Terms & Conditions

By placing an order on AvanType’s website and clicking the “buy” button, a buyer acknowledges that he has read all terms of this document, and he agrees to comply with AvanType conditions as defined below. This agreement clarifies, among other things, the “Product” rights qualifications for a Licensee in respect to Copyrights and Design Laws.

Products

Mostly the “Fonts”, which are digitally encoded files as machine readable; outline design of the typeface data as provided in a special format.

Format

TrueType® or OpenType®. OTF compatible with Apple Mac systems; TTF compatible with Microsoft Windows systems; WOFF, WOFF2 and EOT display formats for web browsers.

Creator

Habib Nabeeh Khoury is the creator and designer of the Fonts and he owns the copyrights of the Products.

Distributor

AvanType-USA is the sole distributor of fonts by Habib Khoury.

Customer

The Licensee that has acquired the rights to use the products of AvanType. A customer can be an individual, company, association or employer. The right of use and the commitment to this agreement apply to the Customer’s employees and to end-users related to the Licensee who have access to the Products.

Price

Payment for a license constitutes the right to use the relevant styles, weights and formats of the Products in accordance with the license ordered by the customer. Payment is not a purchase or a transfer of creator rights to the customer.

Copyrights

The design of the letter shapes, their digitization and programming, including the sketches, the process of creation and their vector structure, are copyright reserved to the Creator and are associated with the trademark “AvanType”. Any illegal use of a style or weight of a particular font is a violation of copyright law; where the font is marketed as part of a package, the violation applies to the whole package. Any breach of this agreement is considered a violation against both the creator and the distributor.

Workplace

The complex and the computers used by the customer at the same site, room, studio or office. The number of computers on which the customer installs the product in a particular work area defines the appropriate license type. The client may not install the product on a server or network (intranet), create a virtual work site shared by multiple locations, or share it in partnership with another customer. Installation on laptops counts within the number of systems permitted by each license type. (This term is not relevant to Web licenses.)

Single License

A license granted to one customer for non-exclusive use in one work location, where fonts can be installed on no more than 3 computer stations.

Multi User License

A license granted to one customer for non-exclusive use and installation of fonts on 4 or more computer stations, in one workplace.

Web & App License

A license granted to a website owner or an app developer for embedding fonts as live text on a website or inside an app. Each license is issued for a single domain or app. Customers who purchased a multi-user or single license are not entitled to use the fonts in a website or app; a separate license must be purchased for each website or app.

Exclusive License

Issued to customers interested in special orders of custom designed typefaces for their communication and corporate needs, and to customers interested in sole usage rights for typefaces of the “Exclusive Collection”, which are not and will not be sold to other customers under any non-exclusive license.

If a Licensee does not wish to be bound by these terms, he may not use the Products nor permit anyone else to use or install them.

The Customer undertakes to choose the license type suitable for him and to pay for the font packages he chooses; the receipt of payment constitutes the consideration for the licensed Product. The Creator or Distributor undertakes to supply the Products by email or by providing a download link within 12 hours of payment confirmation.

It is agreed in advance that the Customer or his employees are aware, prior to purchasing, of the font type, format and style chosen.

By receiving the Products, the Customer undertakes not to sell, rent, or change their name, identity, format, form, design or style, and not to give, reproduce, distribute or resell them. Transferring the Product from the Customer’s workplace to suppliers’ or clients’ locations is prohibited.

The Customer undertakes that after receipt of the Product (downloading to a computer or any other device) there is no return or cancellation of the transaction.

Any license issued by AvanType is granted to one customer only and does not allow sharing usage rights with another end-user or third party. The Customer has no right to give the Product or transfer the license to a third party.

The Customer agrees that the Product, its structure, computer programs, name and documentation are protected by copyright law. After purchase it is not allowed to sell, rent, lease, sublicense, modify, give, lend, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompose, disassemble, alter or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, nor to copy the documentation or reproduce or distribute the Product in whole or in part.

This Agreement does not grant any intellectual property rights in the Products or their associated trademarks.

The Product is provided “as is”. Any requirement to adapt the Product, or to add or change design elements or formats for certain systems or performance, is not within the scope of the service or the responsibility of the Creator; for such requests a separate price quotation is issued. There is no guarantee that the Products will not conflict with third-party products installed on the Customer’s system.

The Creator and the Distributor are exempt from any liability, direct or indirect, arising from the Customer’s use of the Product, including any claim regarding loss, dissatisfaction, delay, non-compliance or loss of a project. Full or partial compatibility with any software chosen by the Customer is not guaranteed.

The Products are provided without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied; AvanType specifically disclaims the warranties of fitness for a particular purpose and merchantability, and makes no representations regarding correctness, accuracy, reliability or currentness. The entire risk as to the Product’s performance is assumed by the Customer.

AvanType makes no warranties, express or implied, for a period beyond 14 days after delivery, and does not warrant that the Products are free from all errors and omissions. A Customer requiring greater protection or rights may notify AvanType and make additional payments in amounts to be agreed.

AvanType’s cumulative liability for any loss or damage relating to this agreement shall not exceed the purchase price paid for the license. AvanType will not be liable for incidental or consequential damages such as lost profits, lost data, or damages caused by abuse or misapplication of the Products.

A customer who acquired a license for one or more styles or weights of a font family or package is not authorised to use other styles or weights of the same family or the other fonts of a package.

The Customer and his employees agree that the font is the property of AvanType and carries the rights of the Creator. The Creator may periodically update, improve, add new formats, styles or weights; this does not grant the Customer a retroactive license to weights or styles added later, nor guarantee free version updates, which remain at the discretion of the distributor. The Creator and the Distributor are entitled to update the terms of this agreement from time to time.

Payment and refund

Your payment is charged at checkout to secure your spot in the Group-Sale campaign. If the minimum number of participants is not reached by the campaign end date, every participant is refunded in full, to the original payment method. Refunds are issued automatically after the campaign closes and normally appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer. No files are delivered unless the campaign succeeds.

Delivery on success

Once the minimum is reached and the campaign ends, your font files and licence are delivered to the email address used at checkout. Because these are digital goods delivered by download, the sale is final at that point and no refund is available, except where the files are defective or the law requires otherwise.

Campaign conditions

The Group-Sale price applies only during the campaign period and only if the minimum is reached. The campaign ends automatically at the stated end date and time (site time), or earlier if the maximum number of participants is reached. Purchases are limited to the maximum quantity shown on the product page. Prices are in US dollars; your bank may apply currency conversion or international card fees, which are outside our control.

Licence scope

A Group-Sale purchase grants the same rights as the equivalent standard licence: usage rights only, with no transfer of ownership, copyright, or any right to resell, share or redistribute the fonts. Licence type cannot be changed after delivery, so please choose the licence matching your intended use before purchasing. The End User License Agreement (EULA) supplied with the fonts applies in full.
