# Terms and Conditions

These terms cover this website and what I sell through it, and they're written to be read. By using the site or buying something, you agree to them. "I" and "me" here means David V. Kimball and David V. Kimball LLC.

## What I sell

Everything is on [the store](https://davidvkimball.com/store), priced in U.S. dollars.

- **Astro themes.** Axis, Coffer, and Continuum are digital downloads, each a one-time purchase.
- **Zeku.** My writing app for Astro sites has [its own terms](https://zeku.dev/terms), which cover its trial, its licenses, and its refunds.
- **The Axis + Coffer + Continuum + Zeku bundle.** All three themes and a Zeku license for up to 3 computers, on one license key. The themes fall under these terms, and Zeku falls under its own.
- **Merch.** Apparel from my [merch store](https://merch.davidvkimball.com), which Fourthwall runs. Physical goods, shipping, and returns fall under [Fourthwall's terms](https://merch.davidvkimball.com/terms-of-service).

Free things like Vault CMS and Astro Modular come with the licenses in their own repositories.

## Buying

Lemon Squeezy sells the themes, Zeku, and the bundle as the merchant of record, and handles payment and tax under its [buyer terms](https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/buyer-terms). It emails your receipt, download, and license key, and your past orders are always on [My Orders](https://app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders).

## Theme licenses

A theme license lets you use that theme for your own projects. It's non-exclusive and non-transferable, and it comes with one license key for your use only.

- You can't resell, sublicense, or share a theme, its download links, or its license key.
- You can't offer a theme for free or for sale on a marketplace, theme directory, or anything similar.
- You can't remove the attribution, copyright notices, or license terms that come with a theme.
- Keys found to be shared or abused can be revoked.
- Every license includes future updates through `pnpm run update`, which needs your key. That lasts as long as the product does, and it isn't a promise that development never ends.

Anything beyond this isn't covered, and that includes building a site for a client. If that's what you want to do, [ask me first](https://davidvkimball.com/contact).

### Axis

- You can use Axis on unlimited personal and commercial projects you own or operate.
- The Axis Settings plugin and the Tag Mirror plugin are proprietary software that comes with your purchase, and you can't redistribute them separately from the theme.
- Community support lives on my [Discord server](https://discord.gg/gyrNHAwHK8). Custom development, debugging your code, and third-party integration support aren't included.

## Refunds

- **Zeku.** You get 30 days under [its terms](https://zeku.dev/terms).
- **Themes and the bundle.** Refund requests are handled under Lemon Squeezy's policies. It may issue a refund for fraud, its own error, or a product violation. Otherwise, digital products are generally non-refundable once you've received them.
- **Merch.** Fourthwall's [terms](https://merch.davidvkimball.com/terms-of-service) apply.

## Acceptable use

Use what you buy only under these terms and the law, and not in any way that breaks Lemon Squeezy's [prohibited products](https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/getting-started/prohibited-products) policy.

## No warranty

To the extent the law allows, the site and everything I sell are provided as is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. I don't promise they'll be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

## Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, my total liability for any claim related to these terms or a product is limited to what you paid for that product. I'm not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be waived.

## Site content

The writing and images on this site are © David V. Kimball, all rights reserved. A short quote with a link back is welcome. This doesn't cover the Products, which have their own licenses above.

## Changes

I may update these terms. The current version always lives on this page with its date, and buying something or continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

## Contact

Questions about these terms go through my [contact page](https://davidvkimball.com/contact).
