Terms of Service for Paid Access to OceanTheme Repository

These Terms of Service set out the terms and conditions for paid access to the OceanTheme website and the Materials Repository available at https://www.oceantheme.org/.

Where the concept of a public offer is recognized by applicable law, these Terms may constitute a public offer. In all other cases, these Terms form an agreement between the Website Administration and the person who registers on the Website, places an order, pays for a selected plan, or otherwise uses paid Access.

By registering on the Website, placing an order, paying for a selected plan, ticking the relevant confirmation checkbox, or using paid Access, the User accepts these Terms in full, without reservations or exceptions.


1. Definitions

Website — the OceanTheme website available at https://www.oceantheme.org/, including all of its sections, subdomains, services, user account area, forms, pages, and any other functions accessible through it.

Administration / Provider / Seller — the person administering the Website and providing access to its functionality and the Materials Repository. The Provider’s details are specified in Section 15 of these Terms.

2. General Provisions

2.1. These Terms govern the relationship between the Website Administration and the User in connection with using the Website, registering an Account, placing an order, making payment, and using the granted Access.

2.3. If the User does not agree to these Terms, the User must refrain from registering, making payment, and using paid Access.

3.1. The Administration grants the User, for a fee, time-limited and/or condition-limited Access to the Website, the personal account area, and the Materials Repository in accordance with the selected plan.

3.2. The payment charged under these Terms is not a payment for the transfer of exclusive rights and does not constitute a sale of copyright in software, templates, extensions, plugins, modules, components, or other digital materials owned by third parties.

3.3. The User is informed and agrees that, under these Terms, the Administration provides paid digital access to the Website’s Materials Repository and also ensures the operation of the Website infrastructure, the systematization of materials, search organization, access support, searching for and posting updates, and other related service support.

3.4. All files and digital materials access to which is provided through the Website’s Materials Repository within the selected plan are distributed by the respective rights holders under the terms of the GNU/GPL license, unless expressly stated otherwise on the page of a specific item.

4.2. The User must provide accurate data and keep it up to date.

4.3. During registration, the Website may require the User to tick a confirmation checkbox.

4.4. The User is solely responsible for keeping their login, password, and any other means of access to the Account secure, as well as for all actions performed through the Account, unless proven otherwise.

4.5. Sharing Account access with third parties, providing shared access to the personal account area, bypassing the Website’s technical restrictions, or using the Account for mass redistribution of access or any other abuse is not permitted.

4.6. If signs of unauthorized Account use, hacking, transfer of access to third parties, automated parsing, abnormal load, fraud, abuse of payment instruments, or any other actions that pose a threat to the Website, its Users, or the Administration are detected, the Administration may temporarily restrict access to the Account until the circumstances are clarified.

5.1. Current plans, access periods, limits, restrictions, the scope of available sections, pricing, and other conditions are specified on the relevant pages of the Website and/or on the checkout page.

5.2. By placing an order, the User confirms that they have reviewed the parameters of the selected plan, including its term, any download limits, the scope of sections, and the price.

5.6. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website, all payments are one-time payments. Automatic renewal and recurring automatic charges do not apply under these Terms.

5.7. Renewal of Access, if provided for on the Website, is arranged by the User separately and is treated as a new independent order.

6. Terms of Access

6.1. Access is granted within the scope valid on the date of activation of the relevant plan and for the duration of its validity period.

6.6. The Administration may carry out maintenance, technical, and other work necessary for the normal functioning of the Website. Where possible, such work will be performed at a reasonable time; however, short-term unavailability of the Website in itself shall not constitute a breach of these Terms.


7. Refund Policy

7.1. The User understands and accepts that, under these Terms, a digital product is provided in the form of paid time-limited access to the Website’s Materials Repository, as well as to the functionality of the personal account area and related Website services.

7.2. Such digital access may be provided immediately after payment. By placing an order and paying for Access, the User agrees to the immediate commencement of performance in the part concerning the provision of digital access after payment confirmation. If applicable law provides for a right to withdraw from or revoke a contract for the supply of digital content, the User agrees that, after Access has actually been provided, such right may be limited or terminated to the extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable law.

7.3. Due to the digital nature of the Access provided and the fact that the User obtains the ability to immediately use the Materials Repository and the Website functionality, refunds shall, as a general rule, not be issued after Access has actually been provided.

7.4. The mere fact that, after activation of Access, the User did not download files, did not use the personal account area, changed their mind, incorrectly assessed compatibility of the materials with their infrastructure, or was unable to use the materials for reasons on their side shall not constitute grounds for a refund.

7.5. Exceptionally, and only on an individual basis, the Administration may consider a refund request, in particular in the following cases:

  • duplicate or erroneous payment;
  • Access was not provided due to the fault of the Administration;
  • a significant technical issue occurred on the Website side, making it impossible to provide the core paid Access, and such issue was not remedied within a reasonable period;
  • other cases where a refund is mandatory under applicable mandatory law.

7.6. To have a request considered, the User shall send a message using the contacts specified in these Terms with data sufficient to identify the Account, order, and payment.

7.7. When reviewing a request, the Administration may verify the payment circumstances, Account status, the fact of Access being granted, authorization logs, service usage information, download data, and other objective information relevant to the disputed situation.

7.8. Refunds shall not be issued where the Website or the materials cannot be used for reasons beyond the Administration’s control, including incompatibility with the User’s infrastructure, hosting configuration, conflicts with third-party software, actions of rights holders, provider restrictions, blocks imposed by third parties, lack of necessary user skills, and other circumstances on the User’s side.

7.9. If a refund is approved, the funds shall be returned by the method and under the rules permitted by applicable law, the Payment Partner’s rules, and the actual circumstances of the disputed payment.


8. GNU/GPL, Rights to the Materials and Limitation of Liability

8.1. All files and digital materials access to which is provided through the Website’s Materials Repository within the selected plan are distributed by the rights holders under the terms of the GNU/GPL license, unless expressly stated otherwise on the page of a specific item.

8.2. The Administration does not sell exclusive rights in such materials, does not claim authorship of them unless expressly stated otherwise, and does not alter the scope of the User’s rights already granted under the relevant rights holder’s license.

8.3. The User independently determines the legality, appropriateness, and technical feasibility of using the obtained materials on their websites, servers, and other systems.

8.4. The Administration is responsible for the operation of its own Website and access service to the extent reasonably within its control, but is not responsible for:

  • the operability, quality, security, relevance, completeness, or suitability of third-party code created by third parties;
  • the consequences of installation, configuration, modification, or use by the User of materials on their websites, servers, and other systems;
  • losses caused by conflicts between the materials and hosting, CMS, third-party themes, extensions, modules, plugins, server environment, PHP versions, databases, browsers, and other software;
  • changes by rights holders to licensing terms, support, distribution, or updates of materials;
  • the User’s subjective expectations regarding functionality, design, compatibility, commercial value, or other characteristics of third-party materials.

8.5. Unless expressly stated otherwise on a specific page of the Website, the materials and access to them are provided on an “as is” basis with respect to third-party digital materials and their characteristics.

8.6. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website, the Administration is not obliged to provide individual services for installation, configuration, modification, adaptation, programming, or support of materials downloaded by the User.

The Administration may also send informational and promotional messages about OceanTheme, Website updates, new or updated materials, Plans, offers, promotions, and related services to the email address provided by the User where the User has agreed to receive such messages during registration, checkout, subscription, or other Website interaction, or where such communication is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

If the registration or checkout form contains a checkbox stating that the User agrees to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and receipt of service, informational, and promotional messages, ticking that checkbox is treated as the User’s confirmation of consent to receive such messages at the email address provided by the User.

10.8. The User may opt out of informational and promotional messages at any time by using an unsubscribe link, replying to the message where technically supported, or contacting the Administration through the contact details provided on the Website.
