Terms And Conditions

At MemberShops, our mission is to provide an easy-to-use web-shop solution for publishing and selling digital products. We offer an e-commerce SaaS platform and plugin that transforms your WordPress site into a full-featured web-shop or membership site. Our software provides customers with essential functionality to publish and sell digital products, manage their store, accept payments, and grow their business.

Our website grants you a non-exclusive, limited license to use the MemberShops SaaS platform and related plugins sold through our website (https://membershops.com) (the “Products/Software”) in accordance with these Terms of Service (the “License”). This License is issued and operated by our company, ZINIC j.d.o.o. (“us,” “we,” “our,” or “MemberShops”).

Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Services in any manner or for any purpose that would violate, or have the effect of violating, any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, or any rights of third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, laws or rights regarding copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary or property rights, false advertising, telemarketing, unfair competition, defamation, invasion of privacy, rights of celebrity, or any other federal or state law, rule, or regulation.

We acknowledge that our software can be used in ways beyond our control or prediction. We reserve the right to refuse our services (including licensing, priority support, and any affiliated services) to any organization or person at our sole discretion.

While you have the right to use the Products, you must not misuse them. For example, you are prohibited from deconstructing our Products to access the underlying source code, publishing content that promotes hate or violence, or violating others’ copyrights. You must not use the Products to distribute malware or infect other devices. Furthermore, any illegal use of the Products is strictly forbidden.

Refund Policy

If you experience difficulties with our products, we offer a full refund within 14 days of the original purchase. To request a refund, please contact us through https://membershops.com/contact.

Subscriptions, Updates, and Maintenance

An active subscription is required to download and use the latest version of the shop plugin. While an active subscription is not necessary for the software to function properly, it is required to access the latest versions and automatic updates.

Automatic updates are available to license holders with an active and valid subscription. If there are issues updating your plugin or if your host does not support automatic updates, plugin updates can be downloaded from your account area on our website.

To ensure the functionality and security of our Products, we regularly maintain and update them. Maintenance may be scheduled or unscheduled. In both cases, we strive to perform maintenance during times that minimally impact your business.

License Usage

MemberShops grants each customer one or more non-transferable license(s) to use the software or sell products via the MemberShops platform on the licensed domain.

You may not sublicense any rights to distribute the software or products to any person or entity. MemberShops will only provide services to the original license-holder for a licensed domain name and will consider any other uses as fraudulent.

Delivery

Upon successful processing of your payment, you will receive an email containing your account login details, order number, and other purchase information. If you do not receive this email, please contact us at https://membershops.com/contact to request your purchase information.

Your licensed domains are managed in your account area along with your plugin downloads.

If you have purchased the plugin only:

You can download the plugin by logging into your account and clicking on the appropriate link. Access to re-download purchased files will be granted as long as your yearly subscription is valid. If a subscription expires, download access to the associated files will be discontinued until the subscription is renewed.

If you have purchased a ready-made shop or membership site:

Your shop will be installed within 48 hours on the licensed domain after receiving the hosting panel details and aMember license key. Please note that this 48-hour timeframe does not include weekends; our working hours are Monday to Friday. We reserve the right to extend this to 72 hours in case of unforeseen issues. If installation takes more than 72 hours for any reason, we will issue you a full refund upon request.

Once the licensed shop has been installed, the shop domain cannot be changed without a re-installation. If you wish to change the domain, this task will be subject to development fees depending on the complexity of the shop and the time required to complete the task.

Support

Support and updates are granted for one year after the original purchase. After one year, the purchaser must renew their membership 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.

ZINIC sells and distributes the MemberShops platform and WordPress plugins “as is” with no implied guarantee that they will function exactly as you desire or that they will be compatible with all third-party components and plugins. We do not provide support services for WordPress itself or for any WordPress plugins that we have not developed. While we may assist with minor issues that arise, for more complex problems, you will need to contact the plugin developers directly.

Support for plugins sold and distributed by MemberShops is only available to those with an active, paid license.

We provide instruction and/or supporting documentation regarding setup, configuration, and technical troubleshooting as it pertains to our products. We do not provide support for third-party integrations and may ask you to disable these add-ons to better assist you. Requests for customizations, development assistance, or guidance on altering the functionality of a product outside of its intended use are subject to hourly fees and depend on our availability.

Support and updates for plugins are provided as long as the plugin is actively in development. ZINIC will no longer be responsible for providing support for the plugin if any of the following occur:

  • MemberShops (the plugin) is no longer actively developed as a viable product under ZINIC j.d.o.o.
  • MemberShops (the plugin) or the parent company is purchased or bought out by another company.
  • WordPress is no longer actively developed.

While we strive to provide the best support possible for our plugins, we do not guarantee that any particular support query can or will be answered to the extent or within a timeframe that fully satisfies the inquirer.

License holders cannot distribute, freely give away, or resell their license. The license is only transferable by contacting us and requesting an official transfer to a new owner. The license is intended to be used on the license holder’s domain(s). Only the license holder is permitted to request support or access support resources.

Hosting and Shop Backup

We will install and configure the shop on a hosting account of your choice. It is your responsibility to choose a hosting company, purchase an account, and provide us with access.
