1. License Agreement

When you purchase a license, you are purchasing the right to use the font(s) under specific conditions defined in this agreement—not ownership of the font(s) themselves.

By downloading, installing, or using the font(s), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to all terms and conditions of this EULA.

Acquiring a license grants the license owner a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use specified font(s) for the intended purposes stated at the time of purchase.

The font(s) may not be shared with or installed by any external party, except for one initial subcontractor. This means one subcontractor may use the font(s) on behalf of the license owner exclusively for the licensed project. Any additional external collaborators require their own license or a seat license.

Ownership of the font(s) remains entirely with Mindt® Studio.

1.1. Buying and Owning a License

• The license must be owned and paid for by the entity that will ultimately use the font(s) in its design work or brand output.
• Designers may purchase a license for a client, confirming they are authorized to act on behalf of the license owner. The license is intended for use by that client only.
• Each client or entity must hold its own license. Font(s) may not be reused across unrelated clients.
• Font licenses are valid within the license owner’s organization and include access for one initial subcontractor. Additional agencies or subcontractors must obtain their own license(s).
  

1.2. Pricing

• All prices are one-time fees, listed in EUR. VAT applies where legally required.
• Prices are structured by company size and license type.
  

1.3. Upgrading Licenses

• The license must be upgraded when the company size exceeds the purchased tier.
• If your company grows beyond 5000 employees or its size lies outside the listed tiers, a custom license must be requested via email.

1.4. Back-up Copies

• You may create a reasonable number of back-up copies of the font(s) for archival purposes only. Any back-up must include the same copyright, trademark, and proprietary notices as the original files. All back-up copies must be deleted if the license is terminated.

1.5. Restriction as Goods for Sale

• This license does not permit the use of the font(s) in the creation or production of alphabet or letterform products (such as stamp sets, house numbers, adhesive alphabet letters, alphabet punch, embroidery templates, stencils, etc.) or in the decoration or lettering of physical goods for sale.
• Any such uses require a separate, custom license.
