentiate” some of the following legalese from normal text, which is why it is in bold.

3.15 Disclaimer of Warranties #

Except for any express warranties provided in these Terms or a separate written agreement between you and Craft CMS, the services are provided “as is,” “as available,” and without warranties of any kind. You use the Services at your own sole risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of title, quality, performance, merchantability, suitability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will provide continuous, prompt, secure, or error-free service. No oral or written information, representation, or advice given by Craft CMS shall create a warranty without a signed contract or document by Craft CMS expressly creating such warranty.

3.16 Indemnity #

You agree to indemnify and hold Craft CMS, our subsidiaries, our affiliates, and their respective members, directors, shareholders, officers, agents, partners, and employees harmless from any loss, liability, cost, expense, claim, damages, or demand, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, due or relating to or arising out of (a) your use of the Services in violation of these terms, (b) Your Content or plugins, or (c) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms or any breach of these Terms by you.

3.17 Limited Liability #

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Craft CMS (including its officers, directors, employees, agents, services providers and licensors) be liable to you for any indirect, extraordinary, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damages or for any loss of data, revenue, profits, use or other economic advantage, however arising, even if Craft CMS knows there is a possibility of such damage. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Craft CMS be liable to you for any amounts that, together with amounts associated with all other claims, exceed the aggregate of the fees paid by you to Craft CMS for services received pursuant to these Terms only (and not pursuant to your agreement) during the twelve (12) months prior to the act that gave rise to the liability, or if no fees were paid during such twelve (12) month period, five hundred US Dollars ($500), in each case, whether or not Craft CMS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. You also acknowledge that Craft CMS will have no liability to any third parties, including site owners, for any claim related to the Services. The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Craft CMS and you.

3.18 Dispute Resolution #

Please read the following section carefully because it contains a class action waiver, requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims, and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and Craft CMS arising out of or relating to: (i) these Terms, or the breach thereof; (ii) our provision of the Services; (iii) your access to or use of the Services; or (iv) any alleged violation of any federal, state, or local law, statute, or ordinance (each such dispute, controversy or claim, a “Dispute”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

3.18.1 Informal Dispute #

Resolution. We want to address your concerns without the necessity of a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Craft CMS, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting Craft CMS through our Help Center. Craft CMS will contact you by email as part of a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or Craft CMS may bring a formal proceeding.

3.18.2 Arbitration Agreement #

You and Craft CMS each agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Portland, Oregon, United States, or any other location we agree to. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location within the State of Oregon, in Deschutes or Multnomah County, Oregon. You are responsible to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees if your claim exceeds $5,000. If your claim for damages does not exceed $5,000, Craft CMS will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief you seek is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms (including the Limitation of Liability provision) and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have the authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

3.18.3 Small Claims. #

Notwithstanding Section 22(b), either you or Craft CMS may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Deschutes or Multnomah County, Oregon or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of our Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.

3.18.4 Class Action Waiver. #

You may only resolve Disputes with Craft CMS on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under these Terms.

3.18.5 Governing Law #

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Terms and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, the Federal Arbitration Act, and applicable U.S. federal law, as applicable, in each case without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) do not apply. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, if the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Craft CMS agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts in Deschutes County, Oregon, and you and Craft CMS each agree to waive the right to a jury trial. 3.18.6 Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim, or cause of action will be barred forever.

3.19 Copyright Infringement / DMCA Notice #

Craft CMS takes claims of copyright infringement seriously. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”). Upon receipt of a DMCA compliant notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the content that is the subject of the notice. If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof, and you wish to file a notice of infringement with us, then you may contact us at legal@craftcms.com. Please include the following information with your complaint (you should speak with your legal counsel or See 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to confirm these requirements):

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the Services.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. If material is believed in good faith by Craft CMS to infringe a copyright or otherwise violate any intellectual property rights, Craft CMS will remove or disable access to the material. Before submitting a notice of claimed copyright infringement, please note that doing so can have serious legal consequences. Be sure to consider whether the “fair use” doctrine or another similar limitation of copyright rights applies in your circumstances. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. If you are unsure whether the material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you contact an attorney before sending us notice.

Federal law treats electronic signatures as having the same legal force and effect as if signed on paper by hand, and online contracts have the same legal force as signing an equivalent paper contract in ink.

The parties’ relationship, as established by these Terms, is solely that of independent contractors. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, or similar business relationship between the parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without consent, assign these Terms to any successor to all or substantially all its business that concerns these Terms (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise). Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

3.20.7 Entire Agreement #

Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms and the agreements incorporated by reference herein constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Craft CMS and you regarding the Services and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Craft CMS and you regarding the Services.

Craft CMS reserves the right (but is not required) to remove or disable your access to our Services, disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, or remove any Content, or your User Content at any time and without notice, and at our sole discretion, if we determine that your use of our Services is in any way objectionable or in violation of these Terms. Certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Craft CMS, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Services without prior notice to you. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects our Services, and in response, may take any action we may deem appropriate.

3.20.9 Waiver; Severability #

Craft CMS’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. Except as expressly set forth herein, the exercise by either Party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. 3.20.10 Notices.

We will let you know if anything changes by posting the updated Terms on our Site or other Services, or by contacting you directly. If you use the Services in any manner after the effective date of any change to these Terms, that means you agree to all of the changes.
