Font Licensing Overview - (EULA)

This page provides an overview on how font software is licensed by FontMarketplace for your use. FontMarketplace uses the Monotype Imaging End User License Agreement (EULA) for all fonts sold on the site. This EULA defines how you can use the fonts and restrictions of use. For example, you are permitted to use the font on one (1) personal computer by default. To use the font on additional workstations simply change the quantity of Licensed Computers.

Read the FontMarketplace Font License.

Permitted Uses
You are permitted to install the font onto the number of personal computers for which you have purchased licenses. You can use the fonts to create and design documents, and embed the fonts into documents such as PDF files. Files with embedded fonts can be freely distributed and posted on websites as long as they are not sold (what we refer to as "Commercial Documents").

You can use the fonts to create & print out any kind of document, including documents you sell. This could be a publication, greeting card, scrapbook artwork or other printed documents. Again, the only restriction on commercial products is digital versions that contain a copy of the font data (see "Commercial Product License").

Prohibited Uses
The font files cannot be modified, posted to websites or further distributed without an extended license. Nor can the fonts be installed onto a file server or web server without an extended license (described below). Please read the Monotype Imaging End User License Agreement for complete description of the license grants.

Monotype Imaging offers a variety of extended use font licenses to meet the needs of its customers who want to use the fonts beyond the terms granted in the EULA:

Commercial Product License
This allows fonts to be embedded into documents that are sold, such as electronic books (EPUB files or PDF files that are sold commercially).

Multi-Workstation Font License
Simply enter the desired quantity of computers you want to install the fonts on when ordering, and the price will automatically be calculated. For more than 200 workstations please contact Monotype Imaging.

Enterprise-Wide Font License
Similar to Multi-Workstation Licenses, We can accommodate the needs of enterprises that want to install the fonts throughout their organization. If you want a price quote for a global font license, please view our Inquiry Form to contact us.

Web Fonts License
This allows fonts to be used with @font-face on websites. For more information visit our Web Fonts section.

Application Server Font License
This allows the fonts to be installed onto a server for use with an application that is accessed by an unlimited number of users. Two options are offered:
- Internal Use (i.e. an Intranet within an entity)
- External Use (i.e. for Internet-based applications)

Monotype Imaging can offer almost all of the fonts in our extensive catalog for use with server-based applications. We have a wide range of customers using fonts licensed from us, including websites that produce t-shirts, greeting cards, photo albums and more. We also have provided fonts to enterprises for server-based applications generating reports, PDF files, airline tickets, and many other ways. Please contact the Monotype Imaging Font Sales team for more information on server font licenses.

Hardware & Software Developer Font License
Monotype Imaging works with a variety of hardware and software developers who need to include fonts with their products. Monotype Imaging can license an existing font or create a custom font for a developer's product. Often developers require font modifications for character sets or to be tuned for a certain display environment.
