eFrog License
eFrog Plain English License Agreement
No-one likes to have to talk about this stuff. There’s always a document written in that language that looks like English, but actually isn’t (it’s legalese). George doesn’t like it either. George would rather just sit you down over a coffee, and make an agreement. An honour system-based agreement. Here’s what George would say:
“There are a few things we need to agree on. Let’s get them on the table, in plain English.”
So, let’s do just that:
Definitions
“You” means the person* or company who is being licensed to use the theme.
“person” means legal persons, including non-individual clients i.e. Close Corporations, South African companies, foreign companies, listed companies, partnerships and trusts.
“We,” “us” and “our” means eFrog.
“Theme” means all the software, images and documents which make up an eFrog WordPress theme, and includes both “free” and “paid-for” themes.
“non-exclusive” means that we reserve the right to grant this license to more than one person or company, at the same time.
Protection
The Theme is protected by South African copyright laws and international treaties.
Title
We remain the owner of all right, title and interest in the Theme.
License Grant

Things you May Do
You may:
Copy the Theme for back up and archival purposes, as long as the original and each copy is kept in your possession and that your use of the Theme does not exceed that allowed in the “License Grant” .
