You must have a developers license to develop TURNKEY WEBSITES for anyone other than immediate family. If you develop any TURNKEY WEBSITES from Dotcombuilder for clients, you must sell the TURNKEY WEBSITES fully-developed, hosted and with a domain.

As with your username and password, the websites may not be distributed for free. Only you have a reseller's license as a member of DotComBuilder. Once your membership has expired, your developers license has also expired. Selling a website to someone else, does not automatically give them a resell license.
