This End User License Agreement
By receiving, purchasing, downloading, installing, using or otherwise handling our Fonts, you accept the terms of this binding legal Agreement. This Agreement replaces and supersedes any previous Agreements between you and APK Type. Please read the whole EULA carefully before agreeing to its terms and conditions. Thank you.
Grant of License
Upon payment in full, you will be granted a non-exclusive, terminable and non-transferable License to use the Fonts that accompany this EULA. You may not exceed the scope of this License.
License Model
We’ve adopted a License model (pioneered by ABCDinamo) in where a License is based on the number of employees/personnel (not meaning: the number of users and/or cpu’s) in the End User’s company. The logic behind the model is: the larger the brand or company, the greater the commercial value of their output with the fonts, and therefore the more expensive the License.
License Metric
The company size, measured in employees/personnel, is the only metric you apply to license fonts through APK Type. The purchase of our Fonts makes you (the buyer) a licensed user of the Fonts, not an owner.
Intellectual Property Rights
APK Type retain intellectual property rights, title and ownership in the Licensed Font(s), Web and App font(s) and all other electronic data provided and showcased by APK Type. The Fonts are protected under the Dutch article of law ‘Auteursrecht’ (BWBR0001886) and equivalent international laws and treaties.
Designer/Client
It is always the client that is the Licensee of the Fonts. If you are an agency, studio, designer etc. note that the client/brand is the end user of the Fonts; the client/brand needs to purchase the font License.
You can make the purchase on your clients’ behalf, but the License should always reflect the end user’s (read client/brand’s) company size, and not your agency or design studio’s company size. When you’d like to use our Fonts in your own branding or in any other type of commercial project you do for your own brand/company you’ll need to purchase your own License.
Trial Fonts
You can download our Trial Fonts to decide if you want to buy a License. As a designer you can also use the Trial Fonts for design proposals for clients. By downloading our Trial Fonts you automatically opt in for our newsletter. We only send 1-3 newsletters per year and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Licenses
All License fees are one-time fees. But you are obligated to upgrade your License to reflect your current company size and font usage respectively.
Desktop License
With a Desktop License you can install the fonts on all of your devices to create printed and digital static or moving documents/files, objects, merchandise, signage, and similar things. It is permitted to use the Fonts in the creation of design works, images/animations for websites, social media posts and otherwise for your personal use. Note regarding Logo design: with a Desktop License you can convert the font to outlines to edit the outlines however you may, but you cannot include the typeface design in any trademark registration.
Web License
Using the Fonts on a website requires a Web License. With a Web License you can use the Fonts on one web domain with the @font-face CSS method. You are only allowed to use the WOFF and WOFF2 files. It’s prohibited to put online and/or link to any other file format (like Truetype or OpenType for example). It’s also prohibited to generate desktop/print fonts from files received with a web license. If the end user’s company expands at any point you are required to buy additional Licenses.
App License
With an App License, you can embed the Fonts into one app (mobile app, web app, digital point of sale system, etcetera). Embedding of the Fonts in other software or devices or in any other form requires the purchase of a Special (not specified here) or Unlimited License. Please contact us to acquire an App License.
Special License
Please contact us if you would like to use/embed the Fonts for/in a Trademark registration, Broadcasting, Film, Streaming, Presentation software, Videogame, downloadable ePubs and online video advertising: motion banners, pop-up video advertising and HTML5 ads on third parties web servers, apps and websites.
Unlimited License
An Unlimited License combines the rights granted by our Desktop, Web, App and Special licenses, with no limits and no time restrictions. With an Unlimited License you pay a one-time fee and get unlimited use-rights across all media, independent of future company size or future needs, with no limits and no time restrictions (read: in perpetuity).
