If I purchase a theme do I get the updates automatically like with free themes?
I am concerned regarding two things: the easy of update, I do expect to get updates the same way I am getting for free themes, so no manual uploads of manual click (theme auto-update can be enabled in WP)
Also, something is quite unclear regarding theme update: “theme lifetime”, how would you define theme lifetime.
To be correct you should declare that you are going to support a them for at least a number of years/months, or having an earliest EOL date. This would make it easier for the clients to decide if they want to invest or not.
