‘EULA’: What is it?

(WIP document)EULA (End User License Agreement) restricts and outlines the ways in which you are allowed to use the typefaces I design and distribute. Please make sure to read this document entirely before inquiring for trials or licenses.
By requesting a trial, purchasing a license, installing and/or using one of my fonts, the Licensee is automatically and legally bound by the terms of this EULA. The Licensee accepts the terms of this agreement, acknowledge understanding them and promise to comply to them.

Licensing

If you purchase a license as a freelancer, a design studio or an agency, the ultimate end user (your client) must also purchase the corresponding License to use the font.

(T) Trial

[OTF file — reduced version]
A Trial is a free version of the font intended to be used for testing purposes. Its content is reduced compared to a full License. By requesting a trial font, you agree to use it for testing purposes only and to not make use of it for public communication, online or not.

Desktop

[OTF file — full version]
A Desktop License is a full version of the font. It permits the installation and the use of the font for both print and screen uses (excluding Web uses).
You may use a Desktop Licensed font to design still or moving images, books, magazines, logotypes, documents, merchandise, etc. The embedding of the font into electronic documents is only permitted as a subset of the digital font as long as the document is distributed in a secure format that enables solely the viewing and printing but not the editing of the text (read-only). Any recipient of an electronic document which permits the use of the digital font for editing must necessarily belong to the corresponding licensed unit.

The pricing of the Desktop License varies depending on the size of the company that will use the font. Therefore, the Desktop License is distributed in two different versions:

(DS) Desktop Small

For freelancers, self-employed individuals and other small scale structures.

(DL) Desktop Large

For agencies, companies and other large scale structures, up to 10 people.

If your structure involves more than 10 people, you need a tailor-made License. Please reach out.

(W) Web

[WOFF & WOFF2 files — full versions]
A Web License is a full version of the font. It permits the embedding and the use of the font in a website.
You may use a Web Licensed font to set the text of a website. The font must be self-hosted on the license owner’s server (self-hosting) using the @font-face CSS method. The embedding must be done in such a way that end users can not access the font, which is the responsabiliy of the license owner. In the case of the closure of a website, the license cannot be transferred.

There is no Small or Large options for the Web License as one license permits the use of the font for one domain and one hosting server. If you want to use the font for another web domain, you must purchase a new license.

(A) App

[OTF file — full version]
An App License is a full version of the font. It permits the embedding and the use of the font in an app.
You may use an App Licensed font to set the text of an app (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc), an e-publication, a mobile game, etc. The embedding must be done in such a way that end users can not access the font, which is the responsabiliy of the license owner.

Similarly to the Web License, there is no Small or Large options for the App License as one license permits the use of the font for one app. If you want to use the font for another app, you must purchase a new license.

Restrictions

You are not receiving the copyright of the design nor the ownership of the font, you are receiving the rights to use the font under the terms and conditions specified by this EULA.

You may not distribute the font to any person outside of your organization nor sell, rent, sublicense or give away any versions of the font.

You may not modify, copy, rename, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or alter the font and you may not commission or ask a third party to modify the font.

You may not design or generate a new font based on the design that is in the font, whether it is by yourself or with the help of artificial intelligence, and you may not convert the font file to any other font format. If you have specific needs (technical or aesthetic, addition or modification) please contact me.

Without my prior written permission, you may not use the font, even a single glyph, for such uses:
— NFT (Non Fungible Token) artwork or any other type of production related to a blockchain technology.
— Political, religious or pornographic communication (direct or indirect).

You will be granted a non-transferrable license to utilize the typeface. This license is subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this EULA.

Updates

When purchasing a license, you will receive future possible updates of the typeface you purchased. Such updates will be sent on the e-mail address of the license’s owner. It is the user’s responsibility to update the font in their font library as soon as an update is available.

Fonts in use

I reserve myself the right to share works that use my fonts on my social medias, to feature them on my website, to include them in books, magazines, case studies and other similar supports without limitations or restrictions. I also may grant any third parties to do the same.

Legal

Any violation of the terms outlined in this agreement will result in the immediate termination of the License. In such an event, you agree to delete the typeface, confirm that no copies are retained in your possession or control and provide written assurance that said deletion has occurred.

Due to the digital nature of a font, all sales are final. A font is non-returnable and non-refundable.

The font is provided ‘as is’ and without warranty of any kind.

This contract contains the entire agreement and overrides any prior agreements or discussions. Changes to this contract require written form, and any new verbal agreements are binding if said verbal agreements have been acknowledged and confirmed in writing by Vincent Lach.

The invalidity or inoperativeness of one or more provisions of this contract does not affect the validity of the rest of the contract and the remaining other provisions shall thereby remain unaffected.

The digital font and font software remain the property of Vincent Lach and are protected by the French Property Code regardless of the country in which you are operating, by the copyright laws and intellectual property code or by other international treaties.

I reserve the right to update a license at any time without prior consent or notice.

The end user expressly acknowledges they have read and understood this End User License Agreement.
