Terms Of Service And Acceptable Use Policies
These Terms Of Service And Acceptable Use Policies (“Terms and Policies”) are an essential part of your relationship with WpSupporter. By using your WpSupporter account, you agree to all of the Terms and Policies set out in this document.

The Service is provided to authorized persons or organizations (referred to in this document as “Subscriber” or “you”). Any use of the service is subject to any restrictions listed below. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by all of theses Terms and Policies.

WpSupporter is not the author/developer of any plugins or themes offered in its packages. All plugins and themes are provided through developer licenses that we have purchased. We depend on the developer of the components for support and updates. We are not responsible if the developer ceases providing support and/or updates.
2. Coverage. If you are an individual Subscriber, these Terms and Policies apply to all persons who gain access through your account.
