+**Extensions.** The software in the extensions available in the Woo Marketplace is licensed under GPL. Extensions may have their own requirements (like requiring a connection to their servers in order to provide their services) and terms that apply.

 **Compatibility, access, updates, and support.** When you purchase Paid Services from WooCommerce.com, you'll receive access to any necessary downloads along with updates and support (as described in our [Support Policy](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/)) for those Paid Services for a period of one year, starting on the date of your purchase. Once your year is up, you'll need to renew your subscription if you'd like continued access to updates or support, or if you need to download any files again.When you purchase Woo Paid Services as part of a Jetpack subscription or bundle, you'll have access to them as long as you have an active Jetpack plan.
