Template Policy, Purchase, And Licensing

Template Install

When you purchase a mini Monster Websites template, you will receive a contributor invitation email from Squarespace with a link to accept the template as your new demo website. We strive to have your template ready for you within 24 hours, but that timeframe may vary due to technical disruptions, weekends, or holidays. 

Your purchase of a Template includes only one installation as a new Squarespace 7.1 demo website.  

Please note:

  • We cannot access your site and reverse any changes that have been made to the initial template, or revert it back to the initial template.

  • If you don’t accept the contributor invitation email from Squarespace to begin your new demo website within 6 months of purchase, then you will have to repurchase the template so that we can install it again. 

  • Your template comes with a free trial of Squarespace. If you let this free trial run out, Squarespace will mark your website for deletion. If Squarespace has deleted your website, you will have to repurchase the template so that we can install it again. (Please avoid letting your trial run out by either asking Squarespace support for a trial extension, or by upgrading your site to a paid plan.)

Template Licensing

With each Website Template purchase, you will receive a limited license to use this template one time, for one website only. This nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license is limited to you alone and solely for a single-use to create a single website.  mini Monster Websites grants you access and permission to download one copy of the materials for transitory use individually, or for a single use in your business, strictly in accordance with all terms of this and any other applicable agreement. You can use it for yourself, a friend, or a client, but only one website can be built from the purchase of one template.  You will need to purchase another license (by purchasing another template) if you want to build another website using this design.

By purchasing a template, you agree that:

  • If you are using the template to build a design for a client, you are prohibited from claiming or promoting these designs as solely your own.

  • You may not resell the design or claim the design as your own. 

  • You may not suggest, use, copy, adapt, or represent any of our Products and Services in any way that suggests they were created by you.

  • You may not share the template, graphics, files, or any design elements provided in your purchase with anyone else.

  • You may not share your log-in or secured or protected access to our Website, Products and Services with another person or another business or business entity. 

  • You may not use our Products and Services in a manner that constitutes an infringement on our rights or in a manner that has not been authorized by us. 

If you violate this license by giving, sharing, or selling a copy of our Products and Services or access to the Products and Services to any third party, we reserve the right to invoice you for the licenses you have gifted to others, revoke your access to our Products and Services permanently, and/or sue for any and all damages.

Use of Photographic Assets in Template 

At the time of the template creation, any demo photography provided with the template was licensed to be used freely in the creative community.  

You may:

  • Reproduce up to 500,000 copies of the asset in all media, including product packaging, printed marketing materials, digital documents, or software.

  • Include the asset in email marketing, mobile advertising, or a broadcast or digital program if the expected number of viewers is fewer than 500,000.

You may not:

  • Distribute the stand-alone file.

  • Create merchandise, templates, or other products for resale or distribution where the primary value of the product is associated with the asset itself. For example, you can’t use the asset to create a poster, t-shirt, or coffee mug that someone would buy specifically because of the asset printed on it.

However, ultimate responsibility for lawful use of any images within the template falls to the buyer of the template. We hold no liability for any image licensing or copyright issues that may occur through your unlawful use of the supplied images. 

Media Release 

Your completed website design may be used in our template showcase, sales pages or on our social media for demonstration and promotion purposes.
