These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Tangleroot Dependency Mapper WordPress plugin, available in a free “Lite” edition and a paid “Pro” edition (together, the “Software”), and this website (tanglerootmapper.com). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, or by purchasing a Pro license, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software or this website.
1. The Software
Tangleroot Lite is distributed free of charge through WordPress.org under the GNU General Public License v2 or later (“GPL”). Nothing in these Terms restricts any right granted to you under the GPL for Lite’s licensed source code. Tangleroot Pro adds paid features on top of Lite and is licensed, not sold, to you under the terms below for use on the number of sites permitted by your plan.
2. Pro license grant and restrictions
Subject to payment and these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Tangleroot Pro on the number of websites included in your plan, for as long as your subscription remains active. You may not resell, sublicense, or share your license key with anyone outside your own organization, or circumvent the Plugin’s license-activation mechanism.
3. Accounts and license keys
You are responsible for keeping your license key and account credentials confidential, and for all activity that occurs using them. Let us know right away at support@tanglerootmapper.com if you believe your license key has been compromised.
4. Payment, subscriptions, and billing
Pro licenses are sold as subscriptions and billed through Paddle.com, which acts as the merchant of record and seller for all orders. By purchasing, you also agree to Paddle’s own Buyer Terms. Unless canceled beforehand, subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price for successive terms. You can cancel at any time through the link in your purchase receipt email or by contacting us. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for how refunds and cancellations are handled.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to: reverse-engineer the Pro edition’s licensing mechanism to bypass payment; use the Software to build a competing product using our proprietary (non-GPL) assets; interfere with or disrupt this website or our licensing servers; or use the Software for any unlawful purpose.
6. Intellectual property
Aside from the GPL-licensed code in Tangleroot Lite, the Tangleroot name, logo, and branding, and all non-GPL assets, remain our property or that of our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you beyond the license expressly granted above.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Software is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free, that it will catch every dependency conflict, or that it will operate uninterrupted.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or profits, arising from your use of the Software or this website. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Software will not exceed the amount you paid us for the applicable Pro license in the twelve months before the claim arose.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your Pro license if you materially breach these Terms and do not correct the breach after notice, or if your subscription payment fails and is not resolved within a reasonable grace period. You may stop using the Software and cancel your subscription at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated “Last updated” date, and material changes will take effect for existing subscribers at their next renewal where required by law.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where local consumer-protection law gives you additional rights that cannot be waived.
