Terms & License

License Grant

When you purchase an effect from GSAP Vault, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the effect in your projects under the following terms:

• You may use each purchased effect in unlimited commercial projects
• You may use effects in unlimited personal/non-commercial projects
• You may modify the effect code to suit your project needs
• The license is granted to you personally and cannot be transferred to another person or entity

What You Can Do

• Use the effect in as many projects as you like (websites, apps, SaaS, client work)
• Modify, adapt, and customize the effect code for your specific needs
• Use the effect in unlimited personal projects, prototypes, and learning exercises

What You Cannot Do

• Resell the effect code on its own, whether modified or unmodified
• Include in templates or themes sold on marketplaces (contact us if you need redistribution licensing)
• Include in UI kits, component libraries, or code snippet collections for sale or free distribution
• Build a competing product — you may not use effects to create an effects library, animation marketplace, snippet collection, or any product that competes with GSAP Vault
• Share, sublicense, or transfer your license to another person or company
• Claim ownership of the original effect code or design

Multiple Projects

A Standard License covers unlimited projects for that effect. Buy it once and use it in as many websites, apps, or client projects as you like. The Effects & Templates Vault extends the same terms to every current and future effect and template in the catalog. CMS themes, plugins and extensions are not included in the bundle and are licensed separately.

Effects & Templates Vault

The Effects & Templates Vault (£39) is a one-time purchase that grants a standard license for all current and future premium effects and templates.

• Bundle effects can be used across unlimited commercial projects
• Future effects and templates added to the catalog are automatically included at no additional cost
• The bundle covers effects and templates only. CMS themes, plugins and extensions (see below) are a separate product category and are not included, whether released before or after your purchase
• The bundle is a one-time purchase, not a subscription
• The bundle is non-transferable and tied to one account
• The bundle price may increase as more effects are added to the catalog. Your purchase locks in access at the price paid
• The bundle does not include redistribution rights (themes, templates, kits); contact us for redistribution licensing
• Upgrade credit: if you already bought effects or templates individually, that spend is deducted from the bundle price at checkout, up to a maximum of £10. You must be logged into the account that made those purchases; guest checkouts are credited too, via the account created for you at the time of purchase. The credit is a discount on the bundle only: it is not a refund, has no cash value, and cannot be redeemed against anything else

Template License

Templates are complete page designs that include layout, navigation, footer, and coordinated animation effects. They are priced differently from individual effects:

• Template License (£10): Use in unlimited personal and commercial projects.

Templates follow the same usage restrictions as effects—no redistribution of source code, no sublicensing.

CMS Themes, Plugins and Extensions

CMS themes, plugins and extensions are installable products built for any third-party content platform or site builder, including but not limited to Ghost, WordPress and Webflow. This covers themes, plugins, extensions, blocks and add-ons alike. They are a distinct product category from effects and templates, priced individually as shown on each product page.

• CMS themes, plugins and extensions are not included in the Effects & Templates Vault, and buying the bundle does not grant access to them
• A CMS theme, plugin or extension license covers unlimited personal and commercial sites, on the same terms as effects and templates
• You may modify it for your own sites, including client work
• You may not redistribute, resell, or sublicense it, whether modified or unmodified, including on theme, plugin or extension marketplaces

CMS themes, plugins and extensions depend on a platform we do not control. We aim to keep each one compatible with the current major version of its platform, but we cannot guarantee compatibility with future platform releases, third-party integrations, or custom modifications you make. Hosting, platform subscription fees, and platform support are your responsibility.

Technical Skill Requirements

GSAP Vault effects are designed for developers who are comfortable working with code. By purchasing, you acknowledge that:

• Effects require working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Integration into your project may require adapting the code to fit your specific setup, framework, or build system
• We provide clean, well-documented code and LLM-friendly comments to assist with customization, but we cannot provide implementation support for your specific project
• You are responsible for testing and debugging within your own environment

Refunds

Due to the digital nature of the products, we do not offer refunds once you have accessed the effect code. This includes cases where:

• You are unable to integrate the effect into your project
• The effect requires more customization than expected
• Your technical skill level differs from what is required

We may consider refunds at our discretion if an effect contains a genuine bug that prevents it from functioning as demonstrated, and we are unable to provide a fix.

Intellectual Property

All effects remain the intellectual property of GSAP Vault. Your purchase grants you a license to use the effect, not ownership of the underlying code or design. You may not claim the effect as your own original work.

No Warranty

Effects are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that effects will be compatible with all browsers, frameworks, or environments. While we strive to provide high-quality, well-tested code, you are responsible for testing effects in your specific environment.

Accessibility & Responsiveness

We strive to build effects and templates that work across devices and respect accessibility preferences:

• Effects include prefers-reduced-motion support where applicable
• Templates are designed with responsive layouts in mind
• However, we do not guarantee full WCAG compliance or perfect responsiveness across all devices and screen sizes
• You are responsible for testing and adapting effects/templates for your specific accessibility and responsive requirements

Service Availability & File Access

GSAP Vault provides access to purchased effects through your account Library. However:

• No guarantee of perpetual access: We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice.
• Download responsibility: You are responsible for downloading and maintaining your own copies of purchased effects. We strongly recommend downloading effects promptly after purchase.
• No hosting obligation: We are not obligated to host, store, or provide access to effect files indefinitely.
• Service discontinuation: In the event we discontinue the service, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice, but cannot guarantee continued file access after discontinuation.

Your license to use purchased effects remains valid regardless of service availability, provided you have downloaded the files.

Limitation of Liability

GSAP Vault shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the effects. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the effect(s) in question.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of purchased effects after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

If you have questions about these terms or need clarification on licensing, please get in touch.

Third-Party Assets

Photography used across the GSAP Vault website, demos, and products is sourced from Unsplash under the Unsplash License. Unsplash is the only stock source we use.

Templates that use photography ship the image files with them, in assets/img/, so the template renders as demonstrated the moment you unzip it. These are art-directed derivatives: each photograph has been cropped, colour-graded, and converted to WebP to suit that template's design. Templates built without photography contain no image files. Individual effects generally ship no images at all; a small number bundle photography, on the same terms as below.

• Bundled images are provided as part of the design, so the product looks as shown. They are not a stock photography library
• Your license to the effect or template does not grant you a stock photography license to the underlying photographs
• You should substitute your own imagery before taking a project to production
• Where an assets/img-manifest.json file is present, it records the original source URL of every photograph, so you can review the licensing yourself

Where a product loads a photograph from a remote URL instead of bundling it, the same applies: that image is not ours to license to you, and remains subject to the Unsplash License. Point it at your own imagery for production use.
