End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement (EULA) constitutes a legal contract between you, either individually or on behalf of your business entity, and MineStoreCMS. Prior to installing any of our products, you must carefully read and understand this EULA.

We reserve the right to amend these terms, but we will provide advance notice of any changes, allowing you adequate time to decide whether to continue using our products.
