-
You are purchasing the rights, meaning a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual, and worldwide license, to use the Fonts as specified in this agreement. You are not purchasing the copyright to the design or any other part of the Fonts. The copyright lies with its original designer and will remain so, even if Grilli Type customized the Fonts.
You can use the fonts globally and forever, but you can’t transfer the license to your client or anyone else. -
You, the purchaser, are acting on behalf of and are legally permitted to bind the end user, to accept this EULA as it is, i.e. without any alterations and/or amendments. You are not allowed to ask the end user any other price than the one offered by Grilli Type. By purchasing licensing for a third party you are not allowed to use the respective software yourself.

We’re defining some commonly used terms. -

“Embed” shall mean the use of Fonts in applications, meaning the embedding of the Font files through various means (depending on the operating system and programming platform) into the application or an application package. The Fonts are used by said application to style dynamic or static text inside those applications.

Embedding really means what you’d expect it to mean. You can’t embed fonts into physical devices. -
