## 📄 License Options for ApexCharts

ApexCharts is offered under a **dual-license model** to support individuals, startups, and commercial products of all sizes.

One license key works across every Apex product, so a customer of one does not buy a second for another.

### 🔓 Community License (Free)

For individuals, non-profits, educators, and small businesses with **less than $2 million USD in annual revenue**.

✅ What's allowed:

- Personal, educational, or non-profit use
- Commercial use by small orgs (under $2M annual revenue)
- Modifications, and redistribution of the library itself (with attribution)

🚫 Not allowed:

- Use by companies or entities over $2M/year revenue
- Use in competing charting products
- Sublicensing under different terms
- Embedding in a product or platform used by other people, which needs the OEM License below whatever your revenue

➡ By using ApexCharts under this license, you confirm that **you qualify as a Small Organization**.

---

### 💼 Commercial License (Paid)

The Commercial License applies to all paid SKUs (Pro, Premium and OEM).

The **Community License** is available at no cost **only** to organizations with **annual revenue under $2M USD**.
If your organization earns $2M USD or more annually, you must purchase one of our paid licenses.

Pro and Premium are priced per developer, and priced on the features you use rather than on your revenue.

✅ What's included:

- Use in internal tools and commercial applications
- Modifications and app-level distribution
- 12-month subscription with updates & support

🚫 Not allowed:

- Redistribution in toolkits, SDKs, or platforms
- Use by unlicensed developers
- Competing charting products

### 🏛 Non-Profit Tiers

Non-Profits are treated like commercial entities:

- Annual operating budget **less than $2 million USD**
- _Eligible for Community licenses_

or

- Annual operating budget **greater than $2 million USD**
- _Commercial license with possible discounts for Community, Pro, Premium and OEM products_

---

### 🔄 OEM / Redistribution License (Paid)

Required if you are **embedding ApexCharts into a product or platform used by other people**, such as:

- No-code dashboards
- Developer platforms
- Embedded BI tools
- SDKs

✅ What's included:

- Redistribution rights for **one application or product**
- **Unlimited developer seats** on that application, with no separate per-developer license to buy
- **Every licensed feature**, at the highest tier
- 12-month subscription with updates & support

Your end users need no license of their own. A second application needs a second OEM license. White-label, resale, and affiliate arrangements are quoted separately.

✅ OEM **not required** if your app simply renders static charts and users **cannot** configure or interact with them.

---

### ⏳ When a subscription ends

Your license key expires, and **licensed features render with a trial watermark**. You no longer receive updates, new features, or technical support. Work built only from free features is unaffected, and your existing deployment keeps running.

For OEM licenses, continued redistribution requires an active subscription.

---

### ⚠️ License Acceptance

By installing ApexCharts (e.g., via `npm install apexcharts`), you are agreeing to the applicable license based on your usage:

- Community License (if under $2M revenue)
- Commercial License (if over $2M revenue)
- OEM License (if redistributing to third-party users)
