Licensing
  Licensing options and usage of KTF fonts

Kyiv Type Foundry grants the Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable right under terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement (EULA). The Font Software is licensed, not sold. The License authorizes the Licensee to install or self-host and use the Font Software on one or several computers or server for one or several specific uses as defined below (Desktop License, Web License, etc.). A License is valid for one single company or institution only and restricted to one single location stipulated by the Licensee. The Licensee has to truthfully state the Company Size upon the checkout at our online store or by email request. Company Size is based on the number of people working for the Licensee’s company. A Designer can not purchase a License on behalf of one Client and use it for another. Different entities commissioning a Designer must have their own, separate Licenses according to the specific use cases of their brands. If the company employs any third parties or self-employed or temporarily-employed freelancers, a separate license is necessary for those parties. If the Company Size changes due to the company growth, the Licensee is responsible to contact Kyiv Type Foundry and upgrade the License. If the licensed company closes down or merges with other business entities, the License and the Font Software cannot be transferred. If the Licensee purchases an “Unlimited License,” the Licensee won’t have to ever upgrade the License.
