Font Software For Desktop End User License Agreement.
Version 1.4, last updated: October 19, 2026
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PRINT THIS FONT SOFTWARE FOR DESKTOP END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR FURTHER REFERENCE.
This Font Software For Desktop End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is by and between you and The Type Founders, LLC (“Licensor”) and governs the use of Licensor’s proprietary software or instructions which, when used on an appropriate device or devices, generates typeface and typographic designs and ornaments (including all applications, code, tools, and related documentation) made available to you in connection with this Agreement (the “Software”). You can contact Licensor regarding this agreement at [email protected].
“You” and similar terms refers to both: (a) the individual who is physically or technologically accessing or using the Software, as well as (b) the organization, business, or entity on whose behalf the individual is accessing or using the Software (“Organization”).
By accessing or using the Software, and entering into this Agreement, the individual user represents and warrants that they are authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of themselves and such Organization. For the purposes of this Agreement, “use” of the Software occurs when an individual gives commands (whether by keyboard or otherwise) that are followed by the Software, regardless of the location in which the Software resides, or when the Software and related instructions are otherwise executed. Use of the Software also includes its operation by an automated workflow, script, system or model, whether or not an individual initiates each individual output.
This Agreement will be binding on you upon the earliest of: (i) your execution, submission, or other acceptance of this Agreement, either electronically or in writing (including by clicking, “Accept” or similar when prompted), or (ii) your installation, access, or use of the Software or any related documentation. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT INSTALL, ACCESS, OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
If you and Licensor are parties to a different agreement related to the Software dated prior to the “Last Updated” date above, you hereby agree that your access and use of the Software after the last version of this Agreement is posted to our website or Software constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement in lieu of and superseding any prior terms and conditions related to your use of the Software.
You understand that we reserve the right to change or amend this Agreement from time to time. Except as otherwise required by law, all changes shall be immediately effective upon their posting to our website or Software.
By accessing or using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and otherwise meet all of the requirements contained herein to enter into this Agreement. Those who choose to access the Software from outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in their respective location in doing so.
License Grant
Licensor hereby grants you, subject to all of the terms and conditions herein and your compliance with all applicable laws, a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except as expressly permitted herein) license, solely for your internal business purposes, to:
- install a copy (or copies, if using in connection with multiple applications) of the Software on one device per Authorized User (each a “Workstation”), including by means of a font management application or service, whether on your premises or hosted on your behalf, that is used solely to activate the Software on Workstations, restricts access to authenticated Authorized Users, and does not permit Authorized Users, other than your administrators of that service, to download or export the Software as a separate file;
- permit the number of Authorized Users specified in your Licensor account or purchase document (e.g., receipt or invoice) to access and execute the Software on such Workstations to: (i) create, edit, view, print and distribute materials, provided that: (1) if you distribute such materials, the materials do not contain the Software, and (2) if you create a static graphic image with a representation of a typeface and typographic design or ornament, such static graphic image does not correspond to glyphs or glyph combinations in the Software which are individually addressed by software, a website, a hardware device or other means to render such designs and ornaments; and/or (ii) embed the Software into an electronic document or data file (e.g., a .pdf manual or an e-book) (“Electronic Document”) and duplicate the Software as an integrated part of any such Electronic Document, provided that Electronic Documents with embedded Software may be distributed only if (1) the Electronic Document is not distributed to the general public (or to some subset of the general public) as a commercial product for a fee or other consideration, and (2) the Software cannot be fully or partially extracted from such Electronic Documents; and
- make backup copies of the Software, provided that such copies are for your internal backup purposes only and remain in your exclusive control.
All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Licensor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting you any exclusivity with respect to Licensor’s business or the Software. Any copies that you are expressly permitted to make pursuant to this Agreement must contain the same copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Software. You may embed the Software in an Electronic Document solely for print and view. You may provide such Electronic Document to a commercial printer for printing only. You may take a copy of the Software used for a particular Electronic Document to a commercial printer provided that the printer represents to you that it has purchased or been granted a license to use that particular Software. Although use of those trademarks that are associated with the Software is not required, if you elect to do so, you may use such trademarks (i) in your advertising, publicity, literature, packaging and other promotional activities in connection with the Software incorporated into your products or materials, and (ii) to identify the Software that is/are embedded in or accessed through your products or materials as permitted by this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Licensor owns all right, title and interest in and to such trademarks and your use of such trademarks is to be strictly in accordance with Licensor’s trademark usage guidelines and policies.
Authorized Users
Authorized Users must be your employees and must be advised of the terms and conditions herein in connection with their use of the Software. You are fully responsible and liable for any acts or omissions of the Authorized Users. The maximum number of Authorized Users who may use the Software pursuant to this Agreement is limited to the number of Authorized Users indicated in your Licensor account or purchase documentation (e.g., receipt or invoice). The number of Authorized Users shall be counted regardless of whether and when actual use occurs and thus equal the total of all individuals who are authorized and can potentially use the Software during the Term (non-concurrent use).
An Authorized User may use the Software alongside artificial intelligence or machine learning tools in the course of that Authorized User’s own work, where the Authorized User directs each instance of output. That permission does not extend to the training of any model, which is prohibited under the License Restrictions section, or to the generation of output by an automated process where no individual directs each instance of output, which is not licensed under this Agreement.
License Limitations
You have licensed rights in this Agreement that may be subject to certain volume limitations, which (if applicable) are reflected in your Licensor account or in your purchase document (e.g., a receipt or invoice). You will maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date records with respect to your use of the Software and will provide such records to Licensor upon Licensor’s request. If requested by Licensor, you will certify to Licensor that any and all use of the Software by you is in conformity with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which shall be provided to Licensor within 30 days of its request. In the event your use of the Software exceeds any limitations imposed on your use, you agree to license from Licensor the necessary additional amounts and pay any fee associated with such increase.
License Restrictions
Using the Software in any manner not authorized herein constitutes a breach of this Agreement. You will not do any of the following, or permit any Authorized User or third party to do any of the following: (a) exceed the limited license rights granted in this Agreement including, without limitation, the sharing of passwords or other login credentials with those not given explicit rights to access and use the Software under this Agreement; (b) remove any proprietary notices, labels, or marks from the Software; (c) sell, transfer (except as permitted herein), lend, lease, license, or sublicense the Software; (d) modify the Software in any way, including to create, directly or indirectly, derivative works from or of the Software or any portion thereof (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein); (e) if the Software contains embedding bits that indicate that the Software is only authorized for certain purposes, change or alter the embedding bits; (f) circumvent any digital rights management or copyright management protection associated with the Software; (g) translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software; (h) use any manual or automated software, bots, devices, scripts, robots, or other means to access, “scrape,” “crawl,” or “spider” any web pages or data contained in the Software; (i) falsely state, impersonate, or otherwise misrepresent any information relevant to your use of the Software; (j) access or use the Software for benchmarking or other competitive purposes; (k) embed the Software in open source software or otherwise make the Software (or cause the Software to be required to be made) available to the public; (l) install the Software on any server, or upload, store, or otherwise make the Software available on or through any digital asset management system or any third-party hosted or cloud-based service or platform, other than a font management application or service used as permitted under Section 1(a); for clarity, no digital asset management system, brand portal or asset library, file sharing service, or design or collaboration platform is such a service; (m) use the Software, any part of it, or any glyph, outline, metric, kerning or other design data taken from it, to train, fine-tune or otherwise develop the weights or parameters of any artificial intelligence model, or as training data for one, provided that you may create and use descriptive metadata about the Software for classification and search where that metadata cannot be used to rebuild the Software or its outlines; or (n) use the Software, any part of it, or any glyph, outline, metric, kerning or other design data taken from it, as the basis for creating any new, derivative, modified or substitute typeface, font, glyph set or lettering, whether that creation is performed by you, by an Authorized User, by a contractor or other third party engaged by you, or by or with the assistance of any artificial intelligence, machine learning or deep learning system, and whether or not the resulting design is distributed or intended to compete with the Software. Rendering, generating or otherwise producing documents, images or other output set in the Software, as permitted under this Agreement, is not the creation of a new, derivative, modified or substitute typeface under item (n). During the term of the Agreement, Licensor may, in Licensor’s sole discretion, audit your, and your Authorized Users’, use of the Software to ensure compliance with this Agreement.
Intellectual Property
As between you and Licensor, Licensor solely and exclusively owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, its structure, organization, code, and related files, including all intellectual and industrial property rights therein, including all copyright, design and trademarks rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as transferring or granting you any ownership or similar right in or to the Software. You agree that the Software is protected by the copyright law or other intellectual and industrial property rights of the United States and by the copyright law and other intellectual and industrial property rights of other nations, and by international treaties. You agree that the Software, its structure, organization, code, and related files are valuable property of Licensor and that any intentional or negligent use of the Software not expressly permitted by the Agreement constitutes an infringement of intellectual and industrial property rights of Licensor and/or third parties. All rights in and to the Software, including unpublished rights, are reserved under the copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions.
Limited Warranty
Licensor warrants to you that the Software will effect a faithful reproduction of the underlying typeface design which is of a quality consistent with industry standards. To make a warranty claim, you must notify Licensor in text form within ninety (90) days of the date of your purchase of access to the Software at the email address above. Your claim must provide sufficient information regarding your licensing of the Software so as to enable Licensor to verify the existence and date of the transaction. The entire, exclusive, and cumulative liability and remedy in connection with the foregoing warranty shall be that Licensor will use reasonable efforts to cause the Software to effect a faithful reproduction of the underlying typeface design which is of a quality consistent with industry standards as soon as commercially practicable.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL SOFTWARE AND OTHER MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, AND LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SOFTWARE OR OTHER MATERIALS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, FREEDOM FROM INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. LICENSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE (A) FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR (B) FOR ANY CLAIM AGAINST YOU BY ANY THIRD PARTY SEEKING SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, IN EACH CASE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTIES, FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE.
In no event shall Licensor’s aggregate liability to you in connection with this Agreement exceed: (i) the amounts paid to Licensor by you in exchange for the rights granted under this Agreement in the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) $100, whichever is greater.
Indemnification
You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor, and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, suits, fees, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, brought or asserted by any third party arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Software; or (b) your violation of applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
Termination
The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the effective date of the applicable purchase of access to the Software by you and shall continue according to the terms of such purchase.
Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately if you are in breach or default of any obligation hereunder by providing you notice of the same. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted to you hereunder immediately terminate and you and your Authorized Users shall cease all use of the Software. You must destroy the original and any and all copies of the Software.
The parties’ respective obligations hereunder which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive – for example, those sections of this Agreement titled, “Intellectual Property,” “Limitation of Liability” and “Indemnification.”
Governing law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any action arising in connection with this Agreement will be brought in the federal and/or state courts located in New York City, New York. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU WILL BE ADJUDICATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, PAGA, OR OTHER JOINT ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS.
Export Laws; Government Entities
The Software and all related technical data are subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations and may be subject to export or import regulations of other countries. You shall not use, export, re-export, or provide access to the Software in any form in violation of any applicable export or import laws of any jurisdiction. The Software is commercial computer software, as such term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are the US Government or any contractor therefor, you shall receive only those rights with respect to the Software as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.
Assignment
Licensor may assign its rights in this Agreement at any time without your consent. You may not assign your rights in this Agreement without Licensor’s prior written consent, except that you may transfer, assign, or convey your rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole to another person or legal entity in connection with sale of substantially all of your business or assets, or a similar corporate reorganization, merger, or transaction, provided that (i) the transferee accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and (ii) you destroy all copies of the Software in your possession or control, including all copies stored in the memory of a Workstation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, if it believes such permitted assignment will have a negative impact or effect on Licensor’s business, products, or services.
Miscellaneous
Licensor is at all times acting as an independent contractor. This Agreement supplements any other terms and conditions between the parties, but controls with respect to the subject matter herein. If any provision of this Agreement proves to be or becomes invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary in order to render such provision valid and enforceable in the manner that best advances the spirit of this Agreement; if such provision may not be so saved, it shall be severed and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Licensor’s performance may be subject to interruption and delay due to causes beyond the reasonable control of such party including without limitation, strikes, labor unrest, riots, power outages, inclement weather and acts of God. In the event of such interruption or delays, the period of performance shall be extended for a period of time equal to the interruption or delay or permanently suspended.
