Website Template Terms & Use

Updated April 10, 2026

By purchasing and using a The Modern Designer Studio LLC website template, you agree to the following terms:

1. License & Usage

Each template purchase includes a Personal Use License, which grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the template for one (1) personal or business website.

You may:

  • Customize the template to fit your brand

  • Use it for your own business or personal website

You may not:

  • Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or share this template (or any modified version)

  • Use this template for client work without the appropriate license

  • Use this template to create derivative templates for sale without a Commercial Resell License

  • Claim the design, layout, or structure as your own original work

Each website requires its own template purchase.

2. Attribution Requirement

By default, you agree to retain visible design credit in the footer of your website in the form:
“Template design by The Modern Designer Studio LLC.”

This attribution must remain clearly visible and accessible on all live versions of the website using this template.

3. Additional License Options

In addition to the included Personal Use License, the following additional licenses are available for expanded usage rights:

  • Single Credit Removal License — allows removal of the required footer attribution for one (1) personal use website

  • White Label License — allows use of templates for client projects and removal of the required footer attribution across multiple websites

  • Commercial Resell License — allows you to modify and resell templates as your own product, subject to the conditions outlined in these Terms

Unless a valid Credit Removal License or White Label License is purchased, removal, modification, or concealment of the required footer attribution is strictly prohibited.

Important:
Each website or resale product must be based on a legally purchased template.

4. Single Credit Removal License

The Single Credit Removal License applies to one (1) personal use website using one (1) template.

You may:

  • Remove the required footer attribution from a single personal use website

You may not:

  • Apply this license to multiple websites

  • Use this license for client projects

  • Transfer or reuse this license across projects

A separate Single Credit Removal License must be purchased for each additional website.

5. White Label License (Client Use)

The White Label License is intended for service-based use.

You may:

  • Use templates for client projects

  • Customize and deliver completed websites to clients

  • Remove the required footer attribution

You may not:

  • Resell or distribute the template files

  • Provide the template as a standalone product

  • Claim the original design as your own work

Each client website must still purchase its own template.

6. Commercial Resell License

The Commercial Resell License grants permission to modify and resell templates as your own product, subject to the following conditions:

  • The template must be significantly modified

  • The final product must not be substantially similar or recognizable as the original template

  • The original template may not be resold as-is

You may:

  • Modify the design, layout, and structure

  • Rebrand and sell as your own product

You may not:

  • Resell or distribute the original template without meaningful modification

  • Sell minimally altered versions that closely resemble the original

  • Claim the original design as entirely your own work

This license grants resale rights but does not transfer ownership of the original design.

7. Intellectual Property

All templates, designs, layouts, and included assets remain the intellectual property of The Modern Designer Studio LLC.

Your purchase grants a license to use the template—not ownership of the design.

8. Refund Policy

No refunds, exchanges, or cancellations will be issued once access to the template has been delivered.

9. Platform Requirements

  • Ongoing technical support

Additional services may be available separately.

11. Installation & Setup

The Modern Designer Studio LLC is not responsible for issues resulting from user edits, third-party tools, or improper installation.
