What I am allowed and not allowed to do with the templates?
You can:
Build any website using the template in any way you like.
You cannot:
Resell or redistribute templates (like we do). Claim intellectual or exclusive ownership to any of our products, modified or unmodified. All products are property of content provider companies and individuals. Make more than one project using the same template (you have to purchase the same template once more in order to make another project with the same design).

What is the difference between unique and non-unique purchase?
Non-Unique Purchase:
Non-exclusive purchase means that other people can buy the template you have chosen some time later.
Unique Purchase:
Exclusive purchase guarantees that you are the last person to buy this template. After an exclusive purchase occurs the template is permanently removed from the sales directory and is never available to other customers again. Only you and people who bought the template before you will own it.

Is it reasonable to make Unique purchase of template that was already purchased before?
Yes. Because there is very very small chance that you will find same design online. There are more than 3,000,000,000 web pages online now according to stats on www.google.com (check at the bottom).

 

My transaction was suspended? Why? What can I do?
Such non tangible products like website templates are very easy target for carders (persons who use stolen credit card details in order to make purchases). That's why we developed advanced anti fraud protection system. This helps us to prevent fraud and keep website templates as rare as possible.

Most of website template sellers do not provide own anti fraud protection. This makes their products an easy target for carders. Carders spread templates around the world through 'warez' website's and 'warez' CDs.

Your transaction may be suspended when the anti fraud system marks it as a suspicious one. You will need to wait a few hours while our operator calls to merchant services provider and checks your transaction manually. Your details will be moved to white list if everything goes well. You will never be suspended again. Top of page

 

Should I buy the same template for every page on my site?
No, you buy it only once. After purchasing you may use the template as many times as you need for one website.

 

Is it possible to use templates for developing website's for my customers?
Yes. It is perfect for designers who want to offer their customers a high-quality design and also save time and money. Top of page

 

What are the advantages of purchasing a website template?
The major advantage is price:
You get a high quality design for just $20-$50. You will not have to hire a web designer or external web design studio.
Second advantage is time frame:
It usually takes 5-15 days for a good designer to produce a web page of such quality.

 

Is the license a one-time fee payment?
Yes, the payment for your template is a one-time fee without any additional charges. Top of page

 

What if I don't have a credit card or don't want to use it on the internet?
One benefit of using the internet for credit card transactions is the process is automated for both parties. Another is purchases made on-line are more secure than other cardholder not present transactions as they use an encrypted connection. We're sorry to report that we don't currently offer a non credit card purchase option.
