End User License Agreement (EULA)

The licence terms governing your use of the Cover My Order plugin — free and Premium versions.

Effective 16 Jul 2026 Last updated 16 Jul 2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement" or "EULA") is a legal agreement between you ("You," "Licensee," or "Merchant") and Cover My Order, 51 Cardiff Road, Cardiff, CF5 2DQ, United Kingdom ("Cover My Order," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Cover My Order plugin, in both its free and Premium forms (the "Software").

By downloading, installing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

This EULA works alongside our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Refund Policy, which govern the wider relationship, payments, and data handling. Where this EULA and the Terms of Service overlap on software licensing specifically, this EULA controls.

01

Definitions

  • "Software" means the Cover My Order plugin, including its free (Core) version and any Premium features unlocked by a valid Licence.
  • "Licence" means the paid entitlement — subscription or lifetime — that unlocks Premium features on a defined number of Sites, per your chosen plan.
  • "Site" means a single, distinct WordPress/WooCommerce installation, identified by its domain/URL, on which the Software is activated.
  • "Licence Key" means the unique code issued to you upon purchase, used to activate Premium features on a Site.
  • "Updates" means new versions, bug fixes, and security patches released for the Software.
02

Two-Tier Licensing Structure

Core (Free) Software

The free, Core version of the Software, distributed via WordPress.org, is licensed to you under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPLv2+). You may use, study, modify, and redistribute the Core Software's code under the terms of the GPL, without restriction, in line with WordPress.org's distribution requirements.

Premium Software

Premium features — automation rules, advanced branding, white-label, carrier recovery, multi-store management, API tokens, and other features described on our Pricing and Features pages — are made available under a separate, paid Licence as described in this Agreement. Access to Premium features requires a valid, active Licence Key.

Nothing in this Agreement restricts rights you already hold under the GPL with respect to the Core Software's code. This Agreement governs the additional Licence terms — site limits, updates, and support — attached to Premium access.

03

Licence Grant

Subject to payment of applicable fees and compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to:

  • Install and activate the Software's Premium features on the number of Sites permitted by your plan (currently: Silver — 1 Site; Business — 10 Sites; Agency — 1,000 Sites, as described on our Pricing page).
  • Receive Updates and support for the duration your Licence remains active, per Section 6.
  • Use the Software to operate a shipping protection program on your own WooCommerce Store(s).

This Licence is granted to you as the Merchant/business entity identified at purchase, not to any individual employee or contractor personally, and may be used by your authorised staff on your behalf.

04

Site Limits and Licence Activation

  • Each Licence permits activation on the number of Sites specified by your plan. Activating a Licence Key on a Site consumes one of your available activation slots.
  • You may deactivate a Licence on one Site and reactivate it on another (for example, moving from a staging site to a live site), subject to reasonable use and Freemius's activation-management tools in your customer portal.
  • Exceeding your plan's Site limit will prevent further activations until you either deactivate an existing Site or upgrade to a plan with a higher Site allowance.
  • Development, staging, or local environments may be exempt from counting against your Site limit at our discretion, but are not guaranteed to be — check current terms in your Freemius dashboard.
05

Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted by the GPL for the Core Software, or by this Agreement, you may not:

  • Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer your Licence Key or Premium access to a third party.
  • Circumvent, disable, or attempt to bypass Licence validation or activation limits.
  • Use the Software to build a directly competing shipping-protection or claims-management product.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, branding, or attribution contained in the Premium Software (except white-label functionality explicitly provided for that purpose on eligible plans).
  • Use the Software in any way that violates applicable law, or that infringes the rights of any third party.
  • Use the Software on any Site containing pornography, nudity, or sexually explicit content; gambling, betting, or games of chance; or any content or activity that is illegal in the jurisdiction where your Site operates or where your Customers are located. This restriction applies regardless of whether such content is the Site's primary purpose or only part of it.
5A

Prohibited Use — Enforcement

Use of the Software on a Site that violates Section 5's prohibited-use clause above is a material breach of this Agreement.

Zero-tolerance enforcement

If we determine, at our reasonable discretion, that your Site falls into a prohibited category, we may:

  • Suspend or permanently revoke your Licence Key and Premium access immediately, without prior notice.
  • Withhold any refund entirely — no refund, in whole or in part, will be issued under our Refund Policy, our Terms of Service, or otherwise, regardless of how much of your Licence term remains or how recently you purchased it.

This enforcement right applies in addition to, and does not limit, any other remedy available to us under this Agreement, including termination under Section 11.

06

Updates and Support

  • While your Licence is active (subscription in good standing, or lifetime Licence within its stated terms), you are entitled to Software Updates and the support level attached to your plan (community forum for Free; priority email for Premium).
  • If your subscription lapses or is cancelled, your Site will continue running whatever version of the Software was last installed, but will no longer receive Updates or Premium support until the Licence is renewed or reactivated. Premium features may become inactive or revert to Core functionality, depending on the feature.
  • We do not guarantee that Updates will be released on any particular schedule, or that any specific feature will be added, though we intend to maintain compatibility with current WordPress and WooCommerce releases on a reasonable-efforts basis.
07

Ownership and Intellectual Property

  • The GPL-licensed Core Software remains subject to the GPL; you may exercise all rights the GPL grants you over that code.
  • All other rights, title, and interest in the Premium Software's proprietary features, our trademarks ("Cover My Order" and associated branding), and our documentation, remain the exclusive property of Cover My Order or our licensors.
  • This Agreement does not sell you the Software or transfer any ownership rights beyond the licence expressly granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
  • Any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests you provide to us may be used by us without obligation or compensation to you.
08

Third-Party Components

The Software may include or integrate with open-source or third-party components (for example, libraries used within the Plugin, or optional integrations with Freemius, Twilio, AfterShip, or Slack/Zapier). Such components remain subject to their own licence terms. Optional third-party integrations are used only if you actively configure and enable them, as described in our Privacy Policy.

09

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every theme, plugin, or hosting configuration, or that it will meet your specific requirements.

10

Limitation of Liability

The Software is a tool that helps you run your own shipping protection program. You, the Merchant, are solely responsible for your Store, your Customers, your claims decisions, and the outcomes of operating that program.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cover My Order accepts no liability whatsoever — direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive — arising from your use of the Software, including claims disputes, refund or reship decisions, reserve ledger discrepancies, data loss, or third-party integration failures, regardless of the amount paid and regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such loss.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under English law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Subject only to those exceptions, our liability to you is excluded in full.

This mirrors the liability position already set in our Terms of Service, so the two documents stay consistent with each other.

11

Term and Termination

  • This Agreement remains in effect for as long as you use the Software.
  • You may terminate this Agreement at any time by deactivating and uninstalling the Software, and cancelling any active subscription.
  • We may terminate or suspend your Licence if you materially breach this Agreement (in particular Section 5) and fail to remedy the breach within a reasonable period after notice, or immediately in cases of fraud, abuse, or unlawful use.
  • Termination of a paid Licence does not entitle you to a refund except as described in our Refund Policy, and does not delete data already stored in your own WordPress database, which remains under your control at all times.
  • Sections 5 (Restrictions), 7 (Ownership), 9 (Disclaimer), 10 (Limitation of Liability), and 13 (Governing Law) survive termination of this Agreement.
12

Changes to This Agreement

We may update this EULA from time to time to reflect changes in the Software, our licensing model, or legal requirements. We will update the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes, provide reasonable notice such as a Site notice or email to registered Licensees. Continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

13

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections that may apply in your jurisdiction of residence.
