Introduction
The licensing for Laucke Siebein typefaces follows the model introduced by Dinamo Typefaces Berlin in 2020. In this model, the license holder is not the commissioned designer or design agency, but the person or organization commissioning the design work. The price of our fonts is based on the size (measured by the number of employees) of the company acquiring the license. Laucke Siebein Types allows the commissioned designer or design agency to test available fonts free of charge through trial versions – including for use in presentations, proposals, or pitches for a project to the client.

Perpetual license
All of our font licenses are perpetual. The license fees are one-time fees with no subscription fees.

Contract & Grant of Rights
This contract governs the use of our fonts. By using our fonts, you agree to the terms of this contract. As long as we have received full payment of all fees and the license holder has agreed to abide by the terms of this contract and be directly liable to us for doing so, we grant the license holder a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-assignable license to use the fonts for the purposes allowed by this contract. We will deliver the fonts once we have received full payment. The ownership of the fonts and all associated content remains with us. Any rights not explicitly granted in this contract are reserved.

Subcontractors
The license holder may allow third parties (e.g., other designers, developers, producers, agencies, etc.) to use the font on their behalf.

Each client needs their own license
If a designer is using our fonts for multiple clients, each of those clients needs to have their own license.

Types of licenses
Nowadays, communication mostly takes place cross-media. Therefore, Laucke Siebein Types offers only three types of licenses:
1 — Offline/Print/Logo, 2 — Online/Web/Video/Social Media, and 3 — Online/App/Game.

1 — Offline/Print/Logo
With a Offline/Print license you can install the fonts on all of your devices and use them to create printed and digital documents, objects, merchandise, signage, portfolios, and similar things for one brand.

2 — Online/Web/Video/Social Media
With a Online/Web/Video/Social Media license you can use the fonts to create design assets for one brand to use on social media channels (like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and TikTok). If you’re making video content for social media then you’ll also need to buy a video license. If you choose at least 1 domain, you can use the fonts in WOFF and WOFF2 format on one web domain with the @font-face CSS method and for e-mail newsletters. There’s no limit on the amount of web traffic, but if you want to use the fonts for another web domain you’ll have to buy another separate web license. You’re welcome to self-host and subset the fonts. You are not allowed to use desktop font formats (like OTF) on the web.

3 — Online/App/game license
With an Online/App/game license, you can embed the fonts into one app, which can be a game, desktop app, mobile app, web app, digital point of sale system, etc. Regional variants and versions for different platforms (like iOS and Android) are included. If you want to use the fonts for multiple apps or games you’ll need to buy additional licenses.

Non-profit & cultural institutions license
If the License Owner is a registered non-profit organization or a cultural institution (i.e., a museum, library, art gallery, artist, photographer, musician, independent record label, independent publisher, or independent fashion label), you can buy fonts with a non-profit & cultural institutions discount. This discount results in font prices equivalent to the organization size > Company less than 3 employees. If you’re a student, you can buy fonts with discount and use them for your personal projects (even commercial ones, like designing a t-shirt and building a website to sell it). After you finish your studies, you can keep using the fonts for personal projects that started when you were a student. If you want to use the fonts for a client project, your client needs to buy their own license. If you’re a teacher at an accredited educational institution, you can buy fonts with an Non-profit & cultural institutions license and use them for your non-commercial teaching materials and class projects.

Trial license
A trial license, which is free and includes a full character set, allows you to use our trial fonts to decide if you want to buy a license. If you’re a designer, you can also use trial fonts to pitch design directions to your clients.

Restrictions
Things you can’t do:
• Use the fonts in a political context without getting our permission
• Use the fonts to promote violence or discrimination
• Convert the fonts to different formats
• Modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the fonts
• Make new fonts based on the design that’s in the fonts
• Personalize font names in a way that violates someone else’s rights
• Embed the fonts in a way that end users can access them
• Give the fonts to anyone without a copy of this contract
• Put the fonts on public servers
• Put the fonts in public repositories

Font in use — We sharing how our fonts get used
We reserve the right to use works that feature our fonts for our own promotional purposes. This means, we might post it on social media, have it on our website, put it in books, magazines, lectures, case studies, etc., and let third parties (like design magazines) do the same. Always with crediting the designers.

Legal
If you breach this contract then all of your rights automatically end and you have to stop using the fonts immediately. In addition to any legal recourse we have, you’ll need to pay for any costs we incur, like legal fees and investigation costs.

Taxes
You are responsible for taxes that accrue in your country, including any withholding taxes. We won’t have to pay them and they won’t be deducted from your payments to us.

Warranties, representations, indemnification & liability
We are providing the fonts on an “as-is” basis, without any express or implied warranties or representations like warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, performance, non-infringement, etc. You warrant and represent that you have the right to enter into this contract and that your use of the fonts will not harm anyone, violate any law, or infringe on anyone’s rights. You will indemnify, defend and hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, parents, partners and licensees harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) that we or such parties may incur or be liable for arising out of any breach of your obligations, representations, or warranties in this agreement. Neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of this agreement. Our maximum liability will never be more than a refund of the fees we received from you under this agreement. We produce and test fonts thoroughly, but we can’t promise they’ll work perfectly with old systems, proprietary systems (e.g. Microsoft Windows), or cutting edge technologies. If you need the fonts modified to work in an environment that requires special or unusual engineering, we can charge an engineering fee. Please do send us an e-mail at type@studio-laucke-siebein.com if you’re having a problem.

Miscellaneous
This contract, together with terms and conditions contained on invoices we send to you, contains the entire agreement between us and overrides any prior agreements or discussions. It can only be modified or amended if we agree in writing. It cannot be modified or amended by the terms of a purchase order. If you are upgrading your license, this contract completely replaces the version you agreed to when you originally bought the license. If something in this contract turns out to be unenforceable, the rest remains and the unenforceable part will be replaced by the closest possible thing that is enforceable. If we waive a right or allow something once, that doesn’t mean we have to do it again. This contract is governed by German law with exclusive jurisdiction in Offenbach am Main, Germany. Any legal proceedings or disputes will take place in Offenbach am Main. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this contract. Nor do any conflict of law principles.
