These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your access to, purchase of, download of, activation of, and use of Siticone UI product packages, related documentation, examples, licensing services, updates, support, and website services. In these Terms, "Software" means the Siticone UI product packages and related materials described below.

By using the Software, you agree to follow these Terms. If you are using the Software for a company, client, school, organization, or team, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these Terms for that organization.

01

Ownership and Covered Product Packages

Siticone UI is owned by Siticone Technology. Siticone Technology is owned by BriskMeta Technology, the parent company. In these Terms, "Siticone UI", "Siticone Technology", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the product owner and, where appropriate, its parent company.

These Terms cover the following Siticone UI product packages:

  • Siticone NetCoreUI: the package for WinForms projects using modern .NET versions such as .NET 8, .NET 9, .NET 10, and compatible future versions.
If an invoice, license record, activation screen, pricing page, package page, or account page uses a related product name, casing, spacing, or label, it should be understood as referring to the matching Siticone UI package unless we clearly say otherwise.

License Plans and Rights

Siticone NetFrameworkUI Siticone NetCoreUI

A license gives you a limited right to use the specific Siticone UI package and plan you purchased or were authorized to use.

Current plan names may include Solo Developer, Pro Duo, Studio Edge, Team Synergy, Business Boost, Enterprise Launch, Innovation Suite, Global Enterprise, and Custom Solutions. The exact rights, device activations, seats, duration, and support level depend on the plan you buy.

  • Your license is limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable unless we agree otherwise in writing.
  • You may build and deploy your own applications according to the plan you purchased.
  • You may not treat a license for one package as a license for another package unless your license or written agreement expressly allows it.

The Software, source code, compiled binaries, product names, designs, documentation, examples, trademarks, licensing systems, and related intellectual property remain owned by Siticone Technology and its parent company, BriskMeta Technology.

05

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when needed, for example when we add new products, improve licensing, change support processes, or update legal requirements.

  • When a change is important, we will try to provide reasonable notice through the website, email, product notice, account notice, or another practical method.
