END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

*\. AN OVERVIEW OF THIS AGREEMENT

This End User License Agreement is a legal agreement between You, the licensee, and Us (Carl Shura) at Department of Letters.

When You purchase a Font from Us, you are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the font. This agreement takes effect when You download or use the Font, and constitutes agreement and understanding of the terms. We expressly reserve all rights not granted to you in this agreement. 

Fonts: For the purposes of this license, a “Font” is defined as the font software, the designs embodied therein, and all supplemental materials provided along with the font software. The Fonts are licensed, not sold. Obtaining a license to the Fonts gives You the right to use the Fonts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Addendum(s) to this Agreement, and the order invoice You received when You purchased the License (the “Order Invoice”). The Order Invoice is incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.

Please read this agreement before installing or using the font software described in the Order Invoice (collectively “the Fonts”) and owned, licensed, or distributed by Department of Letters (“We”, “Us” or “Our”). This Font Software End-User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is an agreement between Us and the party stated in the Order Invoice (“You” or “Your”) and governs what You can and cannot do with the Fonts. By installing, copying, or using any portion of the Fonts, You accept and agree to this Agreement. If You do not agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use or complete the installation of the Fonts.

1\. GRANT OF LICENSE

This Agreement grants You a non-exclusive license to use the Fonts after Our receipt of Your payment and as specified in this Agreement and in the Order Invoice. 

Your license is limited to the uses, number of users, and specifications identified in the Order Invoice and as stated in this Agreement, including the applicable Addendum(s) (“Permitted Uses”). Any other use or number of users requires a separate license from Us. The term is perpetual if not stated in the Order Invoice. The territory is worldwide if not stated in the Order Invoice. This non-exclusive license does not preclude Our right to license the Fonts to other users. 

Upon Our receipt of payment for the Order Invoice and subject to the terms of the applicable Addendum(s), We grant You a nonexclusive, royalty free, nonassignable, nonsublicensable, and revocable license to use the Fonts for and subject to the Permitted Uses (“License”), provided that You: (i) shall not transfer, give access to, or distribute any part of any Fonts to any third party without Our prior written consent; (ii) shall not attempt in any way to emulate, mimic, or otherwise create a substitute for any Fonts, including outlining; and (iii) comply with this Agreement. We may revoke this License if you breach this Agreement. The term “Base License”means the License without any applicable Addendum(s).

If You are a business entity purchasing the License for use by Your owners, employees, agents, or other representatives, You shall notify the representatives of the terms of this Agreement and ensure that such representatives abide by this Agreement.

2\. PERMITTED USES & RESTRICTIONS

You agree to follow the following terms and restrictions in this section. Please note that some Addendum(s) modify this section and permit certain uses that are not allowed in the Base License.

a\. **Copying**. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Fonts, provided Your backup copies are not installed or used for anything other than archival purposes. You may transmit a digital copy of the Fonts used in a particular document to a commercial printer or service bureau only for the purposes of outputting the particular document, and only if they agree to use the Fonts exclusively for Your work and retain no copies of the Fonts on completion of the work. You are liable for any misuse of Fonts by such third parties.

c\. **Commercial Letterform Products**. You may not use the Fonts in letterform-related or alphabet products, including letterform reproduction products and any product, device, or service which owes an essential portion of its value or appeal to the shapes of the letterforms in the Fonts. For example, the Fonts may not be used for: rub-on letters; rubber stamps; stencil alphabet sets; adhesive alphabet letters; print-on-demand products designed interactively by a third party with the fonts; reproductions of individual letterforms for house numbering, signage, or scrapbooking. A license for letterform product usage may be purchased from Us separately.
