End-User License Agreement (EULA)
Hello, you probably purchased a Font of ours so therefore this End User License Agreement (EULA) is a legal agreement between you, the Purchaser and/or License Owner, and Bleifrei Type (hereafter BT). By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Font Software (hereafter Fonts) you accept the terms of this agreement. By accepting these terms, you acknowledge your understanding of the agreement and agree to comply with its terms.
LICENSE & COPYRIGHT
In fairness to the type designer acquiring a License does not involve the design‘s copyright or any other aspect of the Fonts, except for the non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to utilize the Fonts within the specific use cases outlined below. BT retains full ownership over all intellectual property rights and the copyright lies with the Fonts’ original designer.

TRIALS
BT Font trials are very happily given for the purpose of trying out Fonts and getting a feel for them. Once you are happy and the Fonts are used in a published product, the appropriate License must be purchased. Any commercial use without a License is illegal.
FREE FONTS FOR STUDENTS
Students with a valid student ID have free access to all BT Fonts. Students are allowed to use the Fonts for personal projects, school work or for testing applications and having fun. As soon as a font is used for commercial work, (you guessed it) students, respectively their clients have to pay for an appropriate License. Then the guidelines described above apply.
LICENSE OWNER
The License Owner is either the designer, who is realizing a self-initiated project for themselves, or the company for whom a design project with our typeface is being created. A bit complicated, right? Here are two usage examples:
You are a designer or a design agency and you create your own project with our Fonts.
-> You are the License Owner and you and your company size are relevant.
You’re designing a project for a client with our fonts.
-> The License Owner is the client and their company size is relevant. You as the designer are allowed to use the font for this project.
LICENSE METRIC: COMPANY SIZE
According to the principle of “Big Fish Small Fish”, company size determines the price of the fonts. Small companies get affordable prices. Bigger companies pay for their expanded reach.
WARRANTY & LIABILITY
In the unfortunate event of any negative or burdensome circumstances, such as a lawsuit or injury, that impact us or the utilization of the fonts we mutually agree that we shall not be held accountable, even if the damage is caused by us or the fonts we provide. Should any authorized entity, such as a judge or court determine our liability, it will never exceed the amount equivalent to the License fee we received. Our fonts undergo thorough testing, but we cannot guarantee flawless compatibility with all technologies. We’d love to avoid disputes and settle them peacefully. Therefore, if you encounter any issues, please feel free to contact us via email at info@bleifreitype.ch.
