© 2015–2025 ShakaCode, LLC. All rights reserved.

1. Definitions

• Organization – the single legal entity identified in the order (e.g., GitHub Sponsors, invoice).
• Production Use – any use of the Software in connection with a live application, website, or service accessed by end users other than:
  • evaluation or testing
  • classroom instruction, tutorials, workshops, coursework
  • recorded demos, livestreams, or videos
  • personal/hobby experiments not offered as a service

2. Grant of License (Per-Organization)

ShakaCode grants the subscribing Organization a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use React on Rails Pro (“Software”) for the Organization’s internal applications.

• Internal modifications are allowed.
• Redistribution, sublicensing, or hosting the Software for third parties is prohibited.

3. Consulting Firms and Individual Consultants

• Consulting Firms – this license covers only the firm’s own internal systems. Each client Organization requires its own license for any Production Use.
• Individual Consultants – this license covers only the consultant’s own projects personally operated by them, not client organizations. Each client Organization must obtain its own license.

4. Non-Commercial / Educational / Demo Use (Free)

Free, royalty-free use is permitted for:

• classroom instruction, training, workshops, coursework;
• tutorials, blog posts, livestreams, or videos;
• personal/hobby projects not used in production;
• demo apps showcasing coding techniques.

Note: This clause does not permit any Production Use by any entity (commercial, non-profit, or individual). All Production Use requires a paid subscription under this Agreement.

5. Restrictions

The Organization shall not:

1. redistribute or resell the Software or derivatives;
2. remove, obfuscate, or disable required attribution;
3. use the Software to build a directly competing product exposing substantially similar functionality;
4. circumvent, bypass, modify, disable, or tamper with any license validation mechanisms, license checks, or authentication systems;
5. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software for the purpose of circumventing license restrictions;
6. create, use, or distribute any tools, scripts, patches, or modifications designed to enable unauthorized use of Pro features;
7. attempt to access or use Pro features without a valid, active subscription.

6. Attribution (HTML Source)

Pages rendered using the Software must include a retained non-visual attribution comment in the HTML source (provided by the software):

<!-- Powered by React on Rails Pro (c) ShakaCode -->

The Organization may not remove or obfuscate this attribution.

7. Fees; Term; Termination

Fees and billing terms are as agreed in the applicable order (e.g., GitHub Sponsors subscription or annual invoice).
The license remains active only while fees are paid. ShakaCode may suspend or terminate for non-payment or material breach.
Upon termination or lapse, the Organization must immediately cease use and remove the Software (including derivatives) from all Production systems and repositories, except for non-commercial uses explicitly permitted in Section 4.

8. Updates & Support

While subscribed, the Organization receives software updates and reasonable support (email or issue tracker, business hours). No specific response or resolution times are guaranteed unless set out in an order or separate SLA.

9. Verification / Audit

If ShakaCode reasonably suspects non-compliance, the Organization will cooperate in good faith to verify compliance, including enabling inspection for attribution presence and providing a usage statement. ShakaCode will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption.

9.1 Detailed Audits
ShakaCode or a certified auditor acting on its behalf may, upon reasonable request and at ShakaCode’s expense, audit the Organization’s use of the Software to verify compliance with this Agreement. Audits may be conducted by mail, electronically, or by in-person visits during regular business hours and shall minimize disruption to the Organization’s business. If the audit reveals a material unauthorized use, the Organization shall reimburse ShakaCode for reasonable audit costs.

10. Feedback & Contributions

By submitting feedback or improvements, the Organization grants ShakaCode a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use and incorporate them.

11. Intellectual Property

The Software is licensed, not sold. ShakaCode retains all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights.

12. Confidentiality

License keys and any non-public materials are ShakaCode confidential information. The Organization will protect them with at least reasonable care.

13. Warranty Disclaimer

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN §8, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ShakaCode is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
Direct damages are limited to amounts paid in the 12 months preceding the claim.

  If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force.
