On Fontsim.com, the licenses available are all a combination desktop and web license (For web, one license grants permission to embed that font on one website. Using a font for live text on more than one website means you must purchase more than one license.) 

After you place your order, you'll receive an email with your receipt and download link for a ZIP foler. The foldeer contains the font file and a PDF of the font license. Your receipt and PDF license together constitute the user agreement, and this agreement allows you to use the font to create designs and products for yourself or for a client or customer.  ​There are a few basic concepts the license contains:

  • This license is perpetual, for a one-time fee - no need to pay again.​

  • The font may not be embedded in shared files - for example, in a pdf, the file should be set to Read-Only.​

  • The license is yours alone. The license or font file may not be transferred to anyone else in any form or under any circumstances, except in the specific cases defined in the license.

  • A single license purchased on behalf of a design studio with several employees grants usage rights for up to 5 employees in the same physical location.

A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS

Our fonts are updated from time to time. Updates such as general improvements will usually be sent to anyone who has purchased the font in the past. If the update is a significant upgrade, such as adding styles, the upgrade will be available for an additional cost. See this blog post for a list of previous updates and eligibility for new upgrades.

This is a short explanatory summary of the font license. The terms of our licenses may change. The conditions as written in the user agreement you have received after purchase are the ones that apply.

And of course, feel free to contact me with any questions regarding Font licensing, before or after purchase.
