easyhosting Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 i see you got a theme from WHMCSthemes, but have you made sure you have the licence from themeforest to use this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebsiteIntegrations Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 i see you got a theme from WHMCSthemes, but have you made sure you have the licence from themeforest to use this ah ok, was wondering why it wasn't "fully integrated" with the rest of their site. It is close and has the same generally appearance but could use some work. As for the site he got it from - odd how they sell themes based on work from themeforest without making sure the purchaser has actually bought the template and has the legal right to use it in whmcs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebsiteIntegrations Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) yeah what he said. you actually have to own the actual template from themeforest to use it otherwise it's technically illegal. whmcsthemes does not own those designs (really they should only be selling those themes to people who have purchased the template) http://themeforest.net/wiki/support/legal-terms/licensing-terms/ really under the licensing terms they probably shouldn't be selling those themes like they do 'The Regular License grants you, the Purchaser a non-exclusive, non-transferrable right to make use of the work that you acquire' Granted I myself have integrated themeforest designs for people under this clause 'You may use the Work in a work which you are creating for your own purposes or for your client who has asked you to create it.' key term there is ASKED YOU TO CREATE IT (which i don't think applies to offering them for sale ahead of time) Edited February 18, 2011 by wwesn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your WHMCS Theme will still function without the HTML files. ---- that last part is them pretty much saying you don't need the html files which is bull because you shouldn't use someone elses work if you didn't purchase the original template from the maker of it what is also funny is in the whmcsthemes tos it states "You are not entitled to resell any of the products and/or files you purchase from us. If we find that you have broken these terms, we will use every legal resource available to us in order to reclaim any loss of earnings incurred by your breach of this term. Neither are you entitled to distribute any of the products and/or files purchased from us to any other person or body. The files you purchase are only to be used by you. If we find that you have broken these terms, we will use every legal resource available to us in order to reclaim any loss of earnings incurred by your breach of this term." its funny because they are breaking the licensing terms then telling you if you do what they are doing they will take legal action Edited February 18, 2011 by wwesn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebsiteIntegrations Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 did you get your money back? if you open a dispute with paypal you may want to point out to them the terms that they violate from themeforest. Also I noticed they have two more new themes for sale based on 'free templates' and that they are also violating the terms for those as well http://www.templates.com/pages/info/legal.html "User is authorized to print copies of the Content, provided that the copies are only for personal, non-commercial use and that any notices contained in the Content are maintained.

TruConcept Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Lol I just read this story, I was thinking of purchasing from his site, and also looked at a few others, I also checked out WHMCSIntegrations.ca (wwesn's site) and I thought it looked similar to whmcsthemes.com after reading the sidebar news, it looks like "Alistair" copied his package's and names! Stay away from whmcsthemes.com While I am at it, I ordered integration from whmcsintegration.com and here I am 2 weeks later still waiting to hear back from the designer. wwesn, how long is your turnaround time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
