DESKTOP EULA

Intro

Thank you for choosing to license a Vocal Type Co. font and typeface. By installing this Font Software, you are acknowledging that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the terms of this End User License Agreement (the “EULA” or “License”). This EULA is between you and Vocal Type Co. (“we”, “us” “Vocal Type” or “Licensor”). If you have any questions relating to your rights to use the Font Software or would like to obtain an addendum to permit any use not included here, please contact us at beheard@vocaltype.co.

License and Fee

You are licensing the “Font Software” from us. This non-transferable license is for either your personal use, or for use within your organization (and in certain cases, for your use on work product intended to be displayed outside your organization). Please note, however, you are not buying the Font Software from Vocal Type, and so, you may only use the Font Software as expressly permitted in this EULA.

All rights that are not specifically granted under this EULA are reserved by us. The license will not be effective until our receipt of the license fee, which fee is a one-time payment and is deemed fully earned upon our receipt.

Grant

This EULA gives you the non-transferable and limited right to install and use the Font Software only on the number of CPUs (generally, computers or workstations) provided for in the license you have chosen (see licensing table here). If you would like to use the Font Software on more CPUs or for purposes that are not listed below (or which are expressly prohibited below), please contact us to obtain an addendum to this EULA.

 

Permitted Uses

This EULA authorizes you to use the Font Software only (I) to create certain “static” digital displays and printed materials, and (II) for limited “non-static” uses.

The following uses are expressly permitted under this Agreement (and all other use is prohibited, unless you have an addendum or another applicable license from us):

Permitted “Static” Use

This license grants you the limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Font Software to create certain printed materials and “static” digital displays that are for use in connection with your own goods, services or business (and not for third parties), as identified below.

While this license permits you to create stationery, greeting or business cards, invitations to your organization’s (or your) own events, such as meetings, parties, reunions and weddings, you may not create stationery, greeting or business cards, invitations and other similar printed items for others’ use or for commercial sale. In order to obtain a license which would permit you to make customized stationery and printed materials for others’ use, please contact us.The term “static” means that the Font Software is used in a format that permits only the viewing or display of the text, and which does not permit editing. Printed materials are, by definition, “static,” but with respect to digital use, please note that while you may use the Font Software to create certain digital banners and logos, you may not “embed” the Font Software into any website, application, device, or other software, or create any form of "selectable" or "editable" or "live" type.

If you are a designer or otherwise use the Font Software to create artwork or text, you may provide it to unlicensed parties (including your client) only in (i) a static raster image format (e.g., a PNG, JPEG, GIF or TIFF) or (ii) a static vector image format such as SVG, or a properly embedded pdf provided that such format and/or file is “protected,” “subset embedded,” or “non-editable” for distribution on the Web or otherwise

Examples of permitted use include, but are not limited to, the following: print for use in and on physical printed publications, such as newspapers, newsletters, magazines, books or other paper publications or documents; your own point of sale displays (including without limitation promotional posters or playbills for your events, films, concerts and performances); your own signage; your own stationery (but not stationery for others’ use); physical album covers; promotional printed handouts; on product packaging for your own products (but not on any products themselves). You also are permitted to use the Font Software to create the following digital materials (so long as they are “static”, as defined above) to advertise, promote or describe your or your organization’s own business, such as banner ads, signage, logos and graphics.

Small Printer Exception

Vocal Type supports small businesses, and, notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section D, below, owners of small print shops (defined as those having fewer than ten (10) full or part-time employees) may use the Font Software under this license to create and sell non-commercial printed products directly to individuals (such as wedding invitations, signs, neighborhood newsletters, and other non-commercial materials).

Third Party Recipients of Embedded Font Software

Most Third Parties Need a Separate License. If you want to send your client or any third party (apart from a commercial printer, as provided below) an embedded version of the Font Software or a copy of the software itself, your client or such third party will need to purchase its own license to use the Font Software. Similarly, if you are a company (or person) that hires a design studio to create a project for you, you are not permitted to share the Font Software – in embedded form or otherwise - with the design studio except in a static image/format, as described above, unless the design studio has separately licensed the Font Software from Vocal Type.

Limited Use for Printers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this license permits your provision of a single copy of the Font Software to a commercial printer for purposes of printing any bona fide “permitted use” of the Font Software (i.e. on packaging, brochures, promotional posters, etc.), provided that the printer shall delete the single copy provided to it immediately after use for your print project/job. The printer, of course, may not duplicate or use the Font Software for any other purpose, without obtaining its own separate license.

Specific Restrictions On Use

This is not an “Application”, “Webfont” or “eBook /ePub”) license, and therefore, You agree that you will not embed the Font Software into any software application, eReader document or use it for publishing blogs or other content on the internet (unless in the “static” formats provided for above).

This also is not a “Broadcast “or “Webcast” license and therefore grants no rights to the Licensee to use the Font Software to create text that will be displayed or used in audio-visual works (including video) broadcast via network, cable, satellite or other television (or any such channel’s online website(s)), any online subscription-based services, (such as NetFlix or Hulu), or celebrity webseries, whether on the Internet or broadcast through other media. Licensee shall have a limited right to use the Font Software to create text displayed on non-subscription or non-pay-per-view services, such as Youtube, provided that such use is limited to infomercials for the Licensee’s own products, or other tutorial or advertorial use relating to the Licensee’s own products.

General Restrictions

No Transfer/Copying. You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, rent, lease, sublicense, transfer, host, make available or sell the Font Software to any third party (except as specifically permitted in this Agreement), nor will you make any use of the Font Software in competition with the business or patronage of Vocal Type. You further agree that the Font Software shall not be copied (except as expressly permitted here), in whole or in part, decompiled, "reverse-engineered", disassembled, altered, or otherwise accessed in any way in order to derive the source code for the Font Software or used in any way to create a derivative work, and that you also will take commercially reasonable precautions to secure the Font Software to prevent unlicensed end users from accessing the Font Software and using it in violation of this Agreement.

Restrictions as to Number of Users (CPUs).

If this is a multi-user license, it is limited to the number of users you have selected from the Vocal Type licensing table, and you may install and use the Font Software on a “LAN”, so long as (i) your use does not exceed the number of users permitted by the license and (ii) those persons using the Font Software are employees of your organization.

No Cloud Hosting.

You agree that you shall not, under any circumstances, host the Font Software in the cloud or any enterprise server or otherwise make the Font Software available on the internet. You may, however, store the Font Software for your permitted uses via a secure, password protected, cloud based service such as Dropbox, so long as you do not provide a copy to any person(s) not permitted under the terms of this license.

Intellectual Property
