Embedded Use
All Embedded Use is Prohibited. “Embedding” means the font file is included in the electronic document, app, or other file, as opposed to a static graphic (raster or bit-mapped) representation.
This Desktop License allows only for use of “static” rasterized (bit-map) form of the licensed font.
Linseed Studio offers separate licenses that allow the embedding of fonts in apps, websites, and e-publications.
This License Agreement contains important legal terms, and Licensee acknowledges that by completing the purchase process and/or checking “agree”, Licensee has read the entire License Agreement and agrees to the terms herein, including, without limitation Section 9 (Important General Legal Provisions). Linseed Studio offers different types of license agreements and the one selected at the time of purchase applies to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Asset.
This License Agreement states the terms and conditions of Licensee’s non-exclusive and limited copyright license with respect to the font software (“Licensed Asset”) made available on linseedstudio.com by Linseed Studio and purchased by Licensee. The Licensed Asset includes software or instructions which, when used on an appropriate device or devices, generates typeface and typographic designs and ornaments and all bitmap representations of typeface and typographic designs and ornaments created by or derived from the Licensed Asset. The Licensed Asset item number will be emailed to you at the account email address Linseed Studio has on file along with a link to this License Agreement; retain this for your records. This License Agreement may also apply to digital content that Linseed Studio makes available at no charge (e.g., for promotional purposes) only if expressly indicated during the initial download for that digital content.
Subject to the terms herein, this License Agreement expressly prohibits all “embedding” of the Licensed Asset. “Embedding” a font means to include the font software Licensed Asset in a file (app, website, e-book, etc.) to be used by the person receiving or accessing the file, as opposed to a static rasterized (or bit-mapped) image of the font characters. For example, this License Agreement prohibits embedding a font file from the Licensed Asset in a website’s code or in an e-book. However, including static, rasterized (or bit-mapped) images (of the font character) created by the Licensed Asset is not considered embedding the font Licensed Asset and is permitted if otherwise allowed by this License Agreement. Linseed Studio offers separate licenses that allow embedding for websites, apps, and e-books.

Licensee may sublicense Licensee’s rights to third parties in only three situations:
to manufacture, market, or distribute completed End Uses (defined above) that use the Licensed Asset (as expressly permitted herein) when done on behalf of Licensee, provided that the sublicense may only be granted on condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any other way and Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance. For example, Licensee may use distributors to manufacture or distribute physical products for resale or product packaging; similarly, Licensee may use third party providers, such as website publishers to display completed digital advertisements;
to a service provider serving as Licensee’s subcontractor to provide services to Licensee provided that (i) Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance and (ii) Licensee has purchased a sufficient number of seats for the Licensed Asset Licensee (e.g., each individual person requires a license as stated above); and
to a client of Licensee where Licensee transfers to that client a completed End Use (defined above, such as a completed advertisement, product, or product packaging) (as expressly allowed herein). In this instance, the sublicense may only be granted on condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any way other than is necessary in order to exploit the End Use that Licensee provides to the client. Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance.

The then current version of the License Agreement posted at the time of purchase shall apply to purchases (even if the Licensed Asset is downloaded after the License Agreement is updated). Updated versions of the License Agreement shall not apply retroactively to prior purchases unless either (1) Licensee is notified of its option to apply the updated terms to prior purchases and expressly agrees (e.g., via clicking “Agree”) or (2) such modification (i) does not adversely affect any rights of Licensee and (ii) Linseed Studio notifies Licensee of the changes and that they will apply retroactively (e.g., via email to the address on file).

Highlights of Important License Provisions: This Font Software For Electronic Publishing Use License Agreement allows the use of font software for the creation of the number of e-books or other e-publication titles selected at checkout, owned or controlled by Licensee, including by embedding the font software Licensed Asset in the e-book or e-publication only if the Licensed Asset cannot be extracted. This License Agreement prohibits all other (non electronic publishing) use of the Licensed Asset (such as on desktop, mobile, video game applications and website use), however Linseed Studio offers different licenses to cover these uses. All uses are subject to the terms and limitations in the full License Agreement.
Licensee:
Individual or Legal Entity (Company), as indicated at the time of purchase.
Commercial Use: Physical and Digital End Products
This license permits use of the Licensed Asset in the number of e-books or other e-publication titles selected at checkout, owned or controlled by Licensee for an unlimited number of sales or distribution. A “title” means one (1) standalone e-publication; each book in a series and each issue of an e-publication (including but not limited to magazine publications) is a single title. Any resale/sublicense of the Licensed Asset in source file form or otherwise competitive with the Licensed Asset is prohibited.
Commercial Use: Advertisements and Promotion
Prohibited
Commercial Use: Broadcast Content
Prohibited
Embedded Use
Embedded Use is Permitted for use in electronic publications only if the font software Licensed Asset is non-extractable. All other Embedding is Prohibited. “Embedding” means the font file is included in the electronic document, app, or other file, as opposed to a static graphic (raster or bit-mapped) representation.
Linseed Studio offers separate licenses that allow embedding the font Licensed Asset in applications and websites, as well as a license that allows for desktop use of the font Licensed Asset.
This License Agreement contains important legal terms, and Licensee acknowledges that by completing the purchase process and/or checking “agree”, Licensee has read the entire License Agreement and agrees to the terms herein, including, without limitation Section 9 (Important General Legal Provisions). Linseed Studio offers different types of license agreements and the one selected at the time of purchase applies to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Asset.
This License Agreement states the terms and conditions of Licensee’s non-exclusive and limited copyright license with respect to the font software (“Licensed Asset”) made available on linseedstudio.com and purchased by Licensee. The Licensed Asset includes software or instructions which, when used on an appropriate device or devices, generates typeface and typographic designs and ornaments and all bitmap representations of typeface and typographic designs and ornaments created by or derived from the Licensed Asset. The Licensed Asset item number will be emailed to you at the account email address Linseed Studio has on file along with a link to this License Agreement; retain this for your records. This License Agreement may also apply to digital content that Linseed Studio makes available at no charge (e.g., for promotional purposes) only if expressly indicated during the initial download for that digital content.
Subject to the terms herein, this License Agreement allows “embedding” of the font Licensed Asset only in the number of e-books or other e-publication titles selected at checkout, owned or controlled by Licensee, subject to the Licensed Asset being embedded in a secure manner in the electronic publication which does not allow anyone other than the Licensee to extract the Licensed Asset outside of the electronic publication. “Embedding” a font means to include the font software Licensed Asset in an electronic publication to be used by the person receiving or accessing the file through an electronic publication, as opposed to a static rasterized (or bit-mapped) image of the font characters.
This License Agreement is an agreement between:
The “Licensee” who is the individual person indicated as the licensee during the purchase process or that person’s employer if that person is acting on the employer’s behalf and with the employer’s authorization
and Linseed Studio (“Linseed Studio”) as licensor.
If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer, then only your employer is the “Licensee” and can use the Licensed Asset subject to the terms of this License Agreement; in that case you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer, as the Licensee, to the terms of this License Agreement.
The number of individual users permitted to access and use the Licensed Asset (as permitted in this Licensee Agreement) is the number of users (or seats) selected and paid for at the time of purchase. If Licensee requires additional users (or seats), additional licenses to the Licensed Asset must be purchased.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Licensee may only upload, for backup/archival purposes only the Licensed Asset to (i) a server owned and controlled by Licensee or (ii) a cloud storage service, cloud-based design app, or digital asset manager, account controlled by Licensee, in each case for use of the Licensed Asset by Licensee only, as permitted herein.

If any one or more of the criteria in (i), (ii), and (iii) is met, then the use is deemed “Commercial”.

Waiver and Severability
No waiver of by Linseed Studio of any term or condition set forth in this License Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Linseed Studio to assert a right or provision under this License Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Entire Agreement
This License Agreement, together with the Linseed Studio Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) constitutes the sole and entire agreement between Licensee on the one hand and Linseed Studio on the other hand with respect to the Licensed Asset and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Licensed Asset. This License Agreement supersedes any conflicting terms set forth in the Terms of Use with respect to the Licensed Asset.

Updated versions of the License Agreement shall not apply retroactively to prior purchases unless either (1) Licensee is notified of its option to apply the updated terms to prior purchases and expressly agrees (e.g., via clicking “Agree”) or (2) such modification (i) does not adversely affect any rights of Licensee and (ii) Linseed Studio notifies Licensee of the changes and that they will apply retroactively (e.g., via email to the address on file).

This License Agreement shall not be interpreted against the drafting party.
Highlights of Important License Provisions: This Font Software For Application Use License Agreement allows the use of font software for the creation of a single mobile, desktop, or video game application title owned or controlled by Licensee, including by embedding the font software Licensed Asset in the application only if the Licensed Asset is non-extractable. This License Agreement prohibits all other (non-application) use of the Licensed Asset (such as electronic publication use, website use (including web applications), and desktop use), however Linseed Studio offers different licenses to cover these uses. All uses are subject to the terms and limitations in the full License Agreement.
Licensee
Individual or Legal Entity (Company), as indicated at the time of purchase.
Commercial Use: Physical and Digital End Products
This license permits use of the Licensed Asset in a single mobile app, desktop app, or video game title owned or controlled by Licensee. A single “title” is one (1) standalone application and excludes all other versions aside from a replacement version that contains only bug fixes. If another similar, subsequent application (sequel, prequel, or other new version) is created another app License would be required if the Licensed Asset is to be used in this subsequent application. Under this License the Licensee may use the Licensed Asset in one title that is available on multiple device platforms, provided the titles are the same in all respects other than for compatibility purposes with the respective platforms (for example the Licensed Asset may be used in one title where that same title is available on both iOS and Android devices if the applications are the same except for platform compatibility purposes). This License prohibits use in any web application (see our Webfont License)
Any resale/sublicense of the Licensed Asset in source file form or otherwise competitive with the Licensed Asset is prohibited.
Commercial Use: Advertisements and Promotion
Prohibited
Commercial Use: Broadcast Content
Prohibited
Embedded Use
Embedded Use is Permitted for use in mobile applications, desktop applications, and video games only if the font software Licensed Asset is non-extractable and cannot be installed by an end user for any use outside of the licensed application.
All other Embedding is Prohibited. “Embedding” means the font file is included in the electronic document, app, or other file, as opposed to a static graphic (raster or bit-mapped) representation.
Linseed Studio offers separate licenses that allow embedding the font Licensed Asset in electronic publications and websites, as well as a license that allows for desktop use of the font Licensed Asset.
This License Agreement contains important legal terms, and Licensee acknowledges that by completing the purchase process and/or checking “agree”, Licensee has read the entire License Agreement and agrees to the terms herein, including, without limitation Section 9 (Important General Legal Provisions). Linseed Studio offers different types of license agreements and the one selected at the time of purchase applies to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Asset.
This License Agreement states the terms and conditions of Licensee’s non-exclusive and limited copyright license with respect to the font software (“Licensed Asset”) made available on linseedstudio.com by the Shop Owner and purchased by Licensee. The Licensed Asset includes software or instructions which, when used on an appropriate device or devices, generates typeface and typographic designs and ornaments and all bitmap representations of typeface and typographic designs and ornaments created by or derived from the Licensed Asset. The Licensed Asset item number will be emailed to you at the account email address Linseed Studio has on file along with a link to this License Agreement; retain this for your records. This License Agreement may also apply to digital content that Linseed Studio makes available at no charge (e.g., for promotional purposes) only if expressly indicated during the initial download for that digital content.
Subject to the terms herein, this License Agreement allows “embedding” of the font Licensed Asset only in a single mobile, desktop, and video game application (not web applications) title owned or controlled by Licensee, subject to the Licensed Asset being embedded in a secure manner in the application which does not allow anyone other than the Licensee to extract and/or use the Licensed Asset outside of the licensed application. “Embedding” a font means to include the font software Licensed Asset in an application, website, or electronic publication to be used by the person receiving or accessing the file, as opposed to a static rasterized (or bit-mapped) image of the font characters.
This License Agreement is an agreement between:
The “Licensee” who is the individual person indicated as the licensee during the purchase process or that person’s employer if that person is acting on the employer’s behalf and with the employer’s authorization and
Linseed Studio (“Linseed Studio”) as licensor.
If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer, then only your employer is the “Licensee” and can use the Licensed Asset subject to the terms of this License Agreement; in that case you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer, as the Licensee, to the terms of this License Agreement.
The number of individual users permitted to access and use the Licensed Asset (as permitted in this Licensee Agreement) is the number of users (or seats) selected and paid for at the time of purchase. If Licensee requires additional users (or seats), additional licenses to the Licensed Asset must be purchased.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Licensee may only upload, for backup/archival purposes only the Licensed Asset to (i) a server owned and controlled by Licensee or (ii) a cloud storage service, cloud-based design app, or digital asset manager, account controlled by Licensee, in each case for use of the Licensed Asset by Licensee only, as permitted herein.
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT PERMITS BOTH COMMERCIAL USE AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE; COMMERCIAL USE AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE DEFINED
This License Agreement permits Non-commercial use and Commercial use of the Licensed Asset, as expressly specified in Section 4 (Permitted Uses and Quantity/Impression Limitations).
Commercial Use
“Commercial” use is any use: (i) that involves an exchange of money or other consideration, (ii) that promotes a business (e.g., sole proprietorship, corporation, or partnership), product, or service, or (iii) where financial gain or other consideration is either sought or a result, directly or indirectly, of Licensee’s use of the Licensed Asset. If any one or more of the criteria in (i), (ii), and (iii) is met, then the use is deemed “Commercial”.
Non-Commercial Use (Personal)
“Non-commercial” use is a use for solely personal purposes; any use that meets the definition of “Commercial use” can not be a Non-commercial use.
PERMITTED USES AND QUANTITY/IMPRESSION LIMITATIONS
An “End Use” of a Licensed Asset means use of the Licensed Asset only as expressly permitted below: Any End Use for Commercial use must: (i) be significantly different than the original Licensed Asset, (ii) require time, effort, and skill to produce and (iii) not derive its primary value from the Licensed Asset itself.
End Products
Mobile, Desktop, and Video Game Applications for Commercial Use or Non-commercial Use:
Licensee may use and embed the Licensed Asset in mobile, desktop, and video game applications owned or controlled by Licensee allowing the Licensed Asset to be properly displayed in the mobile, desktop or video game application, provided that the Licensed Asset must be non-extractable by anyone other than the Licensee.
Quantity Limitations on End Products for Commercial Use: This License permits use of the Licensed Asset in only a single mobile, desktop, or video game application title (whether for Commercial use or Non-Commercial use), however there is no quantity limit for the sale or distribution of the single licensed application. A “title” is one (1) standalone application and excludes all other versions aside from a replacement version that contains only bug fixes. If another similar, subsequent application (sequel, prequel, or other new version) is created another font software for application use License would be required if the Licensed Asset is to be used in this subsequent application. Under this License the Licensee may use the Licensed Asset in one title that is available on multiple device platforms, provided the versions are the same in all respects other than for compatibility purposes with the respective platforms (for example the Licensed Asset may be used in two versions of one title where that same title is available on both iOS and Android devices if the application versions are the same except for platform compatibility differences).
PROHIBITED USES UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (these uses may be available with a different license or custom license, contact Linseed Studio to find out more):

This License Agreement is limited to use of the Licensed Asset for use in mobile, desktop, or video game applications owned or controlled by Licensee.

On-Demand Applications (Such as Print-on-Demand and Create-on-Demand Services).

This includes, but is not limited to, “print on demand”, “made to order”, or “download on demand” application.
Trademark and Copyright
Trademark: Licensed Asset may not be used as part of a trademark, service mark, design mark, trade-name, or similar use unless the Licensed Asset is not the predominant element of the End Use.

Contact Linseed Studio for a custom license if these rights are desired.
Copyright: Licensee may not claim the Licensed Asset (or a modification thereof) as its own copyrighted work (the original Licensed Asset must be disclaimed in any copyright registration).

Third Party Use Requires Separate License.
This License Agreement does not permit sublicensing except for the limited rights to sublicense described below in Section 7.2.
Limited Sublicensing Is Permitted.
Licensee may sublicense Licensee’s rights to third parties in only three situations:
to manufacture, market, or distribute a completed application End Use that uses the Licensed Asset (as expressly permitted herein) when done on behalf of Licensee, provided that the sublicense may only be granted on condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any other way and Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance. For example, Licensee may use distributors to manufacture or distribute a completed application;
to a service provider serving as Licensee’s subcontractor to provide services to Licensee provided that (i) Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance and (ii) Licensee has purchased a sufficient number of seats for the Licensed Asset Licensee (e.g., each individual person requires a license as stated above); and

Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance.
