PlugPress WordPress Plugin Terms of Service (GPLv3-Compatible)

Last updated: September 8, 2025

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of PlugPress LLC’s WordPress plugins and related services. By downloading, installing, activating, or using any PlugPress plugin or related service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Plain English heads‑up: Our plugin code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3). These Terms govern the services around the code—accounts, updates, paid features, support, telemetry, and branding. If there’s ever a conflict about rights in the plugin code itself, GPLv3 controls.

1. Who we are

PlugPress LLC (“PlugPress“, “we“, “us“, or “our“).

2. What these Terms cover

These Terms apply to:

  • All current PlugPress WordPress plugins: leanForms, leanSMTP, leanKB, leanDash, leanOptin, leanSend, and leanAnalytics (collectively, the “Plugins”).
  • Any associated websites, dashboards, APIs, cloud or hosted features, documentation, and support that we provide (collectively, the “Services”).

Excluded: These Terms do not change the license of the plugin code, which is GPLv3.

3. Software license — GPLv3

The plugin source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Among other things, this means you may run, study, share, and modify the code; distribute your modified versions; and you must provide recipients the same freedoms under GPLv3. You must include appropriate copyright and license notices in redistributions.

Priority of license: If these Terms ever conflict with GPLv3 as to rights in the code, GPLv3 governs. Rights in non‑code assets (e.g., our names, logos, hosted services, and proprietary cloud‑side code) are not licensed under GPLv3 unless we expressly say so.

4. Eligibility; accounts

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create a PlugPress account or purchase paid Services. You’re responsible for the security of your account and for all activity under it. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized access.

5. Plans, payments, and renewals

Some Services are free; others are paid (e.g., premium features, usage‑based email sends, analytics quotas, or priority support). If you purchase a paid plan:

  • Billing cycle: Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period.
  • Pricing & taxes: Prices are shown exclusive of taxes and fees unless noted. You authorize us to charge your payment method for all applicable amounts.
  • Changes: We may change plan features or pricing prospectively; we’ll notify you in advance where required by law.
  • Refunds: Unless a specific product page or promotion says otherwise, fees are non‑refundable once the period begins.

6. Trials, discounts, and promotions

Trials and promotional offers are subject to their specific terms. We may discontinue or modify a trial or promotion at any time.

7. Delivery, updates, and auto‑updates

We may deliver plugin updates via WordPress.org, GitHub, or our own update servers. Enabling auto‑updates is your choice. Updates may include important security or compatibility fixes—we recommend keeping Plugins current.

Compatibility: We endeavor to support currently‑supported WordPress and PHP versions, but cannot guarantee compatibility with every theme, plugin, or hosting stack.

8. System requirements and third‑party components

Use of the Plugins requires a compatible WordPress installation and hosting environment. Some features rely on third‑party services (e.g., SMTP relays, analytics endpoints, block libraries). Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms, and we are not responsible for the services themselves.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Services or violate applicable law. Prohibited uses include, without limitation:

  • Sending spam or unlawful emails; harvesting addresses; violating CAN‑SPAM, GDPR/ePrivacy, or similar laws.
  • Infringing intellectual property or privacy rights; uploading malware; attempting to gain unauthorized access.
  • Stress‑testing/abusing APIs in ways that degrade stability for others.

We may suspend or terminate Services for violations.

10. Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit through the Services. You grant us a non‑exclusive, worldwide license to host, cache, transmit, and display your content solely as needed to provide the Services. You’re responsible for securing the necessary rights to your content.

11. Data and privacy

We process limited technical and account data to run the Services (e.g., license checks, usage metrics, error logs). Some Plugins may send configuration or event data to our servers to deliver features (e.g., deliverability stats, form submission counts). See our Privacy Policy for details. Where required, you must disclose to your end users what data your site collects and processes.

12. Service‑specific terms (summaries)

  • leanSMTP / leanSend: You must comply with applicable anti‑spam laws, consent/opt‑in rules, and acceptable bounce/complaint thresholds. We may throttle or suspend delivery for abuse, excessive bounces, blocklist events, or security risk.
  • leanForms / leanOptin: You are responsible for form consent language, data retention, and any required notices or DPA with your processors.
  • leanAnalytics: Metrics are provided “as‑is” and may be sampled or delayed; do not rely on them for mission‑critical decisions.
  • leanKB / leanDash: You’re responsible for the content you publish and any third‑party materials you use.

13. Support

Support scope and response targets (if any) are described on the relevant product page or plan. We may request temporary admin access or logs to investigate issues; providing such access is your choice and at your risk.

14. Intellectual property; branding

The plugin code is GPLv3‑licensed. Our trademarks, trade names, logos (including PlugPress, leanForms, leanSMTP, leanKB, leanDash, leanOptin, leanSend, and leanAnalytics), site designs, documentation, screenshots, and cloud‑side code are owned by PlugPress or our licensors and are not licensed under GPLv3. You may not use our trademarks without permission.

“WordPress” and “Gutenberg” are trademarks of the WordPress Foundation. Use of those marks is subject to the Foundation’s guidelines.

15. Open‑source notices and third‑party code

Plugins may include or link to third-party open-source components, each of which is licensed separately. That license will govern the component. Notices are provided in the plugin repository or documentation.

16. Warranty disclaimer

THE PLUGINS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Plugins or Services will be uninterrupted, error‑free, secure, or compatible with every environment.

17. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PLUGPRESS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PLUGINS OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in such cases, the restrictions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PlugPress and its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Plugins or Services, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

19. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (in whole or part) if you materially breach these Terms, create risk or possible legal exposure for us, or where required by law. Upon termination, your right to access paid Services ends, but your rights under GPLv3 to the plugin code remain as permitted by that license.

20. Changes to the Services and to these Terms

We continually improve our Plugins and Services and may add, remove, or modify features. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by posting the updated Terms and updating the “Last updated” date, or by other reasonable means. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

21. Governing law; venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of [choose one: the State of Delaware, USA / your local jurisdiction], without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. The exclusive venue for disputes that are not subject to arbitration (if any) will be the courts located in [Wilmington, Delaware, USA].

Optional arbitration clause (replace if you prefer courts): Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by [AAA/JAMS] under [its] rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

22. Export controls

You represent that you are not located in a sanctioned jurisdiction and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with applicable export and sanctions laws.

23. Notices

Notices to PlugPress must be sent to [email protected] and to our physical address above. We may provide notices to you via the email associated with your account or by posting within the Services.

24. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. No waiver is effective unless in writing. You may not assign these Terms without our prior consent; we reserve the right to assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms create no agency, partnership, or joint venture.

25. Relationship to GPLv3 (no additional restrictions)

Nothing in these Terms is intended to impose additional restrictions on your rights in the plugin code as granted by GPLv3. If any term here would be viewed as an additional restriction under GPLv3, that specific term does not apply to your GPLv3 rights in the code.

26. Credits & attribution

We support open legal‑doc reuse. Industry-standard terms and open‑licensed templates inspired portions of the structure of these Terms. If you reuse this document, please replace PlugPress information with your own and ensure it reflects your actual practices.
