1. License

Upon payment, you are permitted to use the Fonts solely as specified in this license. If you are uncertain whether a use is allowed, please contact us at licensing@slantedhall.com. We'll be glad to answer your questions and are generally fair about requests.

The number of users allowed to use each Font is specified in your order, between square brackets after each Font name. If no number is listed, the default of two (2) users is allowed. If more people will be using the Fonts, you must purchase additional licenses.

Users of the Fonts must be members of the same organization or household. A separate license is required for consultants and clients who will be using the Fonts.

This license is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable, granting certain limited rights. No permanent or ownership rights are granted.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

All rights reserved. The Fonts, software, and their designs are the exclusive intellectual property of and owned Slanted Hall LLC. They are protected by United States Intellectual Property laws and international intellectual property laws and treaty provisions. Our trademarks, trade names, and service marks shall be used in accordance with accepted trademark practice, including identification of trademark owner's name.

You may not modify, reverse engineer, or distribute the Fonts. You shall use your best efforts to protect the Fonts from unauthorized use.

3. Permitted Uses

You are permitted to use the Fonts to create documents and images, subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein.

You are permitted to embed read-only versions of the Fonts in digital documents if the Fonts cannot be extracted from the documents. For example, you may produce PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) files with an embedded subset of the Fonts or converted to outlines. If someone not covered by this license needs to edit a document that includes the Fonts, they need to purchase a license to use the Font.

3.1. Printing with Service Bureaus

If a service bureau requires a copy of the Fonts to print your project, they must agree to ONLY use the Fonts for your project and MUST REMOVE the Fonts from their systems upon completion of your project. You will be fully responsible for the service bureau's compliance; any breach by the service bureau shall be deemed to be a breach by you.

We recommend that you provide your service bureau with a PDF file with the Font embedded.

3.2. Commercial Products

You may not embed the Fonts in commercial products, including but not limited to, applications, games, ebooks, albums, and video products. Use of the Fonts in commercial products requires a separate license.

You may not use the Fonts in projects that allow others to create content or lettering for resale or distribution. This includes, but is not limited to, stamps, adhesive lettering, templates, stencil products, alphabet blocks and temporary tattoos.

You may not publish or broadcast the Fonts in any medium, including, but not limited to, using the Fonts on the web, embedding the Fonts in an application or ebook, or using the Fonts for broadcast purposes. Such use requires a separate license.

Please contact us at licensing@slantedhall.com if you're uncertain if your intended use is covered by this license.

3.3. Modifications

You may NOT convert the Fonts to other formats. You may NOT modify the Fonts without prior written permission by Slanted Hall. If permission is granted, the copyright for the modified Font remains with Slanted Hall; the modified Font is also subject to the terms of this license agreement. As with the original Fonts, modified Fonts must not be distributed in any way.

If you need a different format than what we provide or additional glyphs, please contact us.

3.4 Working with clients or third parties

If you are a design firm, advertising agency, or purchasing this license for use by or on behalf of such an entity, the ultimate end user (your client) must also purchase a license appropriate for their intended use of the Fonts.
