Last updated: August 5, 2026
Effective Date: February 25, 2026 Last Updated: August 5, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sygentic AI Commerce plugin (including Agentic Commerce and Sygentic AI Commerce Pro features) and the website at https://acommerce.app (together, the "Service"), operated by Barrelmaker Consulting ("we", "us", "our").
By installing the plugin, creating an account, or purchasing a license, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Definitions
- "Free Version": The Sygentic AI Commerce / Agentic Commerce plugin as distributed (including on WordPress.org), licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later.
- "Pro Version" / "Pro features": Paid features unlocked by a valid Pro license key, including managed AI middleware access and licensed protocol/commerce entitlements.
- "License Key": A unique code issued upon purchase that activates Pro features on your specified WordPress site(s).
- "Middleware": Our hosted API service on
acommerce.appthat processes product/store context using LLM providers and supports license validation and related operator tooling. - "LLM Provider": Third-party AI model providers (OpenAI, DeepSeek) used for content generation via our managed service (Pro). Free first-run is activate + A2A discovery and has no bring-your-own API key settings tab.
- "Managed AI": Pro-tier processing where we select and operate the LLM vendor credentials; you do not supply a vendor API key.
2. Plugin licensing (GPL) and Pro entitlements
2.1 Free Version — GPL-2.0-or-later
The Free Version plugin code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later (GPL-2.0-or-later). You may use, modify, and distribute it in accordance with that license. The full GPL text is available at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html.
Third-party libraries bundled with the plugin retain their own licenses (for example, stripe/stripe-php is MIT). GPL rights attach to the plugin’s GPL-licensed PHP/JS/CSS as distributed; they do not grant you rights to our hosted Middleware, trademarks, or non-GPL brand assets.
2.2 Pro Version — commercial service entitlement
Upon purchase, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Sygentic AI Commerce Pro features on a single WordPress installation, subject to these Terms and a current subscription.
- Sygentic AI Commerce Pro: 1 WordPress installation. Available as a monthly subscription (US$419/month) or annual subscription (US$3,210/year, equivalent to US$267.50/month when billed annually).
For monthly subscriptions, the license remains active while the subscription is current. For annual subscriptions, the license is valid for one year from purchase unless cancelled earlier per Stripe billing rules. Upon cancellation or expiry, Pro features are deactivated; content generated prior to expiry remains yours.
Important: Paying for Pro purchases access to hosted services and entitlements (Middleware, managed AI, license-validated features). It does not convert the GPL plugin code into a proprietary license, and it does not sell ownership of the GPL codebase.
3. Middleware and managed AI service terms
3.1 Pro subscribers (managed AI)
Pro subscribers’ AI processing is handled by Sygentic AI Commerce’s managed Middleware. No vendor API key is required or accepted for managed mode. We select and manage the underlying LLM provider (OpenAI and, optionally, DeepSeek) on your behalf. You are not responsible for direct LLM provider charges; managed AI usage is included in your Pro subscription subject to the spend guardrail below.
Managed AI usage per Pro site is subject to a monthly budget target of US$110.93 (enforced by the Middleware spend guardrail). Usage resets on the first of each calendar month. We may throttle, queue, or reject requests that would exceed the guardrail.
3.2 Free plan
The Free Version first-run is activate + A2A discovery. There is no bring-your-own API key settings tab. Free does not include managed AI, UCP, WebMCP, or agentic checkout. Those features unlock with Pro.
3.3 Acceptable use of Middleware
You agree not to:
- Generate content that is illegal, defamatory, or infringes third-party intellectual property.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code or model weights from the Middleware.

- Overload or abuse the Middleware with automated requests beyond normal usage patterns.
- Resell or redistribute Pro license keys.
We may suspend or terminate access for violations.
