Copyright and Licensing

Licensing Policy: OpenJournalSystems.com sells a wide range of custom created content including themes and plugins for Open Journal Systems (OJS), and open source platforms. These custom themes and plugins are sold under what is known as a Default Split License.

When you purchase an OJS theme/plugin from us, you’re acquiring a license to use an OpenJournalSystems.com theme/plugin. A single purchase of an OpenJournalSystems.com OJS theme/plugin allows you to use the theme/plugin on one finished site. If you need to use it on a second site, you would be required to purchase a second license. There are two options when licensing a theme/plugin from OpenJournalSystems.com: a Regular License and an Extended License. A Regular License allows you to use our OJS theme/plugin in one journal only. An Extended License allows you to use our OJS theme/plugin in multiple journals, within the same installation, and in one server only.

Customization Policy: OJS themes/plugin purchased from openjournalsystems.com are for your use only. You may customize the theme/plugin, but you may not include the original purchased items (or source files) in any distributed end product. This includes any OJS theme/plugin that you have customized yourself.

Upgrade policy: themes/plugins have to be upgraded in order to be compatible with each software upgrade. Our theme/plugin support only covers 12 months of support. An additional charge will be applicable for any theme/plugin support beyond the 12 months.

Refund Policy: because we sell non-tangible digital products which cannot be returned or exchanged, we do not offer refunds. Please take the time to review the theme demos and get in touch with us if you have any questions prior to making your purchase.

Any violation or dispute will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, and the laws of United States.
