License & credits

What you may do with Map Blueprint after you buy it, and the open-source software it's built on.

Plain-language summary — not legal advice. This page describes the intended terms in everyday language so you know where you stand. It isn't a substitute for a lawyer-drafted agreement. If you need formal terms for your organisation, reach us on Discord.

Your license

When you buy Map Blueprint you receive the full source code and a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use it. There's no subscription and nothing to renew — the version you buy is yours to keep.

Two tiers

Both tiers include the full source code and differ only by team size. The small-team download is configured for up to 5 people online at once; the larger build is unlimited. This is a good-faith limit, not copy protection — you have the source and can change it.

Small team (up to 5 people) — A$10 one-time (launch discount — normally A$35).
Large team / Pro (6 or more people) — A$250 one-time. Everything in Small team, unlimited team members, plus lifetime support and priority email help.

What you can do (both tiers)

Run it on machines you control — your laptop, your office box, a NAS, or a cloud server you rent. As many of your own instances as you need.
Use it with your team — there's no per-seat software check; your tier is based on team size.
Modify the source for your own use — change features, fix things, adjust it to your workflow.
White-label it — set your own app name, accent colour, logo, and favicon (see the config file in the download).
Keep your data — every map is a plain JSON file on your server. It's yours; export it or back it up any time.
Receive free updates within the version you bought — just email us for the latest build.

What the Large team / Pro tier adds

Unlimited team members — no 5-person limit.
Lifetime support — we'll help you keep it running.
Priority email help — your questions go to the front of the queue.

What no license permits

Resell or redistribute the source code, in whole or in part, modified or not.
Re-host it as a public or commercial service for people outside your team (no offering Map Blueprint itself as a paid or free product to others).
Share your download or license with people or organisations who haven't purchased a license.
Remove or misrepresent the original authorship of the underlying software.

In short: buy the tier that matches your team size, run it for your own team, and change it however you like — just don't resell or give away the source itself.

Warranty & refunds

Map Blueprint is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. We do our best to make it reliable, but you run it on your own infrastructure and are responsible for your data and backups. To the extent allowed by law, we aren't liable for any damages arising from its use.

If it doesn't work for you, you can get a refund within 14 days of purchase. Checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy (our merchant of record), so just reply to your purchase receipt or message us on Discord — see the FAQ.
