# Theme license & Transfer When you purchase Sleek theme from the Shopify Theme Store, **that theme is licensed exclusively to the store where the purchase was made**. :octagonal\_sign: **Unlicensed themes don't qualify for support or theme updates.** For more detailed information on licensing, refer to [Shopify’s Terms of Service](https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms). ## Unlicensed theme use If you're notified that you have an unlicensed theme or you've received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice, then you must take one of the following specific actions: * **Purchase**: Buy the theme for the store where you plan to use it. For all that's worth it, Sleek is your best choice. {% embed url="" %} * **Delete**: If you choose not to purchase the theme, simply remove it from your theme library. * **Transfer**: In cases where you previously purchased a theme for an old store but no longer use it there, you might be able to transfer it to your new store. {% hint style="warning" %} We reserve the right to report your store to the Shopify legal team and issue a DMCA legal report to shut down your store if you are using an unlicensed theme. {% endhint %} ## Am I allowed to import a theme from a different store? Importing a theme to another store is only possible if the theme was originally purchased from the Shopify Theme Store for that specific store. ## How to transfer a license? Currently, **Shopify doesn't offer a way to transfer a theme license** between stores without permanently closing the original store. For specific instructions and requirements on transferring a license, please *reach out to Shopify support*. ***
