Welcome to LurkaTheme (accessible from https://themes.lurkawindo.com). These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of our website, our directory, and the digital assets displayed within it.
By accessing this website, we assume you accept these terms and conditions in full. Do not continue to use LurkaTheme if you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions stated on this page.
1. Platform Architecture & Directory Status
LurkaTheme operates as a hybrid directory. We showcase two distinct types of content:
- Internal Themes: Templates, UI components, and layouts strictly owned, created, and distributed by Lurkawindo.
- Third-Party Themes: External templates owned by independent creators, agencies, and external sellers, which we simply index as a discovery engine.
Showcasing Our Internal Themes
We welcome blogs, reviewers, and tech websites to feature our internally owned (Lurkawindo) themes. You are explicitly allowed to use our exact theme cover images, promotional graphics, and textual descriptions to showcase our products on your own website, provided you link back to our original product page.
2. Strict Prohibitions on Internal Themes
While we encourage you to write about and showcase Lurkawindo-owned templates using our images and text, the following actions are strictly prohibited and constitute a violation of our intellectual property:
- No Source Code Distribution: Under no circumstances are you allowed to host, distribute, or provide direct download links to our raw HTML, CSS, JS, or framework source code on your website.
- No Live Previews or iFrames: You are strictly prohibited from embedding our live theme previews on your website. You may not use
<iframe>tags, object embeds, or scraping methods to display our functional, interactive theme demos on your domain. Users must visit our official platform to view live previews.
Strict Prohibition on Third-Party Themes
You are completely prohibited from taking, copying, or showcasing any third-party themes found on our directory. Because we are an aggregator, we do not hold the copyright for external themes. We only possess a limited showcase license from those specific authors. We cannot, and do not, grant you permission to use third-party assets, images, or code. Scraping external themes from our directory exposes you to direct DMCA and copyright liability from the original creators.
3. User Conduct & General Restrictions
When interacting with our platform, you agree not to:
- Use automated scripts, spiders, or scrapers to bulk-download images, text, or directory metadata.
- Attempt to bypass, reverse-engineer, or disable any security measures protecting our internal source code or preview environments.
- Misrepresent your affiliation with Lurkawindo or claim ownership over any digital assets provided on our site.
- Use our platform or assets for any illegal, fraudulent, or malicious purposes.
4. External Links and Third-Party Transactions
Because we route traffic to external websites for third-party themes, we have no control over the content, privacy policies, or checkout systems of those external sites.
If you purchase or download a theme from a third-party author linked on our platform, that transaction occurs entirely between you and the author. LurkaTheme is not liable for refunds, payment disputes, broken files, or lack of support regarding third-party products.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties, and conditions relating to our website and the use of this website. All themes, snippets, and directory links are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranty or condition, express, implied, or statutory.
We do not warrant that our internal themes will be completely error-free or perfectly compatible with future browser updates, nor do we guarantee the uptime of live preview links.
6. Amendments to Terms
We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. By continuing to use the website after we post any such changes, you accept the modified terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to remain informed of our current policies.
