font licence.

This is the licence that comes with every typeface bought on this site, and the one the font files point to. In short: install it, use it for your own work and for clients, in print and on screen. Apps, e-books, broadcast and trademarked logos need a word with me first.

Johnny Lemoine Font Software End User Licence Agreement · Version 1.0

This Agreement is between you (the "Licensee") and Johnny Lemoine (the "Foundry"). By downloading, installing or using the Font Software you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install the Font Software and request a refund in line with the reseller's policy.

"Font Software" means the font files supplied with this Agreement, in every format provided, together with any updates, and the designs of the typefaces they render.

1What you are buying

The Font Software is licensed, not sold. The Foundry keeps ownership of it and of all intellectual property in it. You are granted the non-exclusive, non-transferable rights set out below for the tier you purchased.

2Desktop licence

A Desktop Licence permits installation on computers used by up to the number of people stated on your invoice (the "Permitted Users"). One licence covers up to five Permitted Users unless your invoice says otherwise.

You may:

  1. install the Font Software on computers and devices used by Permitted Users, including a personal machine belonging to a Permitted User;
  2. use it to create static images, artwork, documents and printed matter, whether for yourself or for clients, and whether or not those works are sold;
  3. embed it in a PDF or comparable document in a form that permits viewing and printing, and editing where the document is exchanged only between Permitted Users;
  4. make one archival backup copy.

You may not use a Desktop Licence to serve the Font Software on a website, embed it in an application or e-book, or use it in a logo that is registered as a trademark. Those uses are covered in clauses 3, 4 and 6.

3Web licence

A Web Licence permits use of the supplied WOFF and WOFF2 files with the CSS @font-face rule, on domains you own or control, up to the monthly page view allowance stated on your invoice.

You must host the web font files on your own server or your own CDN. You may not place them on a public font service, a shared repository, or any location from which third parties can retrieve them for their own use. If your traffic exceeds the allowance, contact the Foundry for an upgrade.

4Application and e-book licence

Embedding the Font Software in a mobile, desktop or embedded-device application, in a game, or in an e-book or other distributed digital publication, requires an Application Licence covering one named title. It is not included in the Desktop or Web tiers. Contact the Foundry.

5Broadcast and film

Use in broadcast television, streamed series, feature film or advertising with a media spend above USD 500,000 requires a Broadcast Licence. Contact the Foundry.

6Logos and trademarks

You may set a logo or wordmark in the Font Software under a Desktop Licence. If that logo is to be filed as a registered trademark, you must first convert the lettering to outlines and obtain written consent from the Foundry, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Registering the typeface designs themselves, or any close imitation, is never permitted.

7What is never permitted

You may not:

  1. sell, sub-license, rent, lend, give away or otherwise distribute the Font Software, including as part of a template, theme, design asset or bundle;
  2. modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, rename, or create derivative typefaces from the Font Software, except that you may convert set text to outlines within your own artwork, and you may subset web fonts for performance;
  3. place the Font Software in a shared drive, repository or asset library that people outside your Permitted Users can access;
  4. remove or alter the copyright, trademark or licence information inside the font files;
  5. use the Font Software to produce material that is unlawful, or that is intended to harass or defame.

8Supplying fonts to a client or contractor

You may give a copy of the Font Software to a service bureau, printer or contractor solely for the purpose of producing your work, on the condition that they use it only for that work and delete it afterwards. Handing the Font Software to a client for their own continuing use is a distribution and is not permitted. Your client should buy their own licence, and the Foundry is happy to invoice them directly.

9Updates

The Foundry may release updated versions. You are entitled to updates of the versions you licensed, free of charge, for as long as the Foundry distributes them. The Foundry is not obliged to keep any particular version available.

10Warranty and liability

The Foundry warrants that the Font Software will substantially perform as described for thirty days from delivery. Your sole remedy under this warranty is replacement or a refund of the licence fee.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Font Software is otherwise provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Foundry's total liability under this Agreement will not exceed the amount you paid for the licence, and the Foundry is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost data.

Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

11Termination

This licence ends automatically if you breach it and do not put the breach right within thirty days of written notice. On termination you must stop using the Font Software and delete all copies. Clauses 1, 7, 10 and 12 survive termination.

12General

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and the Foundry about the Font Software. If any clause is held unenforceable, the rest stands. A failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, and the courts of that state have exclusive jurisdiction, save that the Foundry may seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction.
