Valor Theme is made available under the Valor Free License. This page is the canonical and controlling version of the license.
Copyright © 2026 Valor Theme. All rights reserved.
Summary
You can use Valor Theme for free in one Shopify store per separate download and license acceptance. You may customize it for the licensed store and fork the GitHub repository for development, evaluation, or contributions. You may not redistribute or resell the theme, or present it as your own product. This summary is provided for convenience only — the full terms below control.
1. License Grant
Subject to the terms of this license, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to download, use, and modify Valor Theme for use in one Shopify store per separate download and license acceptance.
This license does not transfer ownership of Valor Theme or any associated intellectual property rights.
2. Permitted Use
You may:
- Use Valor Theme in one Shopify store per separate download and license acceptance.
- Use the theme for your own store or for a client’s store.
- Use the theme in a personal or commercial Shopify store.
- Customize the theme’s templates, sections, snippets, assets, styles, scripts, settings, and other source files for the licensed store.
- Create private backups for your own internal use.
- Maintain private development, staging, or testing copies that are used solely in connection with the same licensed Shopify store.
- Fork the official GitHub repository using GitHub’s built-in fork functionality for personal customization, evaluation, development, or contribution purposes, provided that the fork remains clearly attributed to Valor Theme and is not presented or distributed as a separate theme product.
- Submit pull requests, patches, bug fixes, and other contributions to the official Valor Theme repository.
Each additional Shopify store requires a separate download and separate acceptance of this license.
3. Prohibited Use
You may not:
- Use one download or license acceptance for more than one separate Shopify store.
- Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise commercially distribute Valor Theme.
- Redistribute the theme ZIP file or make it available for download from another website, repository, marketplace, file-sharing service, package, bundle, or other distribution channel.
- Publish releases, downloadable packages, compiled theme files, or ZIP archives from a fork or copy of the official repository.
- Present, market, publish, or distribute Valor Theme as your own original product.
- Submit Valor Theme, or a modified version of it, to the Shopify Theme Store or any other marketplace, directory, catalog, or theme distribution platform.
- Repackage, rename, white-label, or distribute Valor Theme as a separate or derivative theme product.
- Use a fork or modified copy as the basis of a competing downloadable or commercial Shopify theme.
- Remove, conceal, or alter copyright notices, license files, attribution, theme metadata, documentation, or Valor branding for the purpose of misrepresenting the origin or authorship of the theme.
- Grant another person or organization rights to use, distribute, or sublicense the theme beyond the permissions expressly granted by this license.
- Circumvent any download, license acceptance, attribution, or store-specific licensing mechanism used by Valor Theme.
4. GitHub Forks and Public Copies
GitHub’s built-in fork functionality may be used only for development, customization, evaluation, or contribution purposes.
A fork does not grant permission to redistribute Valor Theme as an independent theme, product, release, package, or download.
Public forks must:
- Preserve the original copyright and license notices.
- Clearly identify Valor Theme as the original project.
- Preserve the visible connection to the official Valor Theme repository where technically possible.
- Not include downloadable theme releases, ZIP packages, marketplace submissions, or claims of independent authorship.
The repository owner may request the removal of a fork, release, package, or other public copy that is used in violation of this license.
5. Client Work
You may customize Valor Theme for a client, provided that:
- The client’s store has its own separate download and license acceptance.
- The theme is used only for that client’s licensed Shopify store.
- You do not retain or reuse the licensed copy for another client or store.
- You do not sell or market Valor Theme itself as your own theme product.
You may charge for your customization, installation, design, development, or support services, but you may not charge for the theme itself unless expressly authorized in writing by the Valor Theme maintainer.
6. Contributions
By submitting a pull request, patch, code change, translation, documentation update, design asset, bug fix, or other contribution to Valor Theme, you confirm that:
- You have the right to submit the contribution.
- The contribution does not knowingly infringe the rights of another person or organization.
- You grant the Valor Theme maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, modify, reproduce, publish, distribute, relicense, and incorporate the contribution into Valor Theme.
- Your contribution may be distributed under the Valor Free License or under a future free, commercial, premium, or proprietary license selected by the Valor Theme maintainer.
Submitting a contribution does not give you ownership of Valor Theme or any right to control future licensing decisions.
7. Ownership
Valor Theme, including its source code, design, structure, documentation, branding, original assets, and associated intellectual property, remains the property of its respective copyright owner.
Modifications made by you do not create ownership rights in Valor Theme itself and do not permit you to distribute the modified theme as a separate product.
Any rights not expressly granted under this license are reserved.
8. Termination
This license terminates automatically if you violate any of its terms.
Upon termination, you must stop using, copying, modifying, and distributing Valor Theme and remove any unauthorized public copies, releases, downloads, or marketplace listings under your control.
Termination does not limit the copyright owner’s right to seek removal of infringing material or pursue other available remedies.
9. No Warranty
Valor Theme is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the maintainer disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, availability, security, and error-free operation.
Use of Valor Theme is at your own risk.
The maintainer does not guarantee compatibility with future Shopify changes, third-party applications, browsers, devices, custom merchant modifications, or external services.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Valor Theme maintainer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or commercial damages arising from the use of, inability to use, modification of, or reliance on Valor Theme.
This includes, without limitation, lost revenue, lost profits, lost data, business interruption, store downtime, security incidents, or compatibility problems.
11. Future Versions and License Changes
This license applies only to the specific version of Valor Theme that you obtained under these terms.
Future versions, updates, premium editions, services, support plans, or related products may be released under different license terms.
Changes to this license do not retroactively change the license terms that applied to a version you previously obtained, unless you separately agree to the updated terms.
12. No Trademark License
This license does not grant permission to use the Valor Theme name, logo, branding, domain names, or other identifying marks except as reasonably necessary to provide attribution or identify the original theme.
You may not use Valor Theme branding in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, or ownership.
