License Agreement

521 Dimensions LLC (DBA Server Side Up) grants you an ongoing, non-exclusive license to use the Docker templates (the "Templates"). The license grants permission to use the Templates as specified in the type of license you have purchased (Personal or Team). By purchasing a license, you agree to the terms outlined in this document.

Types of Licenses

  1. Personal License: For individual users
  2. Team License: For organizations with multiple users

Personal License

The Personal License grants permission to one individual (the "Licensee") to access and use the Templates through a single GitHub account.

Team License

A Team License grants a single organization access for up to 25 individual GitHub accounts for employees within a single legal entity. This license is non-transferable between organizations.

License Activation, Transfer, and Refunds

  • Once a license is activated by inviting a GitHub account, it cannot be transferred to another account.
  • Due to the nature of digital goods, we do not offer refunds for purchased licenses. All sales are final.

Permitted Uses

You are permitted to:

  • Use the Templates to create unlimited end products.
  • Modify the Templates to create derivative works for your own projects, including commercial works.
  • Use the Templates in open-source projects, provided you do not resell the Templates or derivatives.

Restrictions

You are not permitted to:

  • Use the Templates to create products that allow end users to build their own end products using the Templates or derivatives.
  • Redistribute the Templates or derivatives separately from an end product.
  • Share your access to the Template repository with any other individual outside of your licensed accounts.
  • Use the Templates to produce anything deemed by 521 Dimensions LLC (DBA Server Side Up) to be competitive or in conflict with their business.
  • Sell or redistribute the original or modified Templates in any form, including incorporating them into a GUI or other platform for resale.

Distribution

  • Each user must have their own GitHub account. Sharing access or redistributing the Templates through other channels is prohibited.
  • The Templates can be used to sell self-hosted applications, provided the focus is on the application, not the Templates themselves.

Support and Updates

  • Community-based support is available through our private GitHub Discussions forum, which you can access with your license.
  • This forum allows users to ask questions, share knowledge, and discuss best practices.
  • While we strive to maintain an active and helpful community, please note:
    • Responses are provided on a best-effort basis by community members and our team.
    • We do not offer guaranteed response times or Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
    • One-on-one support, including screen sharing or direct troubleshooting of your specific setup, is not included.
  • For bug reports or feature requests, please open an issue on our GitHub repository here.
  • We regularly update the Templates. Your license includes lifetime access to these updates at no additional cost. This means you will have access to all future versions and improvements of the Templates for as long as we continue to offer them, without having to repurchase or renew your license.

We encourage users to actively participate in the community, both in seeking and providing help. This collaborative environment benefits everyone and helps improve the overall quality of the Templates.

Example Usage

Examples of usage allowed by the license:

  • Creating a personal or commercial application for yourself or a client using the Templates.
  • Modifying the Templates to suit the specific needs of a project you are working on.
  • Using the Templates as part of a self-hosted application that is sold to end users for a one-time fee, where the value of the sale is found in the application (not the templates).
  • Integrating the Templates into an open-source project where the primary purpose is clearly not to simply re-distribute the Templates, and the source code is publicly available.

Examples of usage not allowed by the license:

  • Creating a repository of your favorite Docker templates or derivatives based on the Templates and publishing it publicly.
  • Creating a library of Docker templates using the Templates and making it available either for sale or for free.
  • Converting the Templates to another framework and making it available either for sale or for free.
  • Creating a platform or service that allows end users to generate their own Docker files using the Templates or derivatives.
  • Creating a GUI or web service that allows users to generate Docker files using the Templates or derivatives.
  • Creating a theme, template, or starter kit using the Templates and making it available either for sale or for free.
  • Creating a tool similar to Spin and offering it for sale or for free.
  • Creating any end product that is not the sole property of either yourself or a client of yours. For example, your employees or contractors can't use your company license to build their own projects.
  • Giving someone access to the Templates when they purchase a product or service from you. For example, you can't use a Personal License as a way to give someone access to the Templates when they purchase an online course from you.
  • Selling access to your account or the Templates.

The copyright of the Components and Templates is owned by 521 Dimensions LLC. You are granted only the permissions described in this license; all other rights are reserved. 521 Dimensions LLC reserves the right to pursue legal remedies for any unauthorized use of the Components or Templates outside the scope of this license.

IN ANY CASE, 521 DIMENSIONS LLC'S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE LICENSE.
