MetaCraft License

Version 1.0

Copyright © 2026 Bison Digital. All rights reserved.

This Commercial License Agreement ("License") governs the use of MetaCraft SEO ("Software"), an add-on for ExpressionEngine developed and distributed by Bison Digital.

1. License Grant

Subject to the terms of this License and payment of the applicable license fee, Bison Digital grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use MetaCraft on one production ExpressionEngine website for each license purchased.

A "production website" is one ExpressionEngine installation serving a public domain, including its subdomains and language versions run from the same installation.

2. Development and Staging

Each license also covers any number of local, development and staging copies of the licensed website, provided they are used only to build, test or maintain that website and are not publicly offered as a separate site.

3. Licensing and Versions

Each license applies to the website it was purchased for and is validated by ExpressionEngine's add-on licensing. A website that uses MetaCraft without a valid license will display a notice in the control panel until a license is added; the Software is not disabled.

Bison Digital may change the pricing, licensing model, features, support terms or availability of future versions of MetaCraft. A version of MetaCraft lawfully obtained under this License may continue to be used under the terms that applied to that version.

Major future releases may require the purchase of a new license, upgrade or other commercial arrangement. This License does not guarantee access to future major versions, premium features, services, updates or support.

4. Permitted Use

You may:

  • Install and use MetaCraft on websites you have licensed, including websites you own, manage, or build for clients.
  • Use MetaCraft in commercial website development projects.
  • Modify MetaCraft for the purposes of integrating it into a website for which you are licensed.
  • Make reasonable backup, development and staging copies associated with licensed installations.

5. Restrictions

You may not:

  • Install MetaCraft on more production websites than you hold licenses for.
  • Sell, sublicense, publish, distribute or redistribute MetaCraft as a standalone product.
  • Repackage MetaCraft and offer it as your own add-on, product, library or development tool.
  • Make MetaCraft available for download or distribution to third parties except as necessary to deliver a licensed client website.
  • Remove, bypass or interfere with MetaCraft's license notice, or remove or obscure copyright, licensing, attribution or proprietary notices contained within the Software.
  • Use MetaCraft or substantial portions of its source code to create and distribute a competing SEO product or ExpressionEngine add-on.
  • Claim ownership or authorship of MetaCraft or any portion of the Software owned by Bison Digital.

6. Client Projects

You may include MetaCraft as part of a completed ExpressionEngine website delivered to a client, provided that website is licensed.

The client may use MetaCraft as part of that website but does not receive the right to separately redistribute, resell, sublicense or repackage MetaCraft. A license may be transferred with the website it was purchased for, for example when a client takes over hosting, where ExpressionEngine's licensing allows it.

7. Ownership

MetaCraft is licensed, not sold.

Bison Digital retains all right, title and interest in MetaCraft, including its source code, interface, documentation, branding and other original materials, except for third-party components identified separately.

No ownership rights are transferred under this License.

8. Third-Party Software and Services

MetaCraft incorporates third-party components, including Lucide icons (ISC License, included as docs/LICENSE-lucide.txt). Third-party components remain subject to their respective licenses and copyright notices. Nothing in this License is intended to restrict rights granted by, or override obligations imposed by, those third-party licenses.

MetaCraft's optional AI suggestions connect to Anthropic's API using an API key that you supply. Your use of that service is governed by your agreement with Anthropic, and any charges for it are billed to you by Anthropic. Bison Digital does not provide, resell or control that service and is not responsible for its availability, charges or output.

9. Your Content and Data

MetaCraft runs on your server. It does not send your content, settings or visitor data to Bison Digital.

When AI suggestions are switched on and someone requests a suggestion, MetaCraft sends the entry's title, URL and page text to Anthropic, as described in the documentation. AI suggestions are not applied until a person reviews and accepts them. You are responsible for reviewing content before it is published and for ensuring that sending it to Anthropic is consistent with your obligations, including any privacy or confidentiality requirements that apply to your website.

10. No Guarantee of Search Results

MetaCraft helps produce metadata, structured data and sitemaps. Bison Digital does not guarantee any search ranking, traffic, indexing or display of rich results. These are decided by search engines and other third parties.

11. Updates and Support

Unless separately stated by Bison Digital, this License does not guarantee technical support, maintenance, updates, compatibility updates, new features or future releases.

Bison Digital may discontinue support or development of any version of MetaCraft at its discretion.

12. Termination

Your rights under this License terminate automatically if you materially violate its terms.

Upon termination, you must stop using MetaCraft on unlicensed websites and stop distributing or creating new installations of it. Bison Digital may provide an opportunity to remedy a violation before termination where appropriate.

13. Disclaimer of Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BISON DIGITAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE METACRAFT, INCLUDING ANY CHANGE IN SEARCH RANKINGS OR TRAFFIC, AND ANY CHARGES OR OUTPUT FROM THIRD-PARTY AI SERVICES.

15. Changes to This License

Bison Digital may publish different licensing terms for future versions of MetaCraft.

Changes to the license for a future release do not retroactively alter the license granted for a version you previously obtained unless you expressly agree to the new terms.

16. Contact
