BuildsByLuke Product Guarantee Notice – EU Legal Warranty for WooCommerce

Which stores does this affect?

Every shop selling physical goods to consumers in the EU — including sellers established outside the EU. Neither the EmpCo Directive (EU) 2024/825 nor Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 contains a small-business exemption.

Compliance note

No plugin can provide 100% compliance, and nothing in this plugin is legal advice. This plugin helps you display the harmonised notice, the durability label (Pro) and the GPSR information set; whether your shop meets Regulation (EU) 2025/1960, Directive (EU) 2024/825 and Regulation (EU) 2023/988 in full remains the responsibility of the site administrators. If in doubt, consult a lawyer familiar with EU consumer law.

Trademarks, artwork & affiliation

• “GARAN” is the name of the European Union’s harmonised durability label . This plugin displays that official label (Pro) and refers to it by name only to describe what it displays. This plugin is an independent product of BuildsByLuke and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the European Union or the European Commission .
• The notice and label artwork are © European Union — official files published by the European Commission for traders to reproduce, bundled unmodified (the label’s three editable fields are filled in as the Regulation permits). The Inter typeface (the font Annex II prescribes for the label) is bundled under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
• WooCommerce is a trademark of its respective owner; this plugin is an independent extension for WooCommerce and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

External services

Rendering the notice, the safety block and (in Pro) the label makes no external requests of any kind — all artwork, fonts and data ship inside the plugin.

Freemius (freemius.com), who sell and license the Pro version

The plugin uses the Freemius SDK for licensing. Freemius is contacted in four situations. Every one of them is something you click. It is never contacted in the background.

1. 01If you opt in on the activation screen (or start a trial / activate a licence). Sent to api.freemius.com: your site URL, your WordPress and PHP versions, and the email address of the account you activate with. Skipping the opt-in is a first-class choice and the plugin is fully functional without it.
2. 02If you open the “Upgrade” page under the plugin’s menu. Your own server (not your browser) asks api.freemius.com for current plan prices, sending your site URL. The page itself loads no third-party scripts — everything it renders is served from this plugin’s own folder. The payment SDK’s bundled pricing script used to inject Google Analytics and a remote checkout script into wp-admin on that page; this build removes both, along with the SDK’s remaining remote references (all modifications are listed under “Source code” below).
3. 03If you open the “Contact Us” page , which is Freemius’s hosted support form (wp.freemius.com). The link carries your site URL and your WordPress login URL so the form knows which site you are writing about.
4. 04If you click a plan to buy , you go to Freemius’s hosted checkout (checkout.freemius.com). It receives your site URL, site name, WordPress and PHP versions, and your WordPress administrator email address (pre-filled, sent whether or not you complete the purchase). Freemius is the merchant of record. Their checkout page loads its own third-party scripts; we do not control that list. If you never click a plan, none of it loads.

Terms: https://freemius.com/terms/ — Privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/

Installing, activating, skipping the opt-in, using every screen, deactivating (the SDK’s deactivation-feedback dialog is switched off in this build, so deactivation is one click and sends nothing), WordPress’s update cycle and all scheduled tasks complete without contacting Freemius at all. Free updates come from WordPress.org like any other plugin.

Pro only, and only when you configure it: the weekly conformance summary can be POSTed to a webhook URL you provide (e.g. your own Slack webhook). Nothing is sent unless you enter a URL.

Source code

This plugin’s own PHP is unminified and readable in the plugin folder.

The one exception to “unminified” is the third-party licensing SDK in vendor/freemius/ , which ships pre-minified. Those files are the Freemius WordPress SDK, published under the GPL, and their unminified source and build tooling are public:

• Freemius WordPress SDK: https://github.com/Freemius/wordpress-sdk
• The pricing screen bundled at vendor/freemius/assets/js/pricing/freemius-pricing.js : https://github.com/Freemius/pricing-page

Local modifications to the bundled SDK (each marked with a /* BuildsByLuke Product Guarantee Notice: */ comment where practical): the pricing script’s Google Analytics injection and remote checkout-script loader are removed, its ambient analytics track() calls are stubbed, a remote loader image referenced from the SDK’s CSS is replaced with an inline data: URI, and remote avatar images on the pricing page are disabled — so no plugin screen requests anything from outside your site.
