What does have our terms and conditions from our website to do with
the theme?<br>
And if something is wrong with them, we just have them because thy

What exactly is there not correct?<br>

My specific concerns are based upon the table on their demo
site<br>
(<a href="http://www.custom-community.themekraft.com/" target="_blank">http://www.custom-community.themekraft.com/</a>).<br>
<br>
<a href="https://skitch.com/zamoose/r491a/custom-community-home" target="_blank">https://skitch.com/zamoose/r491a/custom-community-home</a><br>
<br>
In particular, the theme settings are listed as "Demo" in
the free<br>
version and "Full" in the pro version. Does that come across
as<br>
"crippleware" to anyone else?<br>
