Paid tools legitimacy
For a long time we are finding in web our paid tools used illegaly. There are few reasons:
If you have more positions like for example "Tools", "Banners", "Boxes", "Admins" or "Users" it is proof that you are probably using paid version of our tool.
Some webmasters change colors in menu from red to for example blue but structure is usually the same.
If you report your website sooner than we will contact with you about it then consequences of such illegal use will be much smaller.
If your website will be detected without purchased license, according to copyright law we can request reparation which is double license value or if it was conscious usage - triple license value.
- warez - someone adds our paid tools to warez portals and some unaware users use them
- more domains - some webmasters didn't read carefully our license and didn't notice that when they buy script for page for example example.com they can use it only on that address. So when they install it on other domain to create another website they are not buying another license for it.
- usurpation - some webmastes modify our tools so it looks different, for example they remove required link (without purchasing such option) to our website named Shopping cart by Quick.Cart or CMS by Quick.Cms, remove OpenSolution company logo or other information about us, etc.
- different site url - sometimes when webmaster purchases a license for our tool he sends us url or that page for example example.com and then uses it on different url for example sample.net (from some reasons) but he didn't inform us about it.
