License Usage
WP Simple Pay grants each customer one or more non-transferable license(s) to use the software for internal use, and as defined by the terms set in the customer’s chosen license package.

Additionally, the customer may not sublicense, to any person or entity, any rights to distribute the software or license key. WP Simple Pay will only provide support services to the original customer/license-holder with a legitimate license key, and consider any other uses of this license key for support queries as fraudulent.

Support
Sandhills Development, LLC sells and distributes WP Simple Pay and other plugins “as is” and with no implied meaning that they will function exactly as you would like, or that they will be compatible with all third-party components and plugins. We do not provide support services for WordPress itself or other WordPress plugins we have not developed.
Support for plugins sold and distributed by WP Simple Pay is only available for those who have an active, paid license.
We will provide instruction and/or supporting documentation regarding setup, configuration, and technical troubleshooting as it pertains to our products.

We do not provide customizations, development assistance, or guidance on how to change the functionality of a product outside of its intended use.
Support and updates are granted for one year after the original purchase based on the license you have purchased. After one year is completed, the purchaser must renew their license in order to continue receiving support and updates for the items purchased. For purchases that include an automatically renewing subscription, support will be provided for as long as the subscription remains active.
Support and updates for plugins sold are provided as long as the plugin is actively in development. Should any one of the following occur, Sandhills Development, LLC will no longer be responsible for providing support for the plugin:
– WP Simple Pay (the plugin) is no longer actively developed as a viable product under Sandhills Development, LLC.
– WP Simple Pay (the plugin) or the parent company is purchased or bought out by another company.
– WordPress is no longer actively developed.
– Stripe (https://stripe.com) discontinues their service or is no longer actively maintained.
While we attempt to provide the best support possible for our plugins, we do not guarantee that any particular support query can, or will be answered to the extent, or within a timeframe that the inquirer is completely satisfied.
License holders cannot distribute, freely giveaway, or resell their license key. The license key is only transferable by contacting us and requesting an official transfer of the license to a new owner. The license is intended to be used on the license holders website(s). Client site usage is permitted in situations where the license holder maintains an ongoing relationship with the client as a consultant. Only the license holder is permitted to request support or access support resources.
License holders are not permitted to re-post support content or documentation on any external websites, social media outlets, etc. Posting screen captures of this content is also prohibited.

Your privacy is very important to us. At Sandhills Development, LLC we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

Sandhills Development, LLC operates the WP Simple Pay website (https://wpsimplepay.com). It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, WP Simple Pay collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WP Simple Pay’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WP Simple Pay’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WP Simple Pay may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
WP Simple Pay also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. WP Simple Pay only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to WP Simple Pay’s websites choose to interact with WP Simple Pay in ways that require WP Simple Pay to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WP Simple Pay gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive WP Simple Pay updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, WP Simple Pay collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WP Simple Pay. WP Simple Pay does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
WP Simple Pay may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, WP Simple Pay may monitor the most popular pages on the wpsimplepay.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. WP Simple Pay may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WP Simple Pay does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
WP Simple Pay discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on WP Simple Pay’s behalf or to provide services available at WP Simple Pay’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using WP Simple Pay’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. WP Simple Pay will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, WP Simple Pay discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when WP Simple Pay believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WP Simple Pay, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a WP Simple Pay website and have supplied your email address, WP Simple Pay may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with WP Simple Pay and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WP Simple Pay takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
