License.

When you buy a Hacker Blue theme, you receive a licence to install and use that theme’s files with the application they are made for, on up to three devices that you own or control, active at the same time. It is a licence, not a sale of ownership: the copyright in the files stays with Hacker Blue, and buying a theme transfers no ownership of it or of the Hacker Blue name.

A single-theme product, HackerBlue for <App>, covers that one app’s theme. HackerBlue Complete covers every Hacker Blue theme included in Complete; every theme released today, and every theme released later.

Several single themes can be bought in one payment. Each theme in the selection gets its own licence on exactly these terms, and the licences share that one payment: what Refund says about a refund or reversal applies to all of them together.

HackerBlue for Ghostty is free. Claiming it with a Hacker Blue account gives you a licence on exactly these terms: the same use of the files, the same three devices, the same updates. Nothing is paid for it, so there is nothing to refund; it is a licence to use the files, not a trial and not an open-source release.

The licence is personal to you as the buyer, or as the account that claimed the free theme. It does not transfer with the files if you pass them on, and it does not cover a team, company or other organisation.

Your licence starts when the purchase completes, or when you claim the free theme. It stays active unless the purchase is refunded or reversed, or the licence is suspended or revoked. A purchase is one payment, not a subscription, and nothing renews; the free theme is never charged for at all.

Downloads, installations, device activations and updates follow the licence: the CLI identifies the authorised device when it resolves a release, and a release is served only while the licence is active.

Files you have already installed keep working offline, and Hacker Blue does not reach into your machine to remove them. A refund or reversal stops future downloads, updates and new device activations for that licence; it does not delete what is already on your device. Refund has the details.

• Install and use the theme with the application it is made for.
• Use it yourself on up to three devices that you own or control, including a work device, active at the same time.
• Share screenshots, videos and streams showing the theme in use, including in your work.
• Adjust the theme’s files, including its CSS, for your own use on those devices.
• Keep and use the copies you downloaded, and download your releases again while the licence is active.

A purchase includes the updates Hacker Blue publishes for the themes your licence covers. When a new version is released, you can download and install it under the same licence at no extra charge; a version change never asks a licensed customer to pay again.

Updates are a benefit of an active licence. Nothing here promises future releases, a release schedule, or support beyond what the checkout states.

• Share, upload, publish or redistribute the theme files, modified or not.
• Resell, sublicense, rent or bundle them with another product or pack.
• Install or activate the theme for other people, or deploy it for a team, company or organisation.
• Claim authorship of the theme, or present it as your own work.
• Use the Hacker Blue name or marks as your own.
