Font License Agreement
This Font License Agreement (the "License") is a legal agreement between you and Forest Techno LLC ("Forest Techno", "we", "us"), the company that operates WonderFonT at wonderfont.art. It sets out what you may and may not do with the fonts you license from WonderFonT. By buying, subscribing to, downloading, installing, embedding or otherwise using any WonderFonT font, you accept this License. If you do not accept it, do not use the fonts.
This License works together with our Terms of Service, our Refund Policy and our Privacy Policy. If this License and the Terms of Service disagree about how you may use a font, this License wins.
1. Short version
This summary is for convenience only. The full text below is what binds.
- Every WonderFonT license covers both desktop and web use. There is no desktop-only product.
- A license is counted in people (Authorized Users) and websites (Licensed Sites). Computers and pageviews are not counted.
- A subscription licenses the whole published library for as long as it is paid. A permanent license licenses one family forever.
- You may use the fonts in logos, commercial work, products you sell and client projects, within your tier.
- You may not share, resell or give away the font files, or put them where others can download them.
- Work you finished while licensed stays licensed. After a subscription ends you need an active license again to start new work.
2. Definitions
- Font Software means the font files we deliver or serve to you (for example OTF, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2 files), in any version, together with any embedded data, documentation and updates we provide. Font Software is software, not a typeface design.
- Family means all the styles, weights and variants we publish under one family name, including weights and styles we add to that family later.
- Licensee or you means the person or the legal entity that holds the license. When a license is bought for a Workspace, the Licensee is the owner of that Workspace, or the company that owner represents.
- Workspace means the account space on WonderFonT that holds your licenses, team members, sites and billing.
- Authorized User means a named natural person designated in your Workspace to use the Font Software under a license. A seat belongs to a person, not to a computer. One Authorized User may install the Font Software on the computers that person personally uses for work.
- Licensed Site means one website registered to a license in your Workspace. A site is one hostname group:
example.comandwww.example.comcount as one site, and paths such asexample.com/shopare part of the same site. Every other subdomain or hostname counts as its own site, including staging, preview and blog subdomains (for examplestaging.example.comorblog.example.com). Wildcard hostnames are not accepted. - Hosted Web Fonts means Font Software we serve from our servers to a Licensed Site through the embed code shown in your Workspace.
- Self-Hosted Web Fonts means web font files included with a permanent license that you place on your own server for a Licensed Site.
- Subscription means a Personal, Studio or Agency plan billed monthly or yearly.
- Permanent License means a one-time purchase of a license to one Family at the Personal, Studio or Agency tier.
- Client means a third party for whom you create work.
- Finished Work means a fixed result that does not let anyone extract the font or type new text with it, such as an image, a printed item, a PDF, a video or a product package.
3. License tiers
3.1 Subscriptions
A Subscription licenses every Family published on WonderFonT, including Families published during the Subscription, for as long as the Subscription is paid.
| Plan | Licensed Sites | Authorized Users |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | 1 | 1 |
| Studio | 5 | 25 |
| Agency | 25 | 25 |
Studio and Agency Subscriptions may add extra Licensed Sites and extra Authorized Users as paid add-ons. A Personal Subscription may add extra Licensed Sites, but it always licenses one Authorized User only. Sites are counted per Workspace Subscription, so one Licensed Site may use any number of Families without taking a second slot.
A Subscription includes Hosted Web Fonts for its Licensed Sites. It does not include Self-Hosted Web Fonts.
3.2 Permanent Licenses
A Permanent License licenses one Family, including weights and styles later added to that same Family, with no end date.
| Tier | Licensed Sites for this Family | Authorized Users for this Family |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | 1 | 1 |
| Studio | 5 | 5 |
| Agency | 25 | 25 |
A Permanent License includes the desktop files and Self-Hosted Web Fonts for that Family. It does not include our Hosted Web Font service, which comes with a Subscription. The allowances of separate Permanent Licenses are never pooled: sites and users assigned to one Family's license do not count toward, or add to, another Family's license.
A Permanent License stays valid if an unrelated Subscription ends, and a Subscription ending never reduces a Permanent License.
3.3 Which tier applies
The tier you bought decides your rights, not the type of Workspace you bought it in. A Personal license bought inside a Studio Workspace still licenses one Authorized User and one Licensed Site.
If you need more than the largest tier, contact us for a custom quote. Rights beyond your tier exist only once we have confirmed them in writing and you have paid for them.
4. What you may do
Within your tier and while your license is valid, you may:
- Desktop use. Install the Font Software on computers used by your Authorized Users and use it to create text, graphics, layouts, documents and other designs.
- Commercial use. Use the fonts in commercial work, advertising, marketing, packaging, merchandise and products you sell, with no royalty to us and no cap on print runs or units.
- Logos and trademarks. Use the fonts to design logos, wordmarks and brand identities, and register those designs as trademarks. Your rights in the logo artwork are yours. You do not get any right in the Font Software itself.
- Web use. Use the fonts on your Licensed Sites, through our Hosted Web Fonts or, with a Permanent License, through Self-Hosted Web Fonts. There is no pageview cap for normal use.
- Finished Work. Make and distribute Finished Work (images, printed matter, video, broadcast, social posts and PDFs) without limit. You may embed the fonts in a PDF or similar document only as a subset and only with editing of the embedded text disabled, so that a reader cannot extract the font or edit text with it.
- Client work. Create work for Clients as described in section 6.
- Backups. Keep a reasonable number of backup copies of the Font Software, stored securely and used only to restore your own licensed installation.
- Format conversion for your own licensed use. Convert the Font Software into another format, or subset it, solely for your own use on a Licensed Site within this License, as long as the result is protected as described in section 7 and keeps our copyright and license notices.
5. What you may not do
Unless we agree in writing, you may not:
- Share, lend, rent, sell, sublicense, give away or otherwise distribute the Font Software, or make it available to anyone who is not an Authorized User.
- Upload the Font Software to a place where people outside your license can download or access it, including public repositories, shared drives, file-sharing sites, font managers that sync to other people and design tools that expose the font file to other accounts.
- Use the fonts in more Licensed Sites or by more Authorized Users than your tier allows.
- Put the Font Software inside an app, game, software product, e-book file (such as EPUB) that embeds the font, website template, theme, plugin or any product that is itself distributed to others, whether mobile, desktop, web or embedded device. This needs a separate app or embedding license from us.
- Offer the fonts as part of a product or service that lets end users type or create their own text with them, such as a template editor, a print-on-demand customizer, a website builder, a generator, or a platform for creating designs (for example, "type your name on a mug"). This needs a separate license from us.
- Modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Font Software, or create a derivative font from it, except for the format conversion and subsetting allowed in section 4. Editing individual letter shapes as artwork inside a finished logo is allowed; creating a new or modified font file is not.
- Use the Font Software, its outlines, glyphs, metrics, kerning data or rendered output to train, fine-tune, benchmark or build any machine learning or artificial intelligence system, dataset or model, or to create a font or type generator.
- Sell products whose main value is the letters of the font themselves, such as alphabet sticker sets, stencils, letter kits, rubber stamps or fonts of any kind. Products that carry your own words, names or designs are fine.
- Remove or change the copyright notices, the embedded license information or the font names in the Font Software.
- Use the WonderFonT name, the family names or our marks to name your own fonts or to suggest that we endorse you.
- Get around, disable or weaken any protection we use to restrict web font delivery to Licensed Sites.
- Use the fonts in any unlawful way or to create unlawful material.
6. Client work, contractors and agencies
- Finished Work for Clients is allowed without limit. You may hand a Client Finished Work, including a logo file converted to outlines.
- Editable files. You may give a Client or a printer editable files (such as a layout or a PDF) that use the fonts, but not the Font Software itself. If the Client or anyone else needs to edit the text or keep working with the fonts, they need their own license.
- Websites for Clients. A website you build for a Client may use the fonts as one of your Licensed Sites for as long as it is registered in your Workspace under a valid license. When the site passes to the Client for good, the Client needs its own license. For Hosted Web Fonts, WonderFonT offers a site transfer that moves the site to the Client's Workspace; the Client must hold a license with free capacity to accept it.
- Contractors and freelancers working for you may use the Font Software only as Authorized Users of your license, only for your projects, and must delete it when the work ends. You are responsible for their compliance with this License.
- Buying for a Client. You may buy a license on behalf of a Client in the Client's name, with the Client as Licensee. You may administer it for them.
7. Web fonts
- Hosted Web Fonts are delivered only to Licensed Sites registered in your Workspace. You must use the embed code we give you and must not copy the font files served by it.
- Self-Hosted Web Fonts must be protected from easy download by visitors of other websites. At a minimum, serve them only to your Licensed Site (for example with cross-origin restrictions) and do not link to them publicly.
- A Licensed Site may be replaced by another hostname in your Workspace. The old site stops being licensed when the new one takes its place.
- Web fonts may not be used in email campaigns, apps, ads served by third parties or on sites that are not Licensed Sites.
8. Duration, subscriptions ending and your finished work
8.1 Permanent Licenses
A Permanent License does not expire. It ends only if it is refunded, charged back, or terminated under section 12.
8.2 Subscriptions
While a Subscription is paid, your Authorized Users may download and use every published Family for new work, and your Licensed Sites may use Hosted Web Fonts.
When a Subscription ends (because you cancelled it or a payment failed and was not recovered):
- Desktop: your right to start new work, and to download the Font Software, ends at the end of the paid period. You must uninstall the Font Software you obtained under the Subscription.
- Web: Hosted Web Fonts keep working on your Licensed Sites for a grace period of 14 days after the paid period ends, so you have time to renew or switch. After that, our servers stop delivering the fonts and your sites fall back to the fonts named in your own CSS.
- Finished Work stays licensed. Anything you completed and published or delivered while your license was valid, such as logos, printed matter, images, videos, PDFs and products already made, may keep being used and distributed as it is, without end. Reprinting or reproducing that same Finished Work without changes is allowed. Editing it, or making new work with the fonts, needs a valid license.
A Permanent License you hold for a Family keeps those rights no matter what happens to a Subscription.
9. Upgrades and changes of tier
You may upgrade a Permanent License to a higher tier for the same Family by paying the difference between the current price of the higher tier and the amount you paid toward that Family's license. Subscriptions may be upgraded, downgraded or given add-ons as described in the Terms of Service. Once an upgrade is paid, the new tier replaces the old one.
10. Transfer
You may not transfer a license, except that:
- a Workspace owner may hand over ownership of the Workspace, with its licenses, to another person or company within the same organization, or to the buyer of your business, if the new owner accepts this License and you keep no copies of the Font Software; and
- a Licensed Site with Hosted Web Fonts may be moved to a Client's Workspace through the site transfer in section 6.
Any other attempt to transfer a license is void.
11. Ownership
The Font Software is licensed, not sold. Forest Techno and its licensors own the Font Software and all intellectual property rights in it, including copyrights, and the names of the Families. You get only the rights this License expressly grants. We may improve or change the Font Software; updates we release to a Family you hold are covered by the same license.
12. Termination
This License ends automatically if you break it and do not fix the breach within 14 days after we notify you, or immediately if the breach cannot be fixed (for example, public distribution of the Font Software). A license also ends if its payment is refunded or reversed. When a license ends you must stop using the Font Software under it for new work, delete all copies, and remove it from your sites. Finished Work made lawfully before termination for a reason other than your breach stays licensed as described in section 8.2.
13. Compliance
If we have a reasonable reason to believe that the Font Software is being used beyond your license, we may ask you in writing to confirm the number of Authorized Users, computers and sites using it. You agree to answer truthfully within 30 days. If your use exceeds your license, you agree to buy the license that covers your actual use, at our then current prices. We will not ask more than once in any 12 months without a specific reason.
14. Warranty and liability
We warrant that the Font Software, as delivered, will perform substantially as described on the product page for 30 days after you first receive it. If it does not, tell us within that period and we will, at our choice, fix or replace it, or refund what you paid for that Font Software. This is your only remedy under this warranty.
EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FONT SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, LANGUAGE COVERAGE OR COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY SOFTWARE, DEVICE OR BROWSER. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS LICENSE, AND THE LIMITS ON INDIRECT AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARE AS SET OUT IN SECTIONS 14 AND 15 OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE.
Language coverage, weights, styles and features are those listed for each Family. The language of our website does not mean that a font supports that language.
15. General
This License is governed by the governing law and dispute terms set out in the Terms of Service. If a provision of this License is found unenforceable, the rest of it stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may publish new versions of this License; a new version applies to licenses bought, and to Subscription periods that begin, after it is published. The version that applied when you bought a Permanent License continues to govern that license, unless you accept a newer version.
