Email templates and components for Ruby on Rails

Personal License

RailsNotes grants you an on-going, non-exclusive license to use the Components and Templates.

The license grants permission to one individual (the Licensee) to access and use the Components and Templates.

You can:

Use the Components and Templates to create unlimited End Products.
Modify the Components and Templates to create derivative components and templates. Those components and templates are subject to this license.
Use the Components and Templates to create End Products where the End Product is sold to End Users.
Use the Components and Templates to create End Products that are open source and freely available to End Users.

You cannot:

Use the Components and Templates to create End Products for Clients.
Share your access to the Components and Templates with any other individuals.
Use the Components and Templates to create End Products that are designed to allow an End User to build their own End Products using the Components and Templates or derivatives of the Components and Templates.
Re-distribute the Components and Templates or derivatives of the Components and Templates separately from an End Product, neither in code or as design assets.
Use the Components and Templates to produce anything that may be deemed by RailsNotes, in their sole and absolute discretion, to be competitive or in conflict with the business of RailsNotes.

Example usage

Examples of usage allowed by the license:

Creating a personal website by yourself.
Creating a commercial SaaS application (like an invoicing app for example) where end users have to pay a fee to use the application.
Creating a commercial self-hosted web application that is sold to end users for a one-time fee.
Creating a web application where the primary purpose is clearly not to simply re-distribute the components (like a conference organization app that uses the starter kit for its foundation, for example) that is free and open source, where the source code is publicly available.

Examples of usage not allowed by the license:

Creating a website or web application for a client that will be owned by that client.
Creating a repository of your favorite RailsNotes UI components or templates (or derivatives based on RailsNotes UI components or templates) and publishing it publicly.
Creating a version of RailsNotes UI using a different templating language (ie: HAML alternatives to our ERB templates) and making it available either for sale or for free.
Create a Figma or Sketch UI kit based on the RailsNotes UI component designs.
Creating a "email builder" project where end users can build their own websites or email templates using components or templates included with or derived from RailsNotes UI.
Creating a theme, template, or project starter kit using the components or templates and making it available either for sale or for free.

In simple terms, use RailsNotes UI for anything you like as long as it doesn't compete with RailsNotes UI. Furthermore, the personal license limits you to creating End Products for End Users — it prohibits you from creating End Products for Clients.
