Desktop, web and social media

  1. Trial

    1. The User is authorized to install the Font exclusively for Trial use, meaning testing, evaluating, or comping. “Install” means making the Font locally available to applications on a device.

    2. The User is thus authorized to create artwork using the Font exclusively for this purpose.

    3. Any other use that is not Trial use is prohibited, whether commercial or not, particularly the exploitation and dissemination of images or graphics showing the Font, including on any website referring to the Font in its code or rendering text styled with the Font.

    4. The User must have a non-trial addendum to be authorized to use the Font in final work, publish it, or otherwise render it public.

    5. The Font under this Trial license is provided on an “as is” basis without warranties, and VJ Type’s warranties in 7.3 and 7.4 do not apply.

  2. Desktop

    1. The User is authorized to install the Font for internal business use. “Install” means making the Font locally available to applications on a device.

    2. The User is authorized to install the Font for a defined number of users as described in the Invoice (“User Group”). If the User is an entity, the User Group must all be employees of the entity. The Addendum fee is based on the total number of employees specified in the Invoice (across all geographical sites, measured over one year).

    3. “Desktop” means the use of the Font on tangible media, enabling editing by the User alone; and the display and printing of human-readable text on tangible media, internally or as part of the User’s commercial activity, and to the exclusion of any use expressly granted in other Addenda types and of any commercial use of the Font itself.

    4. By way of example only and not limitation, the Font may thus be used for the design and publication of printed graphics and static images, such as books, brochures, or catalogs; more generally, as part of literary and media publishing activity in which the Font may appear in a non-editable, non-embedded form. The Font may be used to create non-font static digital documents, such as bitmap images on the web, and non-font vector images.

    5. Use of the Font is authorized for static text only, not dynamic. Use for dynamic text editable by a third-party, display and print of variable data, dynamic display of the Font, and dynamic rasterizing and rendering of the Font as bitmap images are not part of this license and are not authorized.

    6. Addendum to Article 3.2.1 “Copy”: For the exclusive purpose of outputting specific files, the User is permitted to transfer a copy of the Font used for creating the relevant file to a printer or printing service provider, on the condition there be no active use of the Font (such as, but not limited to, text formatting, editing, or corrections). If active use of the Font is needed, such service providers are required to purchase their own license. The User must inform any such service provider about the content and restrictions of this Agreement, including the prohibition against reproducing, distributing, providing to the public, disseminating, executing, or more generally exploiting in any way, free or at cost, the Font. Copies of the Font shall be deleted immediately after performing the service. If the User is a service provider and purchases a License of the Font for its own use, the license does not cover the use of the Font for any of the User’s customers, who must acquire their own license.

    7. Addendum to Article 3.2.5 “Embed”: For the exclusive purpose of outputting certain files, the User can embed the Font in digital documents only when intended for printing. The User recognizes that transmitting a document in PDF format set to “printing and viewing only” is the first and best method for transferring documents to a service provider. All other provisions of Article 3.6 remain in force, especially regarding the unauthorized distribution of digital documents where the Font is embedded. This special authorization is granted without prejudice to the User abiding by all other obligations set out herein, particularly this Addendum and Article 8.

    8. The User may install and use the Font through a standalone desktop software that relies on a remote cloud server infrastructure, has a desktop interface, does not embed the Font inside the desktop software itself, and does not use the Font for interface elements. The User may install the Font on a local file server, such as a network font manager, for use on a local area network (LAN), solely in the case where use of the Font is expressly limited to the total number of users (User Group) that may install the Font under this Agreement, corresponding to the total number of persons that may have access to the Font at any moment.

  3. Web

    1. The User is authorized to use the Font and display online text onto a website, accessible via a web browser only, whose domain name (URL) is specified in the Invoice, as well as for an unlimited number of sub-domains related to the domain name specified in the Invoice, enabling the static display of the Font exclusively on screen, whatever the access device used (personal computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.). If a brand is identified in the Invoice, the domains must be substantially dedicated to the licensed brand. The brand must be prominently displayed and identified on the domains (or, if there are multiple brands, they must all be owned by the User, and the Font may be used only for the licensed brand(s)). The User may not install the Font in any manner whatsoever. “Install” means making the Font locally available to applications on a device.

    2. Addenda to Article 3.2.5 “Embed”: The User may embed the Font in a website to render text in HTML pages via the @font-face CSS command, and may copy the Font in databases produced by the User. The reproduction of the Font is authorized in this circumstance only to the extent that it is necessary to use the Font and its execution to generate website pages using the Font, and the consultation of text by website visitors of said website pages using the Font.

    3. Addenda to Article 3.2.1 “Copy”: For the exclusive purpose of previewing specific files, the User is permitted to transfer a copy of the Font used for previewing the relevant file to web developers and web agencies, on the condition that there be no active use of the Font (such as, but not limited to, text formatting, editing, or corrections). If active use of the Font is needed, such service providers are required to purchase their own license. The User is obligated to inform any such service provider about the content and restrictions of this Agreement, including the prohibition against reproducing, distributing, providing to the public, disseminating, executing, or more generally exploiting in any way, free or at cost, the Font. Copies of the Font shall be deleted immediately after performing the service. If the User is a service provider and licenses the Font for its own use, the license does not cover the use of the Font for any of the User’s customers, who must acquire their own license. The User is permitted to transfer a copy of the Font to a provider supplying hosting Servers (defined as a remote web-based storage service such as remote servers, cloud, and other similar services) to the User, as part of a web use requiring the remote execution of the Font, it being understood that the Font format may not be modified, and that only the copy of the executable version of the Font, as provided by VJ Type, is authorized. The Font must not be supplied in a format that enables extraction. If the correct functioning of the website created by the User requires the storage of the Font in a remote storage space in a format that enables the extraction, editing, alteration, enrichment, or modification of the Font by a third-party, the User is required to inform the provider of the need to prevent any extraction or representation of the Font, and all reproductions other than those strictly necessary for the operation of the website. The User is required to prevent the unauthorized use, copy, or extraction of the Font (in particular, the linking to the Font from unauthorized websites and domain names outside of those specified in the Invoice), by including protection measures such as Cross-Origin Resource Tracking (CORS) headers, and the use of a .htaccess file.

    4. The User is not authorized to print elements displayed on screen containing the Font. The use of the Font is authorized for static text only, not dynamic text. Use for dynamic text editable by a third-party, or the displaying and printing of variable data, is not part of this license. The dynamic display of the Font, the dynamic rasterizing and rendering of the Font as bitmap or vector images, or the dynamic embedding of the Font in electronic documents, is not authorized either. To further clarify, the use of the Font to generate static documents (e.g., variable data printing, automatic PDF generation, or print-on-demand products) is not authorized. Use in banners, pop-up advertising, email newsletters, and HTML5 ads on third-party web servers and websites is not authorized. The User may not install and use the Font through a standalone desktop software that relies on a remote cloud server infrastructure, has a desktop interface, embeds the Font inside the desktop software itself, or uses the Font for interface elements.

    5. The User must own, control, and be the sole effective beneficiary of the domain name on which the Font will be used. The User shall indemnify VJ Type against all representations or reproductions of the Font outside of the license, particularly in the form of a copy, extraction, or direct links. The User acknowledges that it is solely liable in the event of a copy, representation, reproduction, or extraction of the Font, particularly outside the domain name specified in the Invoice. If there is a difference between the domain name registrant and the website publisher (as defined in the website’s legal citations), the website publisher is considered the effective beneficiary.

  4. Social Media

    1. The User is authorized to install the Font for Social Media use. “Install” means making the Font locally available to applications on a device. The User is authorized to install the Font for a defined number of users as described in the Invoice (“User Group”). If the User is an entity, the User Group must all be employees of the entity. The Addendum fee is based on the total number of employees specified in the Invoice (across all geographical sites, measured over 1 year).

    2. “Social Media” use means any use of the Font on a Social Media, enabling editing by the User alone, then the display of human-readable text on a digital media, internally or as part of the User’s commercial activity, and as an accessory to this activity, to the exclusion of any use expressly granted in other licenses types, and of any commercial use of the Font.

    3. The fee is based upon the cumulated number of followers on the cumulated Social Media Accounts (“Accounts”) specified in the Invoice (measured over one year) for all of the Social Media Accounts that display the Font. A follower of multiple Accounts is counted for each one, up to the maximum stated.

    4. The Font may be for the display of rasterized text for online use on Social Media Accounts, enabling the static display of the Font on screen exclusively. If a brand is identified in the Invoice, the Social Media accounts must be substantially dedicated to the licensed brand, and the brand must be prominently displayed and identified on the Account (or, if there are multiple brands, they are all owned by the User, and the Font is used only for the licensed brand).

    5. The Font may be used to design and publish social media digital graphics, static images, and streaming videos, as organic, paid-for, promoted, or sponsored posts on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, and other channels.

    6. Any other use beyond those listed herein is subject to purchasing the appropriate License type. The use of the Font is authorized for static text only, not dynamic text. Use for dynamic text editable by a third-party, or the displaying and printing of variable data, is not part of this license. The dynamic display of the Font and the dynamic rasterizing and rendering as bitmap images are not authorized either.
