By creating an account, purchasing a package, activating a license, accessing a CMSPost installation, or otherwise using CMSPost, you agree to these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. If you use CMSPost for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.
1. Agreement and scope
“CMSPost,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the owner and operator of the CMSPost platform. “Agency,” “you,” and “your” refer to the person or organization purchasing, accessing, installing, or using CMSPost.
These Terms apply to CMSPost websites, software packages, licensed installations, agency and client portals, publishing tools, integrations, communications, reputation tools, updates, and documentation. Additional terms accepted during checkout, activation, or a program application are incorporated into these Terms.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- Provide accurate registration, billing, contact, and installation information.
- Protect credentials, license keys, access tokens, encryption keys, and recovery methods.
- Create access only for authorized team members and clients within package limits.
- Remove access promptly when authorization ends and report suspected compromise.
- Do not share one agency license across unrelated organizations unless expressly permitted.
3. Limited software license
Subject to payment, activation, package limits, and compliance, CMSPost grants the Agency a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the authorized package for the Agency's internal operations and services to its own clients.
The license does not transfer ownership of source code, architecture, interfaces, documentation, licensing controls, update systems, integration methods, data structures, or other proprietary materials. Authorized white-label branding does not transfer ownership of the underlying software.
4. Five-Year Restricted Use, Non-Replication, and Competitive Development Covenant
CMSPost contains proprietary software, source code, workflows, interfaces, architecture, documentation, data structures, publishing systems, licensing controls, update systems, integration methods, configuration methods, and confidential business information (“CMSPost Proprietary Materials”).
During the subscription and license term, and for five years after termination, expiration, cancellation, or deactivation, the Agency shall not use CMSPost Proprietary Materials to develop, create, commission, assist, finance, market, license, distribute, or operate a substantially similar or competing software platform.
Except where expressly authorized in writing or where applicable law does not permit a restriction, the Agency shall not:
- Copy, reproduce, distribute, sublicense, sell, lease, transfer, disclose, or provide CMSPost source code or system files to an unauthorized person.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, extract, reconstruct, or attempt to discover protected source code, algorithms, architecture, workflows, or integration methods.
- Modify, remove, disable, evade, or circumvent licensing controls, activation controls, domain limits, update protections, package restrictions, security controls, attribution, or ownership notices.
- Create derivative works, cloned systems, substantially similar applications, copied interfaces, copied workflows, or repackaged versions based on CMSPost Proprietary Materials.
- Use CMSPost code, documentation, screenshots, files, workflows, schemas, business methods, integration logic, or licensing logic to train or assist a person, contractor, company, or AI system to replicate or compete with CMSPost.
- Allow an unauthorized developer, contractor, consultant, employee, affiliate, customer, or third party to access, retain, inspect, download, copy, or modify CMSPost Proprietary Materials.
The five-year period applies to competitive use of proprietary materials. Copyright ownership, confidentiality duties, anti-circumvention rights, license restrictions, and trade-secret obligations survive for the maximum period permitted by law. Trade-secret duties continue while the information remains legally protected.
Unauthorized copying, disclosure, circumvention, or replication may cause irreparable harm. CMSPost may seek suspension, license termination, injunctive relief, damages, investigation costs, and other available remedies.
5. Authorized configuration and customization
The restrictions do not prohibit normal use of documented CMSPost controls, including agency branding, client profiles, content, SEO settings, themes, layouts, publishing configuration, integrations, users, deployment, updates, APIs, webhooks, and OAuth procedures.
Changes to core system files outside documented or expressly authorized methods are performed at the Agency's risk and may affect support, security, updates, compatibility, or license status.
6. Packages, billing, renewals, and taxes
Pricing, capacity, billing intervals, trial terms, and included features are displayed during checkout or in the package manager. Paid subscriptions may renew automatically according to the selected interval until canceled.
- You authorize the payment processor to charge recurring fees and applicable taxes.
- Package changes may affect future pricing, limits, and renewal charges.
- Failed or reversed payment may result in suspension or deactivation.
- Except where required by law or stated during checkout, fees already earned are non-refundable.
7. Content, client data, and responsibilities
You retain rights in content and data that you or your clients lawfully provide. You grant CMSPost the limited rights reasonably necessary to host, process, transmit, display, back up, secure, and provide the requested services.
You are responsible for permissions, consents, licenses, and legal bases for client data, personal information, images, reviews, communications, claims, published content, and connected accounts. Maintain appropriate independent backups.
8. Third-party services
CMSPost may connect with payment processors, social networks, email providers, search platforms, hosting companies, and website systems. Their services are governed by their own terms, approvals, quotas, availability, and requirements. CMSPost is not responsible for third-party suspensions, API changes, outages, denied permissions, account restrictions, pricing, or data practices.
9. Security
Use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information handled through the installation, including secure hosting, current software, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication where available, controlled access, protected credentials, encrypted connections, and timely removal of unauthorized users. Do not test, scan, exploit, or bypass CMSPost or another customer's system without written authorization.
10. Updates and availability
CMSPost may release security fixes, compatibility updates, improvements, deprecations, or package changes. Agencies are responsible for backups and applying updates through authorized procedures. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
11. Suspension and termination
CMSPost may suspend or terminate access for nonpayment, security risk, unlawful use, material breach, infringement, misuse of integrations, circumvention, unauthorized distribution, or conduct that threatens CMSPost, customers, partners, or third parties.
Upon termination, the right to use the software ends except for a written transition period. Ownership, confidentiality, restricted-use, payment, disclaimer, liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions survive where applicable.
12. Disclaimers, liability, and indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CMSPost is provided “as is” and “as available.” CMSPost does not guarantee search rankings, advertising results, revenue, traffic, leads, social reach, review outcomes, third-party approvals, uninterrupted availability, or compatibility with every hosting environment.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CMSPost will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, lost business, or interruption. Aggregate liability will not exceed fees paid for the affected service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CMSPost and its owners, personnel, contractors, and providers from claims arising from your content, client services, connected accounts, legal violations, infringement, breach, or misuse.
13. General terms
- Changes: CMSPost may update these Terms prospectively and present material changes through the website, account, checkout, activation, or email.
- Assignment: You may not transfer these Terms or a license without written consent.
- Severability: An unenforceable provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary; the remainder continues.
- No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Governing law: Unless another written agreement controls, these Terms are governed by applicable U.S. law and the law of the state in which CMSPost's principal place of business is located, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
