Also customers working with 3-rd party developers, should ensure that if a third party acquired the license for them, worked their site or customized the product further to suit their site requirements, signed previous with the third party an NDA agreement in order to respect our terms & conditions presented here. This measure should offer protection to our customers, in case that the third party is violating the terms & conditions. Of course in fraud attempts, where a refund is claimed and surely not granted by the payment processor authority, the license will be revoked immediately, proceeded by legal actions for illegal usage.
