Key Licensing Information About Runase

To ensure you are using Runase in compliance with Shopify's Terms of Service, it is essential to have a valid license. Here are some important details to help you understand theme licensing with Shopify.

Understanding Theme Licensing

• Purchased from Shopify Theme Store: Your license for Runase must be purchased directly from the Shopify Theme Store, which is the sole authorized platform for acquiring Shopify-compliant themes.

• One License Per Store: Each Shopify store you operate requires its own, separate license for Runase. This means if you own two or more stores, you need a license for each store.

❌ Unauthorized Sources: Themes purchased from third-party marketplaces such as Fiverr, eBay, Etsy, Creative Market, Template Monster, or development agencies are not valid and violate Shopify's policies

Theme License Transfers

• One License Per Store: Under Shopify's Terms of Service, a single theme license is valid for a single Shopify store. You are not permitted to use the same license on multiple stores.

• Transfer Restrictions: You may transfer a license only if you have completely closed* the store on which the license was initially used.

           *Closing a store means deactivating your shopify subscription.

• Shopify Support Required: To transfer a license, you must contact Shopify Support's billing department directly for assistance as they control the licenses. We, as the developers of the theme, cannot perform this transfer on your behalf, as per Shopify policy. However, We actively monitor theme licenses to ensure all users are adhering to Shopify's policies. If you are contacted to verify the license please respond promptly.

Actions if You Have an Unlicensed Theme

If your theme was set up by an agency, designer, or developer, you might not have been aware of the licensing issue. Please contact them to confirm they have purchased a license for the theme and have passed that license on to you. If this is not possible, follow the instructions below:

• Purchase a License: The most direct path to resolution is to purchase a license directly from the Shopify Theme Store.

• Choose Another Theme: If a valid license is not feasible, you will have to opt for a different theme.

A valid license can be acquired by purchasing the Runase theme from the Shopify Theme Store.

✅ Please refer to Shopify's Terms of Service for comprehensive details on theme licensing policies and intellectual property rights.

Handling Shopify DMCA Notifications

ℹ️ A DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notification from Shopify indicates that you are likely using an unlicensed theme. This could result in the removal of your theme or suspension of your account.

✅ Please promptly follow the Shopify DMCA email instructions to address the concerns and avoid any disruption to your store.
