Terms and Conditions (Software License)

Please review the following terms and conditions before purchasing, installing or using the licensed Scotiacode Inc. software products and/or its related materials.

If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, please return the SHINE product and immediately destroy all copies of the extension in your possession.

1. Extension Licensing

SHINE and all extensions, unless otherwise stated, are licensed on a Perpetual basis. This means that the purchaser has the right to use the extension forever on the number of DNN installations that were chosen when the original license was purchased.

Scotiacode Inc. retains ownership of the copy of the extension in your possession, and all copies you may be licensed to use. Scotiacode Inc. maintains all rights not expressly granted to you in the Terms and Conditions.

2. Warranty and Liability

Extensions sold and distributed by Scotiacode Inc. are done so in the hope that they will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Inasmuch as DNN Platform functions correctly on a clean install of itself, SHINE is guaranteed to function on a clean install of the minimum, stable and required version of DNN Platform for SHINE. Because the number and variety of extensions is vast and wide, we do not guarantee that the plugin will function with all third-party plugins, themes or browsers of any kind. We do not assume responsibility and will not be held responsible for any conflicts or compatibility issues that may occur due to third-party software. We assume no responsibility for any data loss as a result of installing or using SHINE. Should conflicts occur with third-party software, we may provide support at our discretion.

In no event shall Scotiacode Inc. or its distributors be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other financial loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use this Scotiacode Inc. product and related materials, even if Scotiacode Inc. has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

3. Code Modifications

Under no circumstance are you granted to decompile, modify or in any manner alter the source code or operations of the extension. Doing so will immediately result in the termination of our agreement.

3. Support

Scotiacode Inc. sells and distributes SHINE and other plugins "as is" and with no implied meaning that they will function exactly as you would like, or that they will be compatible with all third-party components and plugins.

Support and updates are granted for one year after the original purchase based on the license you have purchased. After one year is completed, the purchaser must renew their license in order to continue receiving support and updates for the items purchased. For purchases that include an automatically renewing subscription, support will be provided for as long as the subscription remains active. 

Support and updates for SHINE are provided if SHINE is actively in development. Should any one of the following occur, Scotiacode Inc. will no longer be responsible for providing support for SHINE:

  • SHINE is no longer actively developed as a viable product under Scotiacode Inc.
  • SHINE or Scotiacode Inc. is purchased or bought out by another company.
  • DNN Platform is no longer actively developed.

Whilst we attempt to provide the best support possible for our extensions, we do not guarantee that any support query can, or will be answered to the extent, or within a timeframe that the inquirer is completely satisfied.

4. Updates

Updates are available to license holders who have an active and valid subscription and license key for the product that they are updating. Updates are available if the license key generated from the purchase is valid and active.

5. License Usage

Scotiacode Inc. grants each customer one or more non-transferable license(s) to use the software for internal use, and as defined by the terms set in the customer's chosen license package.

Where the license package allows the software to be used on multiple DNN Platform installations the customer/license-holder may not sell the originally purchased license key provided by Scotiacode Inc., to other users of the license (such as clients) for commercial benefit. Additionally, the customer may not sublicense, to any person or entity, any rights to distribute the software or license key. Scotiacode Inc. will only provide support services to the original customer/license-holder with a legitimate license key and consider any other uses of this license key for support queries as fraudulent.

6. Extension Delivery

After we have processed your payment successfully, you will receive an email with your order number and other purchase information. Your license key is available in your account area along with your plugin downloads. You can download the plugin by logging into the account created for you when purchasing the plugin and clicking on the appropriate link.

Should you not receive an email containing your information, you can contact us through https://www.scotiacode.com/customer-support to request your purchase information.

Access to re-download purchased files will be granted so long as your license key is valid. If a license key expires, download access to the associated files will be discontinued until such time as the license key is renewed. This includes access to previous versions of extensions that were available at the time the license key was active.
