Copyright Removal

Last Updated: Sep 30, 2014

Overview

Copyright Removal refers to the removal of public UberTheme copyright information in our themes and extensions. The public copyright information is such information displayed at client browsers when they visit your site.
1. The line “Designed by UberTheme.com” OR “Designed by JoomlArt.com” is allowed to be removed if you are holding a Developer package or Single Theme license of the actual theme.
2. You then can also rebrand the theme for clients but can not resell the theme as your own product.
Please see all license restrictions and agreements here: Terms of Use.
