Version 1.3 issued in June 2023, future editions subject to change.
•This Agreement is between “you” and Arthur Schwarz, whose Website is www.arthurschwarz.ch.
•“You” can refer to the “Buyer,” the “License Owner,” or any “Subcontractors” interchangeably. For example, “you” could be the “Buyer” and “License Owner,” but not a “Subcontractor,” or “you” could be the “Buyer” and a “Subcontractor” but not the “License Owner.” Each client that the designer works with will require a separate license, where the client becomes the “License Owner” and the designer becomes a “Subcontractor.”
•By purchasing, or downloading, or uploading, or sending, or installing, or using, or handling the digital typeface software (referred to as “Font” or “Fonts”), you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. By agreeing to these terms, you confirm that you have comprehended and will adhere to them.
•This Agreement takes the place of and overrides any prior verbal or written suggestions or Agreements made between you and Arthur Schwarz. It can only be modified if we agree in writing.
•When you purchase the Fonts, you are acquiring a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual, and worldwide license to use them as defined in this Agreement. However, you are not acquiring the copyright to the design or any other component of the Fonts. The copyright belongs to the original designer and will remain theirs, even if Arthur Schwarz has customized the Fonts.
• Provided that full payment of all fees has been received and the “License Owner,” any “Subcontractors,” and the “Buyer” have agreed to comply with the terms of the contract, we grant the “License Owner” a non-transferable, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to use the Fonts for the purposes specified in this contract.
• We will deliver the Fonts after we have received full payment. The Fonts folders are sent as zip file archives.
• Ownership of the Fonts and all associated components remains with us, and any rights not explicitly granted by us in this contract are reserved.
• This contract is governed by Swiss law, with exclusive jurisdiction in Geneva, Switzerland. Any legal disputes or proceedings will take place in Geneva, Switzerland. This contract is not subject to either the “United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods” or the “United Nations Convention on the Law Applicable to International Sales of Goods” or any conflict of law principles.
• You are responsible for any taxes that arise in your country, including any withholding taxes. We will not be obligated to pay such taxes, and they will not be deducted from your payments to us.
•Sales are final. Our Fonts are non-returnable and non-refundable.
•If any part of this contract is unenforceable, the rest remains valid, and the unenforceable portion will be replaced by the closest possible term that is enforceable.
The only metric that matters for licensing our Fonts is the size of the client’s company. That means the total number of employees of the company. It includes temporary staff (contract workers, seasonal employees, interns, and employees hired through staffing agencies). This metric determines the “Company Size.”
•Each Font license includes one “Subcontractor” by default. This allows the “License Owner” to authorize a single third party, such as an external designer, developer, producer, marketer, or other relevant party, to use the Fonts on their behalf. To allow other a third party to use the Fonts, the “License Owner” must purchase a Third Party License. This license grants permission to authorize a third party to use the Fonts on their behalf.
•For instance, a designer uses our Fonts to create designs for their client. The license cost is contingent upon the size of client’s company, which is ascertained by the total number of its employees. In this context, the client’s company shall be regarded as the “License Owner,” whereas the designer shall be deemed a “Subcontractor” who is who is creating designs for the “License Owner”. The “Buyer” is the person who purchases the license, which could be the designer, the “License Owner,” or anyone else involved in the transaction.
•Our Fonts are used across various media and in different ways. We have a range of licenses to accommodate these needs. The type of license you have purchased will be indicated on your invoice.
•In case the “License Owner” exceeds the “Company Size” stated in the “License Metrics” section of your invoice, you will need to purchase a license upgrade.
•The license fees are one-time payments. There is no subscription fees.
•The duration for every license is either permanent or has a specified duration.
•If license has a specified duration, the term is automatically renewed, unless Arthur Schwarz is given notice by “you” one month before the end of the initial or any subsequent term. All uses permitted herein must be discontinued by the term expiration date, subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement unless new Addenda covering a future time period are granted.
•The duration for the license you have purchased will be indicated on your invoice.
