WEBFONT END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("EULA")
Thank you for choosing to license a Sharp Type Co. font and typeface. This is a license agreement (the "Agreement" or "EULA") effective from date of purchase between the Licensee having a place of business at the Licensee's address (collectively hereinafter, "Licensee", "you" or "your") and Sharp Type Corporation (hereinafter, "Sharp Type", "Licensor", "we", "us" or "our"), a New York corporation. In accepting the terms of this Agreement, Licensee acknowledges its understanding and promises to comply with its terms.
License and Fee You are licensing the following font software from us:
(the "Font Software") and the right to use it in connection with creating and displaying the typeface(s) created thereby. Subject to your full payment to Sharp Type of the webfont license fee set forth in the Order Form you completed and agreed upon at checkout (the "Webfont License Fee" or simply the "License Fee"), Sharp Type grants to you this non-transferable license for your personal or commercial use of the Font Software to create, style and publish HTML documents on the Internet (i) on certain designated URLs, (ii) for the duration of this license, and (iii) up to a set number of Page Views, all set forth in your license Order Form. Please note that the Webfont License Fee may increase if the total number of Page Views per month exceeds the amounts you selected in your Order Form. The license granted in this Agreement will not be effective until the terms of this EULA are accepted and the License Fee is paid in full, which fee is non-refundable and deemed fully earned upon our receipt.
For purposes of this EULA, "Order Form" means any document or form (digital or otherwise) provided by Sharp Type to you and which you accept at checkout) referencing the various parameters of the license granted to you, including, as applicable: (a) pricing/license fees, (b) the Application Title, Authorized Users, Registered Users, and/or monthly Page Views as well as any other license "tiers", (c) the Term of the license, (d) designated brand, and/or (e) other specifics of the EULA; an "Order Form" can include, but is not limited to, an online sales form or similar document filled in and accepted by you at checkout on Sharp Type's website. Please note that not all of the aforementioned parameters may be applicable to this specific EULA.
Grant This EULA gives you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited and revocable, limited right to install and use the Font Software to create, style, edit, and display text via the CSS@font-face rule (a) at a single Domain Name identified in the Order Form (which includes sub-pages that are located at that same domain name) specified as a Website URL (b) so long as the URL and website are owned and controlled by you, and (c) provided that the display of the text at such domain will not exceed the monthly number of Page Views you specified in the Order Form for the duration of the Term. The Page View tier you selected in the Order Form must reflect the highest number of Page Views in any single month within a 12-month period. For purposes of this EULA, each instance of access to a particular web page is a "Page View", regardless of whether such visit or display is unique or such instance of access originates from the same domain.
Please note that, you are not buying the Font Software from Sharp Type, and so, you may only use the Font Software as expressly permitted in this EULA.
Permitted Uses The following uses are expressly permitted under this Agreement (and all other use is prohibited and reserved to Sharp Type, unless you have an addendum or another applicable license from us):
This License grants you the right, as set forth above to use the Font Software to create, style, edit and display:
HTML documents at the domain(s) specified by you in your Order Form, provided that you own and control the domain(s);
HTML animated digital banners (in which case, each impression will constitute a separate Page View for purposes of the permitted maximum monthly number of Page Views in the Order Form). For avoidance of doubt, this license does not cover use of the Font Software to create static banners - even those containing hyperlinks. Use of the Font Software for that purpose would require a Desktop License.
You may display the content created by the Font Software for up to the monthly number of Page Views you selected in the Order Form. Please note that you are solely responsible for selecting the permitted number of Page Views under this License, and you will not be entitled to any refund, credit, or discount in the event that your website has less traffic (i.e. fewer Page Views) than the amounts you selected in your Order Form. In the event that your Page Views exceed the designated amount during the Term, you must immediately purchase an upgrade which allows for those additional monthly Page Views.
Specific Restrictions on Use (i.e. What Uses Are Not Permitted)
You may not use the Font Software to create websites, webpages, articles or documents for display on others’ domain names or websites. (i.e. You must own and control the domain(s) where the content created by the Font Software is displayed). You also may not use the Font Software in excess of the Page Views limit you specified on the Order Form.
This is not a "Desktop", "Application", or "eBook /ePub" license, and therefore, You agree that you will not use the Font Software to create (or adorn) documents, stationery, signage or other printed materials, or in any "static" or embedded digital materials (such as, without limitation, pdf, ePub, or other eReader files, and you further agree that you will not embed the Font Software in any software application, web-based or otherwise (including in any word processor or presentation software). The instant Web License solely covers styling, editing, and displaying of the Font at and on web pages. If you have a smart-phone, tablet or other application that works in conjunction with your web page (via API or otherwise), please note that you will need a separate Application License in the event that you seek to embed or edit the Font via or in such a downloaded/local software application (regardless whether it is "local/downloaded" in whole or in part – for purposes of illustration: if you intend to use the Font Software in connection with a web application like the subscription service Microsoft Office 365®, for example, you would need this Webfont License; if you were to use the Font Software in connection with a desktop or mobile application, like Microsoft Outlook® , you would need an App License).
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, IPTV, OTT or other television, any online subscription-based services (such as Netflix or Hulu), or celebrity webseries, whether on the Internet or broadcast through other media.
Please note: We offer licenses for most of the above-uses at our website, or, if you are seeking "broadcast" or "webcast", or Application rights, please contact us at licensing@sharptype.co.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability We take care to provide Font Software that meets or exceeds the standards of the industry; even so, however, we do not warrant that the Font Software will operate uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be responsible for any failure of the Font Software to operate with any system(s) or computer program(s) or accessories you may have. We further will not be responsible for any damage to your hardware, systems, or for the disclosure or loss of data, profit or goodwill, or for any lack of legibility of any text or typeface produced by the Font Software.
If Font Software is Corrupted or Flawed. In the event that, within ten (10) days after the effective date of this Agreement , you notify us that you have discovered the Font Software to be corrupted or otherwise flawed through no act or omission on your part, and provided that such defect can be reproduced by Sharp Type during its review of the Font Software, we may, in our sole discretion, elect to either provide you with a replacement copy of the then-current version of the Font Software, or refund to you the License Fee we have received from you in connection with this EULA.
