DESIGNER/AGENCY/STUDIO (Hereafter DESIGNER) = The entity that provides the design service to the License OWNER.

1. License Agreement

By downloading and/or installing the Font Software, you confirm to have read and understood the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to expressly agree with them without reservation.  Font software shall mean the software developed and produced by G2 which, when used with the appropriate hardware and software, allows the generation of the typographic characters (hereafter “Font(s)”) available on G2’s website. 

Acquiring a License from G2 grants the License Owner the right to use specified Font(s) as part of designed content produced and published under the name of, or on the behalf of, the License Owner, and on specified types of media. The design work might be produced by the License Owner or a Designer on behalf of the License Owner. By obtaining a License, the License Owner does not purchase the copyright of the design or any other part of the Font(s), other than the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Font(s) for the use cases specified in this agreement, according to the License Owner’s provided specifications. All other use cases other than the specified ones require an additional License. 

1.1 Buying and Owning a License 

G2 believes that the Font License should be owned and paid by the legal entity for which the Font(s) are being used. This means a Designer may purchase a Typeface License on behalf of a Client, but the Client has to be the owner of that License. With this in mind, a Designer can be the facilitator, the purchaser, or the user of a Font License. If however Designer and Client are the same legal entity, a Designer can purchase and own a Font License for themselves. 

A Designer can not purchase a Font License on behalf of one client and use it for another one. Different entities commissioning a Designer must hold their own, separate Font Licenses according to the specific use cases. 
As a License Owner, your Font License covers your own company and one initial Subcontractor. 

Font Licenses are only valid within the organization of the License Owner and one initial Subcontractor working for the License Owner. If the License Owner employs any additional third parties or stops working with the initial Subcontractor to continue with a different Subcontractor, a separate Subcontractors Add-on is necessary to cover the use of the Font(s) by those parties during their working relationship. In this case a Subcontractors Add-on has to be requested via email. 

1.2. Pricing 

All Font License purchased in the G2 online shop come with a one-time fee. All Font Licenses are priced based on the same metric: the company size of the License Owner. In turn this means that the price is not based on how many people actually access the Font files.

The License Sizes are defined as follows: 

  • 1-3 employees
  • 4-10 employees 
  • 11-25 employees 
  • 26-50 employees 
  • 51-100 employees
  • 101-250 employees
  • 251-500 employees 
  • 501-750 employees
  • 751-1000 employees 

If the 751-1000 License size is exceeded a customized quote has to be requested via email. 

1.3. Upgrading Licenses 

All Font Licenses purchased in the G2 online shop have to be upgraded once the company size or the number of followers exceed the previously selected License Size. If the 751-1000 License size is exceeded a customized quote has to be requested via email. If an Unlimited License was purchased no upgrades are needed.
