  • "Site" means all websites operated by MUI, including but not limited to https://mui.com/.
  • "Licensee" means the business and/or entity that you represent.
  • "Licensor" means the creator and owner of the SOFTWARE: MUI.
  • "Effective Date" means the date on which the agreement is made effective. This is the date of the purchase.
  • "Software" means the copyrighted materials owned by the Licensor, subject to the terms of this agreement.
  • "Licensed Developers" means the Licensee's (and any of its affiliates') employees, workers, and contractors who are authorized by the Licensee to develop software products that include the Software.

  • A "production" environment is where the end-user can see, experience, and interact with the product.

2. License

2.1. License grant

In exchange for the fee owed under https://mui.com/pricing/, or as otherwise agreed, the Licensor hereby grants Licensee and its subsidiaries and affiliate(s) (collectively "Affiliates") a license to install and use the Software.

The license granted to the Licensee and its Affiliates allows a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable (subject to restrictions below), royalty-free license, commencing on the Effective Date and concluding at the end of the License Term.

2.2. Perpetual in production

The Licensee is allowed to perpetually use in a production environment any versions of the Software released before the end of the License Term.

2.3. Non-perpetual outside of production

The Licensee doesn't need to renew its license if no developers worked with the API and source code of the Software in any capacity for at least one month. Otherwise, all the developers contributing changes to the front-end code of a project that includes the Software need a active license.

2.4. Deployment

Licensee may sublicense the Software as a part of a larger work containing more than Software under a limited license.

Licensee shall ensure (and shall procure that its Affiliates shall ensure) that the terms of any sub-license are in writing and are substantially the same and as restrictive as the terms of this agreement (except that the sub-licensee shall not have the right to sublicense its rights).

At no time may Licensee include any portion of the Software in any project that directly or indirectly competes with it.

For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may not use the Software, or any portions thereof, for an project that can be described as a development toolkit or library, an application builder, a website builder, a user interface designer, or any project that is intended for use by developers or designers, or has a similar purpose or functionality, except with the express written agreement of Licensor.

2.5. Restrictions

The Licensee shall not sell, rent, lease, distribute, assign, transfer or encumber rights to the Software.

2.6. License key

To help Licensee to stay compliant with the terms of this agreement, the Software may require the installation of a license key. If a license key is required:

  • (a) The Licensor will make available to the Licensee a valid license key.
  • (b) The Software may raise warnings, based on the license key, when it detects that the current use of the Software by Licensee is not consistent with this agreement, for example, when using a version of the Software released after the license of Licensee has expired.

Please note that the license key does not cover every scenario, so possession of a valid license key does not by itself confer the right to use the Software.

2.7. Required quantity of licenses

The number of developers licensed must correspond to the maximum number of concurrent developers (in any continuous 24 hour period) contributing changes to the front-end code of the projects that use the Software.

For example, a developer using the Software indirectly through a wrapper library needs to be licensed, a developer working on the front-end code of a project that includes the Software but who doesn't use the Software directly needs to be licensed.

To define the previous terms more precisely:

  • (a) "front-end code" is code that is executed in a browser, JavaScript most of the time.
  • (b) "concurrent" is development work carried out during the same calendar day, regardless of timezone.

If the Licensee has not purchased sufficient licenses, Licensee will be required to purchase such licenses as required to comply with the terms of this agreement, at a price determined by Licensor, but not to exceed full price. Support will co-terminate with existing licenses.

2.8. Third party

The Licensee may allow its agents, contractors, and outsourcing service providers (each a "Permitted Third Party") to use the Software licensed to Licensee hereunder solely for Licensee's benefit in accordance with the terms of this agreement and Licensee is responsible for any such Permitted Third Party's compliance with this agreement in such use. Any breach by any Permitted Third Party of the terms of this agreement will be considered Licensee's breach.

2.9. Plans

MUI offers different products under different plans and licenses. This agreement details the terms and conditions of the MUI X Pro and Premium plans. The Software may have dependencies on MIT licensed code.

Some functionality of the Software is only allowed for use in the Premium plan. See the comparison table for more details.

3. Source code

3.1. The Licensor shall make the Software available in source code form to the Licensee. The source code is currently publicly available at https://github.com/mui/mui-x.

3.2. The Licensee and its Affiliates shall be permitted to create modifications to the source code of the Software for the Licensee's (and its Affiliates') use in accordance with these terms.

3.3. In the event that the Licensee and/or its Affiliates create any modifications to the source code of the Software, the Licensor shall not be obliged to provide support services in relation to any such modification(s). The warranty doesn't cover any such modification(s).

4. Evaluation (trial) licenses

You are free to try the Software:

  • (a) for a limited period of 30 days starting from the first use of the Software in a non-production environment.
  • (b) for the development of code not intended for production (for example the reproduction of a bug in a GitHub issue, doing a performance benchmark).

After the given trial period, you must license the Software if you continue to use it, whether in a production or non-production environment.

5. Payment

The Licensee agrees to pay the license fee for the Software specified on its quote or the Site at the time he entered this agreement.

The license fee is due by Licensee upon receipt of the Licensor's invoice. The Licensee must pay each valid invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. The payment must be done using an accepted payment method. The Licensor may charge the Licensee interest on all overdue payments at a rate of 1.50% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if lower).

Unless the currency is expressly provided, all amounts are in United States Dollars.

5.2. Taxes

Unless expressly provided, all amounts are exclusive of value-added tax ("VAT") which, where chargeable by the Licensor, shall be payable by the Licensee at the rate and in the manner prescribed by law. All other taxes, duties, customs, or similar charges shall be the responsibility of the Licensee.

6. Updates

6.1. Maintenance

The Licensee will be eligible to receive all updates and upgrades for the Software during the License Term, starting from the Effective Date.

Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this agreement.

8.2. Intellectual property

The Licensor hereby represents and warrants that the Software does not and will not violate or infringe any third party claims in regards to intellectual property, patents, trade secrets, and/or trademarks and that to the best of its knowledge no legal action has been taken against it for any infringement or violation of any third-party intellectual property rights.

8.3. Logic integrity

The Licensor warrants that the Software shall not knowingly include: malware, viruses, trap doors, back doors or other means or functions which will detrimentally interfere with or otherwise adversely affect Licensee's use of the Software or which will damage or destroy data or other property of Licensee.

8.4. Compliance with documentation

The Licensor warrants to Licensee that, for twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, the Software shall perform substantially in accordance with the documentation. Licensee's exclusive remedy, and Licensor's sole liability, with respect to any breach of this warranty, will be for Licensor to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct the non-compliance (provided that Licensee notify Licensor in writing within the warranty period and allow Licensor a reasonable cure period). If Licensor, at its discretion, reasonably determines that correction is not economically or technically feasible, Licensor may terminate Licensee license to the Software and provide Licensee a full refund of the fee paid to Licensor with respect to the Software.

We provide no warranty, however, for unstable features of the Software. A feature is considered unstable if exposed to Licensee:

  • (a) through an API that includes "unstable" in its name
  • (b) or in a package for which the version is not considered stable according to SemVer versioning models, e.g. alpha, beta, or other pre-releases
  • (c) or documented as "experimental".

8.5. Warranties disclaimers

9. Limitation of liability

9.1. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall either party be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use the Software or the provision of or failure to provide support, even if it has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

9.2. Licensee understands that the Software may produce inaccurate results because of a failure or fault within the Software or failure by Licensee to properly use and or deploy the Software. Except for Licensor's obligations regarding 8.3 Intellectual property, Licensee assumes full and sole responsibility for any use of the Software and bears the entire risk for failures or faults within the Software.

9.3. Each party agrees that regardless of the cause of failure or fault or the form of any claim, EACH PARTY'S SOLE REMEDY AND SOLE OBLIGATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE PAID TO LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE. This limited liability, as it relates to Licensor, is void if failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, alteration, unauthorized use, or misapplication of the Software. The limitations and exclusions herein shall not apply to indemnification obligations hereunder.

10. Indemnification
