Architectural Covenant & SLA

Built for extreme sub-50ms catalog response times

We pledge that no future updates to the Verse core engine will introduce mandatory Woo dependencies. Custom tables (`wp_verse_orders`, `wp_verse_inventory`, `wp_verse_sessions`) remain strictly unbundled, optimized with B-tree indices for high-concurrency flash sales.

No Post-Meta Thrashing Native GraphQL / REST Pure PHP 8.2+ Typed Codebase

03

One active domain and renewals

The premium license permits one active production domain at a time. You may transfer the active domain by releasing the old one through the seller. Renewals are manual, and payment must be verified before your premium entitlement is extended.

Domain Allocation & Staging Exemption Policy

A

Unlimited Staging

Subdomains containing `staging.`, `dev.`, `test.`, or top-level `.local` domains do not consume commercial license seats.

B

Self-Serve Transfer

You may re-bind a license key to a new primary domain directly from the Verse Account Portal once every 24 hours without human ticket approval.
