GPL License Policy

Last updated
24th March, 2026
All WordPress themes and plugins available on Themexplug are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This page explains what that means, what you are purchasing, and how we operate lawfully within the GPL framework.
Section 1

What is the GPL License?

The GNU General Public License (GPL) is a free software license that guarantees end users four core freedoms:

The Four GPL Freedoms
0
Run the software for any purpose, without restriction.
1
Study how the software works and modify it to suit your needs.
2
Redistribute copies of the software freely to anyone.
3
Distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

WordPress itself is licensed under the GPL, and all themes and plugins built for WordPress are considered derivative works, meaning they must also be GPL-licensed. This is why redistributing them is completely legal.

Section 2

Why We Can Sell These Products

Themexplug is not affiliated with, associated with, or endorsed by the developers of the original products.

However, under the GPL license, redistribution of the software (whether modified or unmodified) is explicitly permitted. We lawfully acquire original copies of themes and plugins from their official sources and redistribute them under the terms of the GPL.

This model is entirely legal and is the same model used by hundreds of GPL redistribution platforms worldwide. The GPL was specifically designed to allow this type of redistribution, ensuring software remains free and accessible.

Section 3

What You Are Paying For

When you purchase a membership or product from Themexplug, here is exactly what is and is not included:

What you get

  • Fast, easy download access from your dashboard
  • Regular manual updates as new versions become available

Section 4

Updates

We regularly update the products available in our library to ensure you have access to the latest versions. Updates are provided manually and depend on our ability to obtain new versions from their official sources.

  • Updates do not happen automatically inside your WordPress dashboard.
  • When a new version is available, you can download it directly from your Themexplug dashboard.
  • You will need to manually upload the new version to your WordPress installation.
  • We aim to update the library promptly, but cannot guarantee immediate availability of every new release.
Section 5

Support Disclaimer

We do not provide direct technical support for third-party products. If you need product-specific support such as feature usage, troubleshooting, or customization, we recommend purchasing a license directly from the original developer.

We do offer basic support for the following:

  • Download issues and file access problems.
  • Account access and membership queries.
  • General installation guidance for WordPress themes and plugins.
  • Requests for specific products to be added to the library.

You can reach our support team via email or WhatsApp and we will respond within 2 hours during business hours.

Section 6

Intellectual Property Rights

All product names, trademarks, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners. Themexplug is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, or in any way officially connected with the original third-party developers whose products appear in our library.

All products distributed through Themexplug are made available under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Themexplug's own branding, website design, and marketing content remain exclusively our intellectual property.

Section 7

Important Legal Note

The GNU GPL does not grant trademark rights. While the software (themes and plugins) is freely distributable under the GPL, the trademarked names, branding, and logos of the original developers are protected and are not included in any license you receive from Themexplug.

By purchasing from Themexplug, you confirm that you understand the GPL license and its implications, including what is and is not covered by your purchase.
