This theme is released as open source and you can change it as much as you want but please leave the credits in place to myself. If you do want to remove the credit link then you are free to do so but please consider making a small donation to encourage me to develop further themes.

Please be aware that this theme is made available free of charge and as such, is offered without warranty or guaranteed to work as expected.
