Terms of use

The software

The PageCore plugin and the PageCore FSE theme are free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. You may use, study, change and share them under that licence. The licence, not these terms, governs the software itself.

Starter sites, patterns and styles

Starter sites, Design Library patterns and Style Library styles are provided so you can build your own website with them. Once imported, they are part of your site and you can change them as you like.

Placeholder text and placeholder icons are there to be replaced with your own. You are responsible for the content you publish on your site, including checking that any images and text you keep are suitable for your use.

• Fonts downloaded by the Style Library are distributed under their own open font licences.
• Plugins that a starter site needs, such as WPForms, are installed from WordPress.org and come with their own licences.

Photos in starter sites

The photos that come with PageCore starter sites were made with AI, for PageCore. You can use them on your own websites and your clients’ websites, for personal and commercial projects, on any site where the PageCore plugin is active. If you later switch PageCore off, you can keep the photos already on that site and keep using them there.

You may

• Use them on sites you build for yourself or for clients, while the PageCore plugin is active on that site.
• Keep using the photos already on a site if you later switch PageCore off.
• Crop, resize, recolour and edit them.

You may not

• Add them, or edited versions of them, to a site where the PageCore plugin is not active.
• Sell, license or give away the photos on their own or in a collection, for example as stock photos, wallpapers or prints, or inside a theme, template or starter site you sell or share.
• Use them for anything illegal, or in content that is defamatory, deceptive, hateful, discriminatory or sexual.
• Present the people in them as real people who use or recommend something, for example in a review or a testimonial. The photos were made with AI, so the people in them do not exist.
• Use them in a logo, trademark or brand mark.
• Claim that you made them, or enter them in a competition.

Our servers

The plugin fetches starter site content, patterns, screenshots and fonts from pagecore.net and demos.pagecore.net. We aim to keep them available, but we do not promise that they will always be online, or that any particular starter site, pattern or style will remain available. Content already imported into your site stays on your site.

Please don’t try to overload, scrape at scale or otherwise interfere with these servers.

No warranty

The software and content are provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, as set out in the GPL. Back up your site before importing a starter site. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from using this website, the software or the content.

Trademarks

WordPress is a trademark of the WordPress Foundation. PageCore is not affiliated with or endorsed by the WordPress Foundation.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. How we handle data is described in our privacy policy.
