5. Licenses Terms
5.1 Architectural Licensing Framework
When an asset is acquired on Codehub, the transaction does not constitute a transfer of Intellectual Property (IP) ownership. Instead, the buyer enters into a strict licensing covenant with the respective Author, managed and enforced by Codehub. You are purchasing a conditional legal right to utilize the source code under defined operational constraints.
5.2 The Standard License Agreement
The Standard License is designed for independent developers, freelancers, and businesses operating single-instance deployments.
Permitted Actions under Standard License:
You may install, compile, modify, and execute the source code to create one (1) unique end product for personal use or for a single commercial client.
You may make modifications to the codebase, integrate it with external APIs, and change structural styling elements.
Strict Prohibitions under Standard License:
You are strictly prohibited from utilizing the asset across multiple projects, domains, or distinct clients. Each separate deployment requires an independent Standard License purchase.
You cannot resell, redistribute, sub-license, or lease the source code—either in its raw state or modified state—as a standalone digital asset, framework, or template.
5.3 The Extended License Agreement
The Extended License is engineered for SaaS platforms, software distribution firms, and commercial digital products.
Permitted Actions under Extended License:
You are authorized to create one (1) single end product where end-users can be charged a recurring subscription fee, transactional fee, or access fee (e.g., a SaaS platform, a mobile application sold on public App Stores).
You may extensively refactor, scale, and integrate the code into your core corporate commercial infrastructure.
Strict Prohibitions under Extended License:
While you may charge end-users for access to the functional compiled software service, you are absolutely forbidden from selling, exposing, or distributing the underlying raw source code to those users.
The license remains restricted to a single core product instance; mass distribution of the code as a template or site-builder component is illegal.
