End User License Agreement (EULA)

Presentation

The Branding license is a new system where the end-client is the license owner. Price is determined by company size and initial metrics. This allows for the fonts to be used across all branding media with only one thing to monitor, employee count, instead of many (computers, websites, web traffic, apps, etc.). No more worrying about missing a license for advertising or something else. Simple and fair.
   With the client’s agreement and information, a designer or agency can buy a Branding license for the client, and receive the included Brand Partner license to use the fonts in service of the client on as many computers as needed, for free.

Grant of License

This License Agreement is entered into by and between the Licensor and the Licensee. The Licensee must agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement to download, install, display or use the fonts in any way. Upon full payment, the Licensor grants the Licensee a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable license to use the fonts under the terms and conditions set forth herein. A license is valid for one legal entity only. Fonts cannot be shared across entities. Installation or use of the fonts without a valid license is strictly forbidden.

IP, Rights, and general principles

The Licensor retains full rights and ownership to intellectual property of the fonts both as artwork and software. The Licensee acknowledges that this Agreement does not grant him any intellectual property rights in the fonts.
   The Licensor represents and warrants that it has the right to grant licenses to use the fonts it provides, and that use in compliance with this agreement will not infringe any third party intellectual property rights. Further, Licensor represents and warrants that the fonts are original creative works, and are not derivative work infringing any third party rights.
   The Licensee agrees not to decompile, modify, reformat, translate, reverse engineer the fonts, or otherwise discover its source code. Fonts may not be copied, duplicated, rented, leased, sublicensed or lent to a third party. Except for purposes authorized by these terms, fonts may not be uploaded. Copies for backup purposes are authorized. Backup copies must be reasonably protected from public access. The Licensee will not make or encourage third parties to make derivative or modified versions of the font.

Licensing options

Fatype Sàrl grants the Licensee the right to use the fonts according to the option(s) and numerical limits set in the purchased license/invoice. In case of doubt, or if you think the terms prevent reasonable usage, please contact us.

   Branding:
Granted to the Client. The Licensor grants the Client a “Branding” license to use the fonts for all internal and public-facing communications. This license replaces the traditional media- and usage-based licenses (“Desktop,” “Web, “Mobile Apps”, etc.) and their multiple metrics, with a single metric to keep track of: Employee count. All branding media are therefore covered, without limits on number of computers, users, prints, copies, websites, domains, web traffic/users/views, mobile apps, app users, followers/subscribers, media buys, etc.

Specifically authorized uses include:
– Installation and use on computers
– Design, publishing, and office suites software to produce documents, images, videos, files, non-editable PDF files, etc.
– Websites, by self-hosting the webfonts (WOFF and WOFF2 files only via @font-face)
– Books, magazines, booklets, packaging, and all printed matters
– Logotypes
– Registering trademarks for logotypes, wordmarks, monograms, etc.
– Mobile Apps and eBooks/eMagazines embedding
– Social media
– Developping and maintaining large scale visual identities
– Marketing and advertising campaigns including: (Digital) Out-of-Home, Web, TV, Cinema, Social Media, Streaming, etc.
– Signage, interior decoration, wall-art, etc.
– Team use on web- or cloud-based design applications (Figma, Canva), as long as all users are covered by a Branding or Brand Partner license.

The Branding Licensee warrants that the numbers provided to Licensor are accurate and truthful. The scope and validity of this Branding license is determined by the Company Size defined as the Employee count on the invoice. Licensee may select a higher tier of employees to cover expected growth.
   Fonts may be used by the Licensee and his employees only. The Licensee must be the owner of the websites where the fonts are used. The Licensee must register the URL of the main website in his Fatype.com account.

By default, the Branding license includes one Brand Partner license, to be issued to an agency, freelance designer, or a third party needing to use the fonts on behalf of the Branding license owner. Additional Brand Partners can be selected at purchase or purchased later. The Licensee can then invite Brand Partners directly via his online account, to whom Fatype will issue a license and send the fonts.
   The Licensee can authorize one Designer to purchase and manage Branding and Brand Partner licensing on his behalf. The Licensee is responsible for the proper licensing and will verify and ensure the issued license is accurate and truthful. The Licensee will ensure that, over time, licensing remains up-to-date with the actual Employee count by verifying that count yearly and notify the Licensor of any increase. Licensee may ask Licensor for a yearly email reminder.

If the Branding Licensee’s Company Size grows beyond the licensed employees number, the Licensee must purchase an appropriate upgrade within one-year. A 20% discount for advance/expected growth of Company Size is available upon request.
   If the upgrade is not purchased within the one-year period, the Branding license and all connected Brand Partners licenses shall be automatically suspended, and any further use of the fonts is strictly prohibited. If the Licensee uses the fonts during suspension, they shall be liable for retroactive unauthorized use fees. These fees are calculated as a multiplier of the upgrade fee, based on the time elapsed between the date of suspension and the date the unauthorized use is ceased.
   Upon request by the Licensor, Licensee agrees to provide accurate active employee count within 15 days. In case of doubt, upon thirty days prior notice, Licensor or a designated third party may audit Licensee’s records to verify the employee count and compliance with this Agreement. Any such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours, and subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations. Licensor shall bear the costs of the audit; however, if the audit reveals that the Licensee has underreported its employee count by twenty percent or more, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all reasonable costs and expenses of the audit.

“Web & app users,” and “social media followers” count are required solely to price the license at purchase. Web & app users is calculated as the total number of web and app users per month at the moment the license is purchased, measured as the average of the last three complete months, on all the Licensee’s websites and mobile applications. Social media followers is determined as the highest number of followers or subscribers from all the social media platforms used by the Licensee.

   Brand Partner:
Granted to the Designer commissioned by the Client. The Licensor grants the Designer a “Brand Partner” license to use the fonts strictly for the purpose of creating and providing assets for the Client, and to present the work produced for the Client in his portfolio, website, social media, etc.
   Font use by the Designer is not limited to specific numbers of computers, users, prints, copies, websites, domains, web traffic/users/views, mobile apps, app users, followers/subscribers, media buys, or other metrics. The fonts may be used by the Licensee and his employees only.
