What is font licensing
Fonts are protected as both software and artwork, and using them legally requires font licensing. Font licensing for commercial use depends on where and how the font is applied—whether on desktop, web, apps, or other media, you only pay for what you need. Need a larger or custom font license?

This license (the “License”) is an agreement to which you expressly agree. Your agreement is indicated by payment of your Invoice or Online Order. Your use of the Font Software also indicates your agreement to the terms and conditions of this License.
Further, for the convenience of using the text of the License, you (as a natural person or a legal entity) are referred to as a “User” (or “Payer” if the User and the Payer do not coincide in the same person).
The license was issued by the Contrast Foundry Inc. (hereinafter—the Licensor). The Licensor represents and warrants that they have all necessary rights to grant the rights licensed herein.
Font as an artwork (hereinafter referred to as “Font”) is protected by copyright in both the United States and abroad and you are advised that foreign copyright extends to the individual Glyphs of the Font (hereinafter referred to as “Font Glyphs”), which can be used other manners (hereinafter referred to as “Texts”).
The User is granted a non-exclusive right to use only the Font Style that is specified in the Invoice or Online Order (hereinafter referred to as “Font Style”), which does not give the right to use other Font Styles. Each font outline is an independent and complete work of authorship. In the License, the Font refers to the Font Style specified in the Invoice or Online Order.

The Font and the Font Software are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Products” and each individually as “Product”. Granting the right to use the Font in any way does not imply granting the same right to use the Font Software, and vice versa.
The type of the License, the name of the Font, the specific Font Style and the Font Software, other material terms and additional restrictions of the license are specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
On the basis of the Invoice or Online Order, the extent of the rights to use the Font and the Font Software provided by the relevant License (its name and version) is granted, subject to the restrictions specified in the Invoice or Online Order. Other use of the Font and the Font Software not expressly stated in the Invoice or Online Order is prohibited to the User.
The Licensor offers several types of licenses, depending on the manner and scope of use of the Products. The availability of this License to the User does not mean that the User is granted the right to use the Products in the ways provided by other types of licenses.
The available use of the Products available to the User are set out in section 3 of this License.
The uses of the Products included in other types of licenses that are not available to the User are specified in section 5 of the License. General terms and limitations are set forth in the remainder of this License.
The right to use the Products is granted for a fee (license fee). If the Products are intended for non-commercial projects, the organizer of such a project may request a free license from the Licensor for non-commercial use of the Products.
If adherence to the License is made by means of the Invoice, the terms and conditions and restrictions on the use of the Products not specified in the License are set forth in the Invoice. Payment of the License Fee specified in the Invoice is deemed to be a full acceptance of the offer and constitutes acceptance of the License and Invoice. The license agreement (the License) is entered into between Licensor and User upon payment. The User confirms that they have read the text of the License, which was attached to the Invoice.
The Invoice shall be paid within seven days or as otherwise indicated in the Invoice. The Invoice may be withdrawn by Licensor at any time prior to or by refusal to accept payment.
The User confirms that prior to adhering to the License, they fully read and completely understood the text of the License attached to the Invoice.
The Invoice is intended only for the person/party to whom it is sent (the addressee of the offer). The Invoice cannot be paid by any other person unless expressly agreed to between the parties.
If adherence to the License is made by purchasing the license online through the website of the Licensor or its authorized representative (hereinafter, the “Distributor”), the terms and conditions of such adherence to the License are referred to as the “Online Order”, regardless of the actual titles of the electronic documents processed or the content of the web pages displayed during the purchase process. Online payment of the License Fee is deemed to be a full acceptance of the offer and constitutes acceptance of the License and Invoice. The license agreement (the License) is entered into between Licensor and User upon the acceptance of the offer (payment for the Online Order).
The User confirms that prior to adhering to the License, they fully read and completely understood the text of the License provided with the Online Order.
After payment of the Online Order on the Licensor’s website, the text of the License in the relevant version, the Online Order and the link to download the Font Software provided to the User through their “Personal Account” on the Licensor’s website. When the purchase is made through the Distributor’s website, the materials provided to the User are determined solely by the Distributor.
The User is granted the right to install (record, reproduce in computer memory) Font Software on the number of personal computers specified in the Invoice or Online Order that belong to the User.
The installed Font (as artwork) may be used in ways listed in the License or Online Order. In addition, the User may install Font Software to use the Font in accordance with this License under other separately purchased additional licenses (for example, to create an image to use under the additional “Social Media License”).
The User has the right to use the Font Software to embed images of Font Glyphs in electronic documents in a scalable format (for example, in .pdf documents), but only for personal or internal business use without the right to publish them and make them otherwise available to the public, and only then if the documents are intended for viewing or printing only and cannot be edited (Print & Preview mode), and the font file cannot be extracted from them.
The User is not allowed to use the Font Software (as a computer software) in any other way (not granted the right to distribute, make available to the public, provide network access, host or distribute by way of a server, reproduce otherwise, use in applications, among others) unless such rights are identified in the Invoice or Online Order.
The User has the right to reproduce the Font Glyphs (as artwork) in text on paper when printing text and graphic images for the needs of the User’s normal internal document flow.
The User has the right to reproduce Font Glyphs in the informational text as raster or vector images for further use exclusively on the Internet (including the right to make such images publicly available), but the User does not have the right to use such images on social media if the total number of subscribers across social media accounts exceeds 100,000 users (which requires a separate license).
The User has the right to reproduce Font Glyphs in the informational text of outdoor advertising, posters, signs, display cases, address plates, but only if their sole purpose is to inform about the User’s activities.
The User has the right to reproduce Font Glyphs in the informational text on consumer goods, their packaging and labels, as well as in the informational text of non-periodic publications (books, calendars, leaflets, business cards), but only if they themselves place such goods into commerce, and retain the right to distribute such reproduced copies in the future.
The User is not allowed to use Font Glyphs as part of the means of individualization, regardless whether registered or not. Font-based information labels cannot be used in the registered individualization tools such as logos or brand identity. In addition, the User understands that this License does not grant the right to modify the Font Glyphs, for which an appropriate additional license is required. Such right is granted only according to the “Logotype License”.
The Font Glyphs may not be reproduced on products where the Font constitutes the primary design element: T-shirts with texts, posters or prints intended for sale, goods in the form of letters, or similar items.
For the purposes of this License, an informational text is a text that is reproduced solely for informational purposes, is not commercial in nature, intended to identify the product (the service) or its manufacturer, and/or is not used to attract attention or Client demand (i.e. not used for artistic decoration).
The User does not have the right to install the Font Software on a device other than a personal computer (installation or copying to or serving by way of a server is also prohibited) unless otherwise permitted in the Invoice or Online Order.
For the purposes of the Agreement, the User’s Clients are the persons for whom the User performs design work in accordance with the agreement concluded between them. If the User does not perform such work for third parties, the terms of this section of the License do not apply.
As a general rule, the License grants the right to use the Products only to the User. The User does not have the right to sell, assign or otherwise transfer such right to other persons.
The User’s Clients do not have the right to use the Font Software in any way without purchasing an independent license, except in cases expressly stipulated by the License. The User’s Clients may not do the following (included but not limited to): store Font Software, install it, embed Font Software fully or in part as individual glyphs in electronic documents, use the Font Software on the site using the @font-face mechanism, etc.
With regard to the Font (as an artwork), one should bear in mind that reproducing Font Glyphs creates a new copy of the Font as an artwork. Therefore, for each case of further reproduction or distribution of a copy of an artwork, the person performing such actions must have the appropriate permission from the copyright holder (except if rights with regard to the specific copy introduced to the market are exhausted).
As an exception to the general rule, the Licensor, under this License, allows the User’s Clients the following limited use of the reproduced Font Glyphs in informational text as part of raster and vector images, as well as in files with an embedded subset of the Font Glyphs in Print & Preview mode, created by the User for the Client in accordance with the procedure and restrictions established by the License:
– to reproduce and make available to the public the Font Glyphs on the Internet in the informational text as part of electronic images created by the User, but only with regard to the Client’s own products/goods/services; the User’s Client is not entitled to use such images in social media if its total number of subscribers in all social media accounts exceeds 100,000;
– to use (reproduce) the Font Glyphs in the informational text of the Client’s own outdoor advertising, their own posters, signs, address plates;
– to use (reproduce and distribute) Font Glyphs in the informational text of the Client’s own non-periodic printing products (books, calendars, leaflets, business cards), but only those that the Client enters into civil commerce independently;
– to use (reproduce and distribute) Font Glyphs in the informational text on packages and labels of goods that are entered into civil commerce directly by the User’s Client (the Font Glyphs can not be reproduced on the product in which the Font counts as most important: T-shirts with texts, posters and posters for sale, goods
in the form of letters, etc.).
For the purposes of this License, an informational text is a text that is reproduced solely for informational purposes, is not commercial in nature, intended to identify the product (the service) or its manufacturer, and/or is not used to attract attention or Client demand (i.e. not used for artistic decoration).
The Font Glyphs cannot be used as part of the means of individualization, regardless of whether they are registered or not. Font-based information labels can neither be used in the registered individualization tools. The license fee under this License is established given that the use of the Font Glyphs outside of the informational text or as a means of individualization is prohibited, so such registration without purchasing an appropriate additional license will be considered a violation of the exclusive right of the copyright holder.
In addition, the License does not grant the right to modify the Font Glyphs, for which an appropriate additional license is required.
In order to let the User’s Client exercise the powers listed herein or to exercise the powers under their own Client license, the User has the right to convey to their Client, and they are entitled to receive and store the electronic image in a raster or vector format (in outlines) reproduced with Font Glyphs created for the Client in compliance with the License restrictions.
If the Client uses the Font for non-commercial projects, the organizer of such project may request the Licensor to obtain a free license for non-commercial use of the Font (for example, for a singular non-commercial event, for goods not for sale, etc.).
If any provision of the License is unclear to the User’s Clients, such persons have the right to request from the Licensor the possibility of using the Products in a specific situation. The Licensor’s explanation will be legally binding for the relevant situation, in relation to the current version of the License.
If any provision of this License relating to permissions or methods of using the Products is unclear, the User may request a license to use the Products in a particular manner. The Licensor’s clarification and, if granted, license for new uses shall control the terms and conditions of the amended or new license. Licensor expressly retains the right to amend this License in the future.
If there are any doubts related to the right of any use of the Product, the User is obliged to ask Licensor whether such use is permitted under this License. The User expressly agrees to consult with the Licensor before using the Product and such permissions may or may not be granted.
Each type of use of the Products requires an independent type of license and the User may not use the Products in the following ways without purchasing independent licenses:
“Web License” is a license to display the text content of a website using the Font via the CSS @font-face rule.
“Social Media License” is a license permitting the use of the Font in social media accounts with a total subscriber count exceeding 100,000.

On the basis of the Invoice or Online Order, the extent of the rights to use the Font and the Font Software provided by the relevant License (its name and version) is granted, subject to the restrictions specified in the Invoice or Online Order. Other use of the Font and the Font Software not expressly stated in the Invoice or Online Order is prohibited to the User.
The Licensor offers several types of licenses, depending on the manner and scope of use of the Products. The availability of this License to the User does not mean that the User is granted the right to use the Products in the ways provided by other types of licenses.
The available use of the Products available to the User are set out in section 3 of this License.
The uses of the Products included in other types of licenses that are not available to the User are specified in section 5 of the License. General terms and limitations are set forth in the remainder of this License.
The right to use the Products is granted for a fee (license fee). If the Products are intended for non-commercial projects, the organizer of such a project may request a free license from the Licensor for non-commercial use of the Products.
If adherence to the License is made by means of the Invoice, the terms and conditions and restrictions on the use of the Products not specified in the License are set forth in the Invoice. Payment of the License Fee specified in the Invoice is deemed to be a full acceptance of the offer and constitutes acceptance of the License and Invoice. The license agreement (the License) is entered into between Licensor and User upon payment. The User confirms that they have read the text of the License, which was attached to the Invoice.
The Invoice shall be paid within seven days or as otherwise indicated in the Invoice. The Invoice may be withdrawn by Licensor at any time prior to or by refusal to accept payment.
The User confirms that prior to adhering to the License, they fully read and completely understood the text of the License attached to the Invoice.

If adherence to the License is made by purchasing the license online through the website of the Licensor or its authorized representative (hereinafter, the “Distributor”), the terms and conditions of such adherence to the License are referred to as the “Online Order”, regardless of the actual titles of the electronic documents processed or the content of the web pages displayed during the purchase process.

The Licensor grants the User the right to use the image of Font Glyphs for their own accounts in social media (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, X (Twitter), YouTube) by posting raster images made with the Font and making them available to the public through their social media accounts.
The User is granted the right to use the Font by reproducing texts made with Font Glyphs (captions, etc.) and including them in short audiovisual works created by the User, but only for use in social networks associated with the User’s own accounts, subject to additional restrictions on the period of use.
User Accounts in social media must be directly and unambiguously attributed as belonging directly to the User. Font usage is not allowed in anonymous accounts owned and/or managed by the User.
Using the Font in or for third-party accounts is not allowed. However, the restriction on the reproduction and making the Products public by other users of social media (reposting, cross-posting, etc.) in own accounts of such users in social media does not apply.
The User is not granted the right to use the Fonts in audiovisual works created by third parties for the User. The creator of any audio-visual works must hold their own license for such uses. In accordance with the License the User may use the Font in short audiovisual works created explicitly by them for use in their own accounts in social networks. The User cannot confer or grant this right to other persons.
If an audiovisual work used in the User’s own social media accounts includes opening or closing titles with the copyright mark of the User or another person, or has other output data, the User must also include the information about the copyright holder of the Font used in the audiovisual work presented in a manner that is easily perceivable by the viewer.

Upon termination of the right to use the Products, the User loses the right to use the Font in images and audiovisual works intended for social networks under this License. However, saving previously posted posts (previously left entries in social media using the Font) is not considered a violation of the exclusive right to the Font.
When evaluating the actual number of subscribers of the User’s accounts, the open information of the corresponding social network on the number of subscribers of the User is considered. The User may not use the font in accounts where the number of subscribers is hidden or not publicly available. In case information on the number of subscribers of one of the User accounts is unavailable and therefore it is impossible to determine the total combined number of subscribers of the User, it shall be deemed that total number of subscribers exceeds License limits, and the User lost the right to use the Font.
If this License is purchased by a company, individual persons are not granted the right to use the Font for their own social media posts/displays.
This License serves as an “extension” of the separately purchased Desktop license, which is required for installing and using the Font Software on a personal computer. Without purchasing a Desktop license, the User cannot reproduce the Font Glyphs as a bitmap image and/or include the Font Glyphs in an audiovisual work.
If any provision of this License relating to permissions or methods of using the Products is unclear, the User may request a license to use the Products in a particular manner. The Licensor’s clarification and, if granted, license for new uses shall control the terms and conditions of the amended or new license. Licensor expressly retains the right to amend this License in the future.
If there are any doubts related to the right of any use of the Product, the User is obliged to ask Licensor whether such use is permitted under this License. The User expressly agrees to consult with the Licensor before using the Product and such permissions may or may not be granted.

Logotype font license
This is an extension of the Desktop license. It allows you to use the font in an organization’s, product’s, or service’s logotype, as well as in cases where font characters need to be modified. The font license for the logo may include or exclude the right to register the logo as a trademark. The font file itself is not included.
Version CoFo-LG.1.06
This license is required to use the font in the logotype of the organization, the product or the service, as well as in all the cases where editing of the font characters or texts made therewith is required. The license may be with or without the right to register a logo as a trademark.
If something in the license is unclear or you are not sure about the type of license you need, please ask us by e-mail at [email protected].
This license (the “License”) is an agreement to which you expressly agree. Your agreement is indicated by payment of your Invoice or Online Order. Your use of the Font Software also indicates your agreement to the terms and conditions of this License.
Further, for the convenience of using the text of the License, you (as a natural person or a legal entity) are referred to as a “User” (or “Payer” if the User and the Payer do not coincide in the same person).
The license was issued by the Contrast Foundry Inc. (hereinafter—the Licensor). The Licensor represents and warrants that they have all necessary rights to grant the rights licensed herein.
Font as an artwork (hereinafter referred to as “Font”) is protected by copyright in both the United States and abroad and you are advised that foreign copyright extends to the individual Glyphs of the Font (hereinafter referred to as “Font Glyphs”), which can be used other manners (hereinafter referred to as “Texts”).
The User is granted a non-exclusive right to use only the Font Style that is specified in the Invoice or Online Order (hereinafter referred to as “Font Style”), which does not give the right to use other Font Styles. Each font outline is an independent and complete work of authorship. In the License, the Font refers to the Font Style specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
The Font Software (hereinafter referred to as the “Font Software”, the “Font files”) is a protected computer program, that includes corresponding Font Style as well as the necessary software instructions. A copy of the Font Software is submitted to the User in the otf, ttf and woff formats, unless otherwise specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
The Font Software (hereinafter referred to as “Font Software, “Font files”) is a protected computer application and includes the corresponding Font Style as well as the necessary software instructions. A copy of the Font Software shall be submitted to the User in the OTF, TTF and WOFF formats, unless otherwise specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
The Font and the Font Software are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Products” and each individually as “Product”. Granting the right to use the Font in any way does not imply granting the same right to use the Font Software, and vice versa.
The type of the License, the name of the Font, the specific Font Style and the Font Software, other material terms and additional restrictions of the license are specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
On the basis of the Invoice or Online Order, the extent of the rights to use the Font and the Font Software provided by the relevant License (its name and version) is granted, subject to the restrictions specified in the Invoice or Online Order. Other use of the Font and the Font Software not expressly stated in the Invoice or Online Order is prohibited to the User.
The Licensor offers several types of licenses, depending on the manner and scope of use of the Products. The availability of this License to the User does not mean that the User is granted the right to use the Products in the ways provided by other types of licenses.
The available use of the Products available to the User are set out in section 3 of this License.
The uses of the Products included in other types of licenses that are not available to the User are specified in section 5 of the License. General terms and limitations are set forth in the remainder of this License.
The right to use the Products is granted for a fee (license fee). If the Products are intended for non-commercial projects, the organizer of such a project may request a free license from the Licensor for non-commercial use of the Products.
If adherence to the License is made by means of the Invoice, the terms and conditions and restrictions on the use of the Products not specified in the License are set forth in the Invoice. Payment of the License Fee specified in the Invoice is deemed to be a full acceptance of the offer and constitutes acceptance of the License and Invoice. The license agreement (the License) is entered into between Licensor and User upon payment. The User confirms that they have read the text of the License, which was attached to the Invoice.
The Invoice shall be paid within seven days or as otherwise indicated in the Invoice. The Invoice may be withdrawn by Licensor at any time prior to or by refusal to accept payment.
The User confirms that prior to adhering to the License, they fully read and completely understood the text of the License attached to the Invoice.
The Invoice is intended only for the person/party to whom it is sent (the addressee of the offer). The Invoice cannot be paid by any other person unless expressly agreed to between the parties.
If adherence to the License is made by purchasing the license online through the website of the Licensor or its authorized representative (hereinafter, the “Distributor”), the terms and conditions of such adherence to the License are referred to as the “Online Order”, regardless of the actual titles of the electronic documents processed or the content of the web pages displayed during the purchase process. Online payment of the License Fee is deemed to be a full acceptance of the offer and constitutes acceptance of the License and Invoice. The license agreement (the License) is entered into between Licensor and User upon the acceptance of the offer (payment for the Online Order).
The User confirms that prior to adhering to the License, they fully read and completely understood the text of the License provided with the Online Order.
After payment of the Online Order on the Licensor’s website, the text of the License in the relevant version, the Online Order and the link to download the Font Software provided to the User through their “Personal Account” on the Licensor’s website. When the purchase is made through the Distributor’s website, the materials provided to the User are determined solely by the Distributor.
The Licensor grants the User the right to use the Font to create the Logotype for the User, their products or service (hereinafter referred to as the “Logotype”).
For the purpose of this License the Logotype means any text made with the Font (including single-letter ones) if it is used for the individualization of the User, their product or services or is aimed at attracting interest to the User, their product or service by using it in decorative design outside the solid informational text.
Informational text is a text used solely for informational purposes. It is not intended for identifying a product (or service) or its manufacturer, nor for driving consumer attention or demand. Informational text does not include decorative designs or modified text sizes or proportions.
If the Font with no alterations to the graphics is used solely in solid informational text displayed on a product, within service description or informational text of a promotional material, then instead of the current License, it is sufficient to use the Desktop license.
The Invoice or Online Order indicates whether the User is entitled to register the Logotype with the Font used as a means of individualization (trademark). The size of the license fee is set depending on the grant or non-provision of this right to the User, therefore the User understands that registering the Logotype as an individualization means without the permission of the Licensor will be considered a violation of this License and the exclusive right to the Font. This rule applies regardless of the jurisdiction in which the means of individualization will be registered.
The number of Logotypes in which the User is allowed to use the Font is indicated in the Invoice or Online Order. The spelling of the wordmark (Logotype) is also indicated in the Invoice or Online order. Using the Font in a larger number of Logotypes or in the Logotype with a different spelling is considered a violation of the terms of this License and of the right to use the Products.
The User is entitled to use the Font only for their own Logotypes. The User may not use the Font to create Logotypes for third parties.
The User has the right to integrate individual Font Glyphs in a vector file and provide it to their contractors with a file with the Logotype, but may not include the Font Software in the file (in full or regarding individual glyphs).
The user has the right to do a one-time editing of graphics of individual characters of the Font to create a logotype. The User is not entitled to edit other Font characters that are not included in the spelling of the Logotype in the Invoice or Online Order. The User is not entitled to create other derivative works based on the Font.
The right to create the Logotype does not mean the right to its subsequent update, the creation of other Logotypes with the same text part or the creation of derivative works of the Logotype without the additional consent of the Licensor. An additional license is required to make changes to the Logotype, create new iterations, including “updating” the Logotype, “modernizing” it, creating several variants of one Logotype, and for other similar actions.
The Logotype created in accordance with the License can be used without changes by the User during the entire period of the exclusive right to the Font without any restrictions: on goods or their packaging, service description, in audiovisual works, in print- ing, outdoor advertising, on the Internet and in any other ways, but only in the event that all licensing fees provided for by the License have been paid to the Licensor. However, all these use cases must be carried out by the User themselves or in their interest. The Parties have agreed upon that even if the creation of the Logotype demanded redesign of the Font glyphs but according to the License copyright was not granted, the User shall be forbidden to use the Font for third parties.
If the right to use the Products by the User has been terminated early due to non-payment of a part of the license fee or due to some other violation of the terms of the License, then after the termination of the right to use the Products the Logotype cannot be used by the User or other persons. Similar consequences arise if the right to use the Products was not considered granted.
In accordance with this License, the right to use the Font in the Logotype is granted directly to the User. The user may not use the Font to create logotypes for third parties.
Your client will need a Logotype license if you create logotypes for them. For you as designer it is enough to have a Desktop license.
The User is not entitled to grant the right to use the Logotype created using the Font to third parties, unless the User has registered the Logotype as a means of individualization with the permission of the Licensor. In the latter case, the right to use the means of individualization is granted by the User to third parties in accordance with the legislation governing the rights to means of individualization.
The User does not have the right to transfer or grant the right to use Font Software to a third party in any way (neither with the right to use the means of individualization, or when transferring a legal entity or selling a business).
If any provision of this License relating to permissions or methods of using the Products is unclear, the User may request a license to use the Products in a particular manner. The Licensor’s clarification and, if granted, license for new uses shall control the terms and conditions of the amended or new license. Licensor expressly retains the right to amend this License in the future.
If there are any doubts related to the right of any use of the Product, the User is obliged to ask Licensor whether such use is permitted under this License. The User expressly agrees to consult with the Licensor before using the Product and such permissions may or may not be granted.
Each type of use of the Products requires an independent type of license and the User may not use the Products in the following ways without purchasing independent licenses:

The right to use the Font and Font Software to the extent set forth in the License is granted for the License term unless otherwise identified in an Invoice or Online Order.
The User understands that if they have made non-contractual use of the Font and/or the Font Software prior to obtaining a proper License, such non-contractual use shall be an infringement of the Licensor’s rights. In such case, the acquisition of the License shall not relieve him/her from liability for the previously committed infringement.
The License is valid worldwide unless otherwise specified in the Invoice or Online Order.
The use of the Product is possible only for a fee. The amount of the Licensor’s remuneration is specified in the Invoice or Online Order. Payment of the remuneration set out in the Invoice shall be made within the term also set out in the Invoice.

From the moment of sending the Font Software by e-mail or providing a link to download the Font Software, the Licensor’s obligation to deliver a copy of the Font, as artwork, and as a software shall be deemed fulfilled.
The right to use the Products may be purchased for the benefit of a third party as a Licensed User, but paid for by You as the Payer. The Payer does not acquire the right to use the Products (Fonts). All of the restrictive terms of the License with respect to the Licensed User also apply to the Payer.
Unless otherwise provided in an Invoice or Online Order when acquiring the right to use the Products for a User, the Payer is obligated to make the User aware of the terms and conditions of this License and to obtain the User’s consent to the License.
