Blue360 often works with design themes, templates, and plugins purchased from ThemeForest.net (Envato Market). These assets allow us to deliver websites faster and at affordable prices. However, clients must understand that Blue360 is only responsible for professional services like setup, customization, and integration — not for the inherent quality or future updates of the ThemeForest item. This article explains how licensing works, how payments are handled, and what limitations apply.
How Blue360 Uses ThemeForest Assets
- Blue360 acquires licensed items from ThemeForest.net to build or customize websites
- Clients pay separately for the ThemeForest item cost and Blue360 professional service fee
- Licenses are governed by Envato’s terms (Regular or Extended License depending on project type)
- Each license covers one end product (one website); additional sites require new licenses
- Blue360 provides advisory support in selecting a suitable item but final responsibility for quality lies with the ThemeForest author
Payments and Pricing
- 100% advance payment is required before work begins
- Final cost = ThemeForest item price (in INR as displayed on Envato) + Blue360 service fee
- If the client pays only one part (item cost or service fee) or refuses to pay both, Blue360 may cancel the project without refund
- ThemeForest/Envato fees and other third-party charges are always non-refundable
Licensing and Legal Limitations
- Regular License covers one website that is free to end users
- Extended License is required if the website or app charges users for access
- Bundled plugins with a theme may not have separate activation or direct update rights unless purchased individually
- Theme updates, bug fixes, or continued support are controlled by the original author, not Blue360
- If an item is removed from ThemeForest, existing licenses continue but downloads may no longer be available
Blue360’s Responsibility vs. ThemeForest’s Responsibility
- Blue360 ensures proper installation, customization, and professional delivery
- ThemeForest authors are responsible for code quality, theme updates, and ongoing support
- Blue360 does not provide guarantees on the long-term functionality or compatibility of any ThemeForest item
- Remediation for theme bugs or abandonment may require additional costs outside original scope
Analogy
Hiring Blue360 with a ThemeForest theme is like hiring a painter to paint your walls with a paint brand you chose. The painter ensures the work is neat and professional, but the paint’s durability and quality are the manufacturer’s responsibility. Likewise, Blue360 provides professional service, while ThemeForest authors are accountable for the product itself.
FAQs
Q: Do I need a new license for another website?
Yes. Each ThemeForest license applies to one end product (one website). A separate license is required for every additional site.
Q: What happens if my theme includes premium plugins?
Bundled plugins are tied to the theme license. They often cannot be activated independently or updated directly unless purchased separately.
Q: Can Blue360 guarantee that my theme will always be updated?
No. Updates are managed by the ThemeForest author. Blue360 cannot compel updates or ensure long-term support.
Q: Are ThemeForest fees refundable through Blue360?
No. All ThemeForest/Envato charges are non-refundable. Blue360 does not reimburse third-party costs.
Q: If my theme is removed from ThemeForest, what happens?
Your license usually continues, but downloads may no longer be available. We recommend keeping secure backups of all purchased files immediately after acquisition.
