Tenanto Boilerplate License Agreement
IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE.
This is a commercial software license agreement. The Tenanto multi-tenant SaaS boilerplate (the "Software") is proprietary commercial software. It is not free software, open-source software, or software released under any permissive license such as MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD, or GPL. The Software is protected by copyright law, international treaty provisions, and other applicable intellectual property laws.
By downloading, installing, copying, accessing, or otherwise using the Software, you (the "Licensee") agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not download, install, or use the Software.
1. Definitions
- "Author" means the individual or entity identified as the copyright holder of the Software and listed as the seller of the Software on the applicable marketplace or invoice.
- "End Product" means a single, finished SaaS application built by the Licensee (for the Licensee's own business or for a single client) that incorporates the Software or derivative works of the Software.
- "End User" means any person who uses or accesses the End Product.
- "License Fee" means the amount paid by the Licensee to acquire the Software, as stated on the applicable marketplace listing, invoice, or purchase receipt.
2. Copyright and Ownership
Copyright © Tenanto. All rights reserved.
The Software — including all source code, documentation, configuration files, database migrations, views, images, icons, fonts, and any other assets bundled with it — is the exclusive intellectual property of the Author and the Author's licensors. This Agreement grants the Licensee a license to use the Software under the conditions set out below; it does not transfer ownership of the Software or any component of it.
The Licensee owns the End Product it builds on top of the Software, including any original content, business logic, branding, data, and custom code contributed by the Licensee. Ownership of the End Product does not extend to the underlying Software.
3. License Grant
Subject to the Licensee's full compliance with this Agreement and timely payment of the applicable License Fee, the Author grants the Licensee a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to:
- Install and run the Software on servers controlled by the Licensee for the purpose of building a single End Product;
- Modify the source code of the Software to customize it for the specific needs of that End Product;
- Deploy the Software (or derivative works based on it) as part of that single End Product, for the Licensee's own business purposes or for a single paying client.
Every License Fee covers one End Product. If the Licensee wishes to use the Software in multiple distinct End Products, one license must be purchased per End Product.
4. Purchase Channels
4.1 Envato / CodeCanyon
If the Licensee acquired the Software through the Envato or CodeCanyon marketplace, the applicable Envato license — Regular License or Extended License — governs the Licensee's use in addition to this Agreement.
- Regular License. Use in a single End Product whose End Users do not pay a fee to access it.
- Extended License. Use in a single End Product whose End Users may pay a fee to access it. Required for paid SaaS applications.
Where the Envato license terms and this Agreement conflict, the Envato terms control, except for the restrictions in Section 5 of this Agreement, which apply at all times regardless of the purchase channel.
The current full text of the Envato licenses is available at https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard.
4.2 Direct Purchase
If the Licensee acquired the Software directly from the Author (for example, through the Author's own website or a bespoke invoice), this Agreement governs in full. The Licensee's invoice or purchase receipt specifies the tier, activation scope, and any additional terms.
5. Restrictions
Regardless of the purchase channel above, the Licensee may not:
- Redistribute the Software, or any derivative work based on the Software, as a standalone product, template, kit, boilerplate, framework, skeleton, starter, or scaffold — whether for free or for a fee — to any third party.
- Sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, or otherwise transfer the Software or any derivative work to any third party, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (the right to deploy the Software as part of the Licensee's single End Product).
- Sell, publish, or otherwise make available access to the unmodified source code of the Software to any third party, including in modified form where the modifications are minor, cosmetic, or contrived to circumvent this restriction.
- Build a Competing Product — namely, another multi-tenant SaaS boilerplate, starter kit, code template, or similar development asset intended to be sold, licensed, distributed, or otherwise made available to third parties. (The Licensee MAY build any end-user SaaS application — for example, a CRM, project management tool, billing platform, or HR system — on top of the Software, even if similar applications exist on the market. This restriction targets only the sale of the Software itself, not End Products built with it.)
- Remove, obscure, alter, or modify any copyright notice, license notice, proprietary marking, trademark, or author attribution contained in the Software.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any portion of the Software delivered in non-source form, except and only to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
- Disclose, share, publish, leak, or otherwise make available any license key, download link, private repository access, or purchase credentials associated with the Software.
- Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights, or to build an End Product whose primary purpose is to do so.
- Circumvent any technical measure used by the Author to enforce this Agreement, track activations, or protect the Software against unauthorized use.
Any attempted action in violation of this Section 5 is void and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, entitling the Author to immediate termination under Section 11.
6. Third-Party Components
The Software incorporates third-party open-source components — including,
without limitation, the Laravel framework, FilamentPHP, Livewire, TailwindCSS,
Laravel Cashier, various Spatie packages, and others. Each such component
is governed by its own license. A complete list is provided in the
THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md file bundled with the Software.
Nothing in this Agreement limits the Licensee's rights or obligations under those third-party licenses. The Licensee is solely responsible for complying with them, including any attribution, notice, or source-disclosure requirements that apply to derivative works.
7. Support and Updates
The support term included with the Licensee's purchase is defined by the purchase channel, the license tier, and any add-ons acquired at the time of purchase. Support, when included, covers:
- Defect fixes for bugs in the Software as originally shipped;
- Answers to reasonable questions about documented features;
- Access to updates released during the active support term.
Support does not cover:
- Installation on the Licensee's server or hosting platform;
- Customization, feature development, or modifications beyond what is described in the documentation;
- Third-party package installation, configuration, or debugging;
- Hosting, DevOps, deployment, performance tuning, or monitoring for the Licensee's environment;
- Rewriting, re-architecting, or repurposing the Software to fit an unrelated use case;
- Support for modifications made by the Licensee or third parties.
Updates released after the Licensee's support term has expired may be provided at the Author's discretion and may require a renewal fee or a new purchase.
8. Warranty Disclaimer
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. THE AUTHOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET THE LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS, THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE IS FREE OF VIRUSES, MALWARE, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE LICENSEE ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, AND RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USING THE SOFTWARE.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM THE AUTHOR OR THROUGH THE SOFTWARE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF — OR INABILITY TO USE — THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
THE AUTHOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE LICENSEE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT — WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE — SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL LICENSE FEE ACTUALLY PAID BY THE LICENSEE TO THE AUTHOR FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THEM AND THAT THE AUTHOR WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT IT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to the Licensee. In such jurisdictions, the Author's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
The Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Author and the Author's affiliates, licensors, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees) arising out of or relating to:
(a) the Licensee's use of the Software in violation of this Agreement; (b) the End Product and any content, feature, or business decision associated with it; (c) the Licensee's violation of any applicable law or regulation; (d) the Licensee's violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual right; (e) any claim made by an End User against the Author that arises out of the End Product rather than the Software itself.
The Author will provide the Licensee with prompt notice of any such claim, reasonable cooperation in the defense, and authority to control the defense and settlement (provided that no settlement affecting the Author's rights is made without the Author's prior written consent).
11. Termination
This Agreement is effective on the date the Licensee first accepts its terms or first uses the Software, whichever occurs first, and continues until terminated as provided below.
The Author may terminate this Agreement immediately, with or without notice, if the Licensee materially breaches this Agreement — in particular, any of the restrictions in Section 5. The Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use the Software and destroying all copies in its possession.
Upon termination for any reason, the Licensee must:
- Immediately stop using the Software;
- Delete all copies of the Software from its systems, backups, and development environments;
- Remove any instance of the Software deployed as part of the End Product (provided that the Licensee may retain a reasonable archival copy to satisfy legal or tax record-keeping obligations).
Sections 2 (Copyright and Ownership), 5 (Restrictions), 8 (Warranty Disclaimer), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 12 (Export Compliance), 13 (Governing Law and Venue), and 14 (General) survive termination of this Agreement.
Termination does not entitle the Licensee to a refund of any License Fees, except as expressly provided by the applicable marketplace refund policy or mandatory consumer protection law.
12. Export Compliance
The Licensee agrees to comply with all applicable export control laws and economic sanctions, including those of the Czech Republic, the European Union, the United States, and any other jurisdiction that may apply. The Licensee may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Software to any destination, person, or entity prohibited under such laws. The Licensee represents that it is not located in, and is not a national or resident of, any country subject to a comprehensive embargo, and is not identified on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
13. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement — or its breach, termination, or validity — shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Czech Republic, and the Licensee consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
Nothing in this Section prevents the Author from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
14. General
Entire Agreement. This Agreement — together with any applicable marketplace terms (such as the Envato Market Terms), the purchase receipt, and any written amendment signed by the Author — constitutes the entire agreement between the Licensee and the Author regarding the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings on the subject.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by an enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
No Waiver. The Author's failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. The Licensee may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the Author's prior written consent. Any attempt to do so is void. The Author may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the Licensee and the Author. Neither party has authority to bind the other.
Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform (other than the Licensee's payment obligations) caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemic, government action, strikes, or failures of internet or telecommunications infrastructure.
Notices. Legal notices to the Author must be sent to the email address listed on the marketplace item page or on the Author's invoice. Notices to the Licensee may be sent to the email address associated with the Licensee's purchase record.
Language. This Agreement was prepared in English. In the event of a conflict between the English text and any translated version, the English text controls.
15. Contact
For licensing questions, activation issues, or refund requests, contact the Author at the email address shown on the Licensee's purchase receipt or on the marketplace item page. Do not post licensing disputes in public forums, reviews, or social media before giving the Author a reasonable opportunity to resolve them privately.
Legal disclaimer. This document is provided as the commercial license text for the Tenanto boilerplate. It is not legal advice. Jurisdictions vary, and specific situations may require specific language. The Author recommends that both the Licensee and any potential Licensor have this Agreement reviewed by qualified counsel in their own jurisdiction before signing, publishing, or relying on it in court.
