Refunds:
Given the nature of digital content that can be downloaded instantly after a purchase has been made; there is no “trial” or “grace period” after purchasing a subscription which means all sales are final. Once you have downloaded an item, there is no way to “return” it. As such refunds can not be provided unless we have made changes to these terms that materially affect you to your detriment. In such a case a pro rata refund will be provided for any whole unused months.

We will assess refund requests on their merits but generally, there is no obligation to provide a refund if:

b. you subscribed by mistake;
c. you ask for goodwill;
d. you lack the technical ability to make the item work;
e. you can no longer download the item because it has been removed from our website;
f. you are in breach of our fair play policy

So, in the event that a refund is provided, it will be refunded minus the fees we have been charged.
Product Support:
The nature of WordPress plugins and themes means that items are provided “as is”, with no implied warranty that they will function exactly as you wish or with all third-party components and plugins. We are unable to provide technical support for the downloads. Third-party products provided are supported by their authors and not by GPL PASS.

Product Updates:
When you sign up you are charged on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) until you cancel, which you can do at any time.

You can nonetheless continue to use the items as per the terms of the GPL license.
Fair play and conduct:
Your use of GPL PASS including the content and the items must comply with our policies from time to time including any fair use policy. Being a Subscriber is not an automatic right, it is a benefit for those who follow our reasonable rules. We hope that you will be with us for a long time. But we may using reasonable discretion, decide whether or not your use of GPL PASS complies with these terms. We can suspend or terminate your subscription account at any time for any reason (acting reasonably of course) including:
- if you breach these terms;
b. if you act in a way that does not align with the values of our community; or
c. if you act in a way that could cause us or others harm.
If we do decide to permanently terminate your GPL PASS account you must not apply for a new account as unfortunately, you will no longer be welcome.
No refunds will be provided to customers who have their accounts terminated. Examples of reasons for termination may include:
- Abusive behavior and/or excessive negativity towards our staff and/or other customers;

Availability:
We strive to have GPL PASS available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but you know how the internet works: occasionally you might not be able to access GPL PASS, and this might happen for any reason, at any time, with or without notice, or at our absolute discretion. We might also change aspects of how GPL PASS works, including the kinds of items available on our site. We will not be liable to you for any loss you suffer as a result of these things.
Third-party:
If you’re agreeing to these terms on behalf of someone else then you’re promising to us that you have the full legal authority to bind that third party. Remember that only real people can subscribe to GPL PASS
Consumer laws:
In some places, there may be non-excludable warranties, guarantees or other rights (‘non-excludable consumer guarantees’). We do not exclude, restrict or modify non-excludable consumer guarantees in these terms. Except for non-excludable consumer guarantees, we are bound only by the express promises made in these terms. Our liability for breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited, at our option, to replacing or paying the cost of replacing the relevant Item or service, (unless the non-excludable consumer guarantee says otherwise). You must not use an item in violation of any export laws that apply to you.
Blocking you, disabling your subscription or refusing to process a payment:
We may block you, terminate your subscription, or refuse to process a payment if we reasonably believe there is a risk associated with you, your subscription, or that payment, including if it breaches a law or regulation. Examples of where we might do these include transactions where the payment is from or to a person or country sanctioned by an authority (like the United Nations, or the European Member States); or where we reasonably believe there is a legal or regulatory risk or a risk of loss being suffered by us or our members. You promise that you are not located in a sanctioned country and are not on a sanctioned person list. We may also block members from a country if we can’t make payments to or from that country. You should check what payment methods are available in your country for making payments. We may take any of the actions stated in this section without notice. As our site is global, there are different laws that may apply and these may restrict our relationship with you.
Relationship between the parties:
Nothing in these terms is to be construed as constituting a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and us, or between you and any other member. Neither you nor us can bind each other in any way.
Notices:
Any notice you send us must be submitted via email. Any notice we send to you will be emailed to the email address you provided to us.
Changes to these terms:
We may change these terms at any time and, if we make changes, we will take reasonable steps to let our Subscribers know about the changes. You can also keep track of whether changes have been made to our terms by referring to the version and effective date at the footer of the terms. If a change we make has a material effect on you to your detriment then you may, upon demonstrating that detriment to us, cancel your subscription in accordance with section 7 above. However, if you continue to use GPL PASS after the changes are made, then you will be agreeing to the changes regardless of the amount of time that has elapsed. Whether a change has a material effect on you to your detriment depends on the nature of the change and your particular circumstances. For example, a change that causes you to incur increased transaction fees, or which removes an entire category of items, could have a material effect on the amount of value you get out of our website.
The removal of individual items or a minor clarifying change to the terms will not typically have a material effect on you to your detriment.
Interpretation:
Words like ‘include’ and ‘including’ are not words of limitation and where anything is within our discretion we mean our sole discretion.
