that you have read and agree to all terms and conditions.
License

banners, software and other products downloadable through DotComBuilder in accordance
with these Terms and Conditions.
a) USE OF MEMBERSHIP
Your Membership is nontransferable. You agree that only You and your immediate
family may use the Membership. "Immediate Family" means You, your
spouse and your children living at your home. You will promptly notify us if
You become aware of any unauthorized use of your Membership. All entrances are
recorded. If you give you username and password to anyone else or allow others
to enter, your membership will be terminated.
b) DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT

license, your subscription creation date must be prior to September 1, 2007.

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.
To clarify, this means that you must provide a domain and hosting with every
TURNKEY WEBSITE sold. You may not resell any TURNKEY WEBSITES as undeveloped,
compilations, memberships or templates. 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. They are allowed to sell their one website, if they
like, but they are not given the right to resell the website more than once.
These protections are for the benefit of licensed developers.
