This document is a public offer by the right holder of the DLEMod modules to conclude a license agreement on the terms set out below, and at the same time the rules for using the dlemod.com website. Please read it before buying: by paying for an order, you accept these terms in full.
The essentials
- You are not buying “a copy of a file” but a perpetual right to use the module — on the sites in your license, in any country.
- A site means the whole domain: a license for example.com also covers www.example.com, shop.example.com, dev.example.com and any other subdomain. Only a different domain takes a slot in the license.
- Web studios may install the module on their clients’ sites — provided the license for the client’s site was bought on dlemod.com.
- The code is open: you may read it and adapt it for your sites. You may not distribute it, resell it or bypass the license key check.
- The plan period only governs access to downloads and updates. When it ends, the module keeps working.
- The terms of your license are fixed at the moment of purchase: later changes to the plans or to this document do not make them worse.
This section is a convenience summary and does not replace the terms set out below.
1. Definitions
1.1. Licensor — the holder of the exclusive rights to the Modules and owner of the dlemod.com website. Information about the Licensor needed to perform the agreement, to protect rights or required by law is provided on request sent through the contacts in section 15.
1.2. User — a person with full legal capacity using the Website. Licensee — a User who has paid for an order.
1.3. DLEMod Website — the website at dlemod.com with all its pages.
1.4. Module — a computer program (Art. 1261 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) designed to run as part of the DataLife Engine CMS, including its source code, documentation and Updates.
1.5. Update — a new version of a Module published by the Licensor.
1.6. Plan — the set of license terms (number of Licensee Sites, License Period, scope of support) published on the DLEMod Website when the order is placed.
1.7. Licensee Site — a domain name available for registration with a registrar (a registrable domain determined by the public suffix list at publicsuffix.org), together with all domains of lower levels: a license for example.com extends to *.example.com. Domain names differing in at least one part or in the domain zone (example.com and example.net) are different Licensee Sites.
1.8. Technical address — an address not reachable from the Internet: localhost, domains in the .test, .local and similar service zones, IP addresses of internal networks. A technical address is not a Licensee Site and is not counted towards their number.
1.9. Key — a unique license key issued to the Licensee for the Module to verify the license.
1.10. License Period — the term set by the Plan during which downloading the Module and Updates are available to the Licensee.
1.11. Account — the section of the DLEMod Website available to the User after signing in.
2. Conclusion of the agreement
2.1. This document is a public offer (Art. 437(2) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The license agreement is concluded as an adhesion contract (Art. 428), including in the manner provided for computer programs by Art. 1286(5) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
2.2. Registering on the DLEMod Website means agreeing to the rules for using the DLEMod Website. Full and unconditional acceptance of the offer as regards the license is payment of the order (Art. 438(3)). From the moment payment is received, the agreement is deemed concluded in writing (Art. 434(2), (3)).
2.3. The parties recognise actions performed in the Account after signing in with an email address and password as signed with the User’s simple electronic signature (Art. 160(2) of the Civil Code; Art. 5(2) and 6(2) of Federal Law No. 63-FZ “On Electronic Signature”).
2.4. When accepting the offer on behalf of an organisation, the User confirms that they are duly authorised to do so.
3. Subject of the license
3.1. The Licensor grants the Licensee a simple (non-exclusive) license (Art. 1236(1)(1) of the Civil Code) to use the Module in the following ways:
- reproduction — installing and recording the Module in the memory of computers serving the Licensee Sites, within their number under the Plan (Art. 1270(2)(1));
- adaptation (modification) of the Module for the needs of the Licensee Sites (Art. 1270(2)(9));
- using the Module for its intended purpose as part of the Licensee Sites.
3.2. Territory of use — the whole world (Art. 1235(3)).
3.3. The license is granted for the entire term of the exclusive right to the Module (Art. 1235(4)). The end of the License Period only ends access to downloads and Updates and does not end the right to use Module versions already obtained.
3.4. The number of Licensee Sites is determined by the Plan at the moment of payment. Technical addresses are not included in this number.
3.5. The Licensee may install the Module on their clients’ sites, including when providing the services of a web studio or developer, provided that each such site is covered by a license purchased on the DLEMod Website: either the Licensee’s own license — in which case the client’s site takes a slot in it — or a license the client purchased on the DLEMod Website themselves. Purchasing licenses from third parties, reselling the Module to a client and handing over the archive or Key to a client as a standalone product are not permitted: to buy, the client is referred to the DLEMod Website.
3.6. The Module’s source code is provided in open form, without encryption or obfuscation, so that the Licensee can review and adapt the Module. The license is not an open license within the meaning of Art. 1286.1 of the Civil Code and gives no right to distribute the Module or its source code.
3.7. Granting sublicenses is not permitted (Art. 1238(1)).
3.8. The exclusive right to the Module, including adapted versions as far as the parts created by the Licensor are concerned, remains with the Licensor (Art. 1235(1)).
4. Fee and payment
4.1. The fee is the Plan price shown on the DLEMod Website when the order is placed. Prices may be displayed in rubles, US dollars or euros; the amount and currency are fixed in the order.
4.2. Payment is made in cryptocurrency by the methods listed on the payment page. An invoice is valid for the limited time stated in it; the rate is fixed for that time. The Licensee must transfer the exact amount on the network stated in the invoice.
4.3. The payment obligation is deemed fulfilled when the funds are credited to the address stated in the invoice and the transfer is confirmed on the relevant network. The risk of a transfer on another network, to another address or in a wrong amount lies with the Licensee; the Licensor assists in returning such a transfer where technically possible.
4.4. The Licensee may upgrade to a higher Plan while the License Period has not ended or can still be renewed. On upgrade, the amount paid for the current Plan is credited: in full within 30 days from the purchase date, later in proportion to the unused part of the Updates period, but no less than 50%. The amount due is shown before payment. After the License Period ends, an upgrade is made as a new purchase at the full price.
4.5. Promo codes apply on the terms stated when they are issued and on the order page.
5. Delivery of the Module, the Key and site binding
5.1. The Module is delivered by granting download access in the Account immediately after payment is confirmed. The parties agree that no acceptance certificate is drawn up; the fact of granting access is recorded in the Account.
5.2. The Key is the Licensee’s confidential information. The Licensee must not disclose the Key to third parties and is responsible for actions performed with it until a new Key is issued.
5.3. The first Licensee Site is connected to the license automatically on the Module’s first check with the Key; further Sites are added by the Licensee in the Account. A disconnected Site frees its slot in the license after 24 hours.
5.4. The Key, site binding and the license check are technical means of copyright protection (Art. 1299 of the Civil Code). The right to adapt the Module does not extend to the license check mechanism: removing, altering or circumventing it is not permitted.
5.5. Where there are signs that the Key has been compromised (requests from Sites not in the license; downloads from a large number of addresses), the Licensor may automatically suspend download access until a new Key is issued. The Module keeps working on the Licensee Sites. The Licensee may issue a new Key in the Account at any time.
6. License Period, updates and support
6.1. The License Period, the number of Licensee Sites and the scope of support are determined by the Plan on the date of payment. Later changes to the Plans do not worsen the terms of licenses already purchased.
6.2. During the License Period, the Licensee can download the Module and the Updates released in that period. Updates are provided on the terms of this agreement.
6.3. After the License Period ends, the Module keeps working on the Licensee Sites without time limit; access to downloads and new versions closes. If the Plan provides time-limited Updates, the Licensee may renew the License Period in advance or within 30 days after it ends for 50% of the current Plan price; the new period is added to the end of the current one. After that, access is resumed by a new purchase of any Plan at the current price.
6.4. Support includes advice on installing, configuring and using the Module within the limits of the Plan and does not include customisation to individual requirements unless the Plan expressly states otherwise.
6.5. The Module’s compatibility with DataLife Engine and PHP versions is stated on the Module page. Compatibility with versions released after the License Period ends is not guaranteed.
7. Restrictions
7.1. The Licensee may not:
- distribute the Module, its parts or its source code in any way, including publishing them, passing them to third parties or including them in bundles, templates and distributions;
- sell, rent out, sublicense or otherwise transfer rights to the Module;
- use the Module on more Sites than the Plan provides;
- remove, alter or circumvent the technical means of protection (clause 5.4) or pass the Key to third parties;
- remove or alter copyright management information (Art. 1300 of the Civil Code);
- use the Module’s code to create products intended for distribution that compete with the Modules.
7.2. Using the Module in a way or within limits not provided for by this agreement infringes the Licensor’s exclusive right (Art. 1237(3)).
8. Liability
8.1. For infringement of the exclusive right, including circumvention of the technical means of protection, the Licensee bears the liability provided by Art. 1252, 1299 and 1301 of the Civil Code: the Licensor may claim, at its choice, compensation for losses or statutory compensation of 10,000 to 5,000,000 rubles or twice the value of the right to use the Module, as well as other liability established by law.
8.2. In the event of a breach of section 7, the Licensor may suspend the Key and access to the Account and terminate the agreement in the manner established by law.
8.3. The Module is provided in the form described on the Module page. The Licensor is not liable for lost profits, indirect losses or data loss arising from use of the Module, and its liability is limited to the amount paid for the relevant license — except where such a limitation is not permitted by law (including Art. 401(4) of the Civil Code and Art. 16 of the Russian Law “On Consumer Rights Protection”).
8.4. The Licensor warrants that it holds the rights necessary to grant the license and that the Module contains no deliberately introduced malicious code.
8.5. The parties are released from liability for failure to perform obligations due to force majeure (Art. 401(3)).
9. Refunds
9.1. The Licensee may request a refund if the Module materially fails to match its description on the DLEMod Website or contains an error that makes its intended use impossible, and the Licensor has not fixed it within 30 days of receiving the request. A consumer, in addition, enjoys all rights granted by consumer protection law; the provisions of this agreement do not limit them.
9.2. A refund request is sent stating the order number and is considered within 10 days. The refund is made in the amount paid in the order currency, by transfer in the same cryptocurrency and network or by another agreed method.
9.3. Upon a refund, the license ends, the Key is revoked, and the Licensee must remove the Module from all Sites.
10. Customisations and custom modules
10.1. A request for customisation or development of a module submitted on the DLEMod Website is an offer to conclude a separate agreement. The price, timing and terms regarding rights to the result are agreed in the request; until the price is agreed, the parties have no obligations.
10.2. Unless otherwise agreed in the request, the result of the work is provided to the Licensee under a simple license on the terms of this agreement, within the Sites it was created for.
11. Account
11.1. The User provides accurate information, keeps the password safe and is responsible for actions performed under their account. The User must notify the Licensor immediately if the password or Key is compromised.
11.2. The Licensor may restrict access to an account in the event of a breach of this agreement or signs that it has been hacked.
11.3. The User may request deletion of the account. They may continue to use Module versions obtained earlier on the terms of the license; access to downloads and Updates ends.
12. Personal data and notifications
12.1. Personal data is processed in accordance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data” and the Privacy Policy. Processing necessary to perform the agreement is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(5) of that law.
12.2. Service messages — about orders, licenses, site connections and security — are sent to the account email as part of performing the agreement. Advertising mailings are sent only with separate prior consent (Art. 18(1) of Federal Law No. 38-FZ “On Advertising”), which may be withdrawn at any time.
13. Changes to the terms
13.1. The Licensor may change this document. A new version takes effect when published on the DLEMod Website and applies to agreements concluded after that.
13.2. Changes that worsen the Licensee’s position — reducing the number of Sites, shortening the License Period, narrowing the ways of use — do not apply to licenses already purchased without the Licensee’s consent.
14. Governing law and disputes
14.1. The agreement is governed by the law of the Russian Federation (Art. 1210 of the Civil Code) — without prejudice to the protection afforded to a consumer by the mandatory rules of the law of the country of their residence (Art. 1212).
14.2. A pre-trial claim procedure is mandatory: a claim is sent to the email address stated in clause 15.3; the response period is 30 days.
14.3. A dispute not settled through the claim procedure is heard by the court at the Licensor’s location, and a dispute with a consumer — by the court determined under the jurisdiction rules of consumer protection law.
15. Final provisions
15.1. This text is published in several languages; in case of discrepancies between translations, the Russian version prevails.
15.2. The invalidity of any provision does not affect the validity of the others (Art. 180 of the Civil Code).
15.3. Contacting the Licensor: the feedback form on the DLEMod Website, email info@dlemod.com, Telegram @snh001. Claims and requests provided for by this agreement are sent through the same contacts.
