License
A plain-English summary of the LaunchKit commercial license.
LaunchKit is sold under a commercial license: you buy
once, you ship as many products as you want, you don't redistribute the
boilerplate itself. The full executed EULA ships inside each repository as
LICENSE; this page is the short version for prospective buyers.
You can
- Use the source code to build commercial applications — paid SaaS, internal tools, side projects. How many depends on your tier: Solo licenses one product, Unlimited licenses as many as you want and adds work you build for clients.
- Modify the code freely — rename files, swap stacks, delete features, brand it as your own.
- Deploy compiled and source forms of your applications to any host, on any number of servers.
- Use it as the foundation for client deliverables. The license is tied to you; your client gets the application you build, not the boilerplate license itself.
You cannot
- Resell or redistribute the boilerplate as a starter kit, template, code generator, or competing product.
- Publish, sublicense, or share the source code as-is to third parties — except as bundled inside an application you built.
- Share your access to the private GitHub organization, or transfer your license to a third party without our written consent.
- Ship more products than your tier licenses. There is no technical gate on this — the repositories are identical on both tiers — so it runs on good faith. If your second product is doing well, upgrade; we'll credit what you already paid.
- Remove the proprietary notices contained in the codebase in any redistribution. (Inside your own applications you can replace them with your own.)
Updates and support
Both tiers ship the same source code, get the same repository access, and receive updates for as long as LaunchKit is maintained. There is no renewal and nothing expires. What differs:
- Solo — one licensed product, plus email support.
- Unlimited — unlimited licensed products, client work, email support, the private Discord, early access to new features, and a vote on the roadmap.
Security fixes ship to all license holders for free, regardless of tier. If you outgrow Solo, email us and we'll credit what you paid against the difference rather than charging you twice.
Refunds
Access is delivered through a claim link that arrives within minutes of checkout. Once you've claimed it and been added to the private GitHub organization, the source code is in your hands — so we don't offer refunds after that point. If you change your mind before claiming access, email us within 7 days of purchase and we'll refund in full.
The fairest way to avoid buyer's regret is to read the full FAQ and email us with any questions before you check out. We're happy to walk you through specific parts of the codebase, share a Loom of the dashboard, or answer anything that's still unclear. We'd rather lose a sale than have you regret it.
Warranty and liability
The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind,
express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total
liability under this license is limited to the fees you paid for it. The
full disclaimer is in the executed LICENSE file shipped with the
codebase.
Third-party dependencies
The codebase includes third-party open source software, each governed by its own license. You're responsible for complying with the terms of those components. The headline ones (Django, Django REST Framework, Next.js, React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui) are MIT or BSD-licensed and impose no additional restrictions on you.
