End User License Agreement (EULA)

This License Agreement is made between Fatype Sàrl, hereinafter called the Licensor, and the buyer hereinafter called the Licensee, who is purchasing a license to use the font software, herein referred as “font” or “fonts”.

Grant of License

The Licensee must agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement to download, install or use the fonts. Upon full payment, the Licensor grants the Licensee a perpetual non-exclusive non-transferable license to use the fonts under the following conditions. Every font user must be covered by a license. Each license is valid for one legal entity only. Fonts cannot be shared with clients or third parties. If a client requires fonts, a license must be purchased for the client. Installation and or usage of the fonts without a proper license is strictly forbidden and may lead to legal actions.

Copyright and general principles

A font is a set of glyph outlines, metrics data and other data digitally encoded into software. 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, but only a license to use the font software under certain conditions.
   The Licensor represents and warrants that it has the right to grant licenses to use the fonts it provides, and 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 or reverse engineer the fonts, or otherwise discover its source code. Webfonts excepted, fonts may not be uploaded. Fonts may not be copied, duplicated, rented, leased, sublicensed or lent to another person or entity. The Licensee is granted permission to make 2 copies for backup purposes. These backup copies must be reasonably protected from access via internet or network systems. 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 license/invoice. Fonts cannot be used on other or more mediums than those specified in the license. In case of doubt, or if you think the terms prevent a reasonable usage, please contact us.

   Desktop allows the Licensee to installing fonts on computers to use in software such as desktop publishing and office suites, in order to produce documents, images, logotypes, books, magazines, brochures, flyers, stickers, and other printed matters, packaging, videos, signage. Web- or cloud-based applications, such as but not limited to Figma, Canva, etc., are considered the same as computer-based software, and require a Desktop license as well, covering all users of the fonts, with separate licenses for teams spanning across legal entities.
   With a “Desktop” licensing option, a specified number of Users can install and use the fonts on computers belonging to the Licensee or its employees. The fonts can be used by the Licensee and his employees only, and cannot be shared with third parties, for example clients, freelancers or subcontractors. Separate legal entities requires separate licenses. Additional Users requires upgrading the license. Web- or cloud-based team members from separate organizations require separate licenses, or our Branding licensing option. The Licensee can embed fonts into PDFs as long as fonts are subset, and the PDF cannot be edited. Logotypes must be vectorized. Other documents cannot include fonts in embedded form.

   Web allows the Licensee to embed fonts in websites. The Licensee may install and use the fonts on the specified number of web domains not exceeding the specified number in “Current Traffic” at the moment the fonts are purchased. “Current Traffic” is the number of users, or “unique users”, per month at the moment the license is being purchased, measured as the average of the last three complete months. The Licensee must use an “analytics” tool providing accurate numbers. After purchase of the license, the number of web users is unlimited.
   The domains must belong to the Licensee or clients of the Licensee. For separate clients, separate Web licenses are required. For example, a webdesigner cannot purchase one single license for 5 domains and create websites for 5 separate clients. One domain is defined as the content accessible at one single top-level domain name, such as “website.com”. Subdomains, such as “about.website.com” are not counted as additional domains. The Licensee must register the URL of websites in his Fatype account, under the “My Licenses” section.
   The Web license authorises webfonts (woff and woff2 formats only) to be uploaded on a server in order to publish web pages which render the fonts via @font-face in CSS. If possible, the Licensee is required to restrict unauthorized access of the fonts with an “.htaccess“ file (a model is provided with the order). The Licensee is not authorised to convert font files in other formats, directly or through third-party applications (such as Font Squirrel), uploading other font formats is strictly forbidden. Contact us for any questions or requests.

   Mobile Apps covers embedding fonts in mobile applications, known as “Apps”, developped for iOS or Android platforms. With this licensing option, the Licensee can embed the fonts on the specified number of Apps, and the Apps can be used by the specified number of Users. Users are counted as the number of people that have used the App at least once within the last full month. The same App adapted for both operating systems count as one (1) App. Additional Apps and additional monthly Users requires upgrading the license. Licensing for other platforms than iOS and Android is available upon request.

   Social Media covers use of fonts on Social Media platforms (such as but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Threads, Snapchat, etc.). This option is an add-on to the Desktop option, and is only necessary if one of the social media accounts has more than 100’000 followers/subscribers. With this option, the Licensee can post images and video with the fonts on any social media platform. Followers are counted as the highest number from all of the Licensee’s accounts, not the total of all accounts. So a company with 100’000 Instagram followers and 200’000 Youtube subscribers is considered to have 200’000 followers. Acquiring more followers than registered in the License requires upgrading the License.

   eBooks covers embedding fonts in eBooks using the EPUB format standard. With an “eBooks” option, the Licensee can embed the fonts on the specified number of eBooks. Additional eBooks requires additional licensing. Licensing for other eBook formats is available upon request.
