| # License | ||
|
|
||
| We added a commercial license to be able to provide better support and features | ||
| for Shepherd users. If you are using Shepherd for a commercial project, you will | ||
| need to obtain a commercial license at | ||
| [shepherdjs.dev](http://shepherdjs.dev/pricing). | ||
|
|
||
| However, if you are using a Shepherd version **older than v14.0.0**, you don't | ||
| need to obtain a commercial license. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Commercial license | ||
|
|
||
| If you want to use Shepherd for a commercial application, theme or plugin the | ||
| commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source | ||
| code is kept proprietary. Purchase a commercial license at | ||
| [shepherdjs.dev](http://shepherdjs.dev/pricing) | ||
|

Clarify the 30-day evaluation period in the Evaluation & Testing section.
The "up to 30 days" evaluation clause lacks essential details that could enable unintended loopholes: it doesn't specify whether this is a one-time period per organization, repeatable per evaluation attempt, or defined by consecutive calendar days versus actual usage days. Without explicit scope boundaries, organizations could repeatedly claim evaluation status. Add specific language such as "a one-time 30-day evaluation period per organization" or "30 consecutive calendar days from first use" to prevent disputes.
