END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT — APP / E-BOOK
The End-User License known as the “App / eBook License” permits the embedding of the Font in a mobile application or electronic book (eBook) intended for download and use on mobile devices, tablets or e-readers, subject to the terms below.
Article I — Preamble: common provisions to all End-User License Agreements entered into with COLORTYPE SARL
Section I.01 — General provisions
This Agreement governs the use of the typefaces (the “Font(s)” or the “Font Software”) supplied by Colortype SARL, trading under the commercial name Babelfont, with registered office at 43 rue du Moulin Vert, 75014 Paris (the “Licensor” or “Seller”).
This Agreement applies to all digital Font files presented on babelfont.com. None of these Fonts are sold; they are licensed to the end user under the terms of this Agreement.
The purchase and use by the purchaser (hereinafter the “End User”) of a License for the Fonts are subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
By paying for, downloading, installing and/or using the digital Fonts governed by this Agreement, the End User acknowledges that they have read and accept the terms of this Agreement.
Section I.02 — Rights reserved by the Licensor
The Fonts are protected by copyright. Colortype SARL is the exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights in the Fonts, including copyrights and trademark rights. This License grants only limited rights of use; no proprietary title is transferred to the purchaser. Any unauthorised use or infringement of those rights is prohibited and will render the purchaser contractually liable; the purchaser shall indemnify Colortype SARL in respect of any such infringement.
This License is non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide and granted for an indefinite duration, subject to compliance with its terms.
Article II — Rights granted to the End User under the App / eBook License
Section II.01 — Permitted uses under the App / eBook License
Under this License the purchaser is authorised to the following uses:
a. Embedding in an application or eBook: to embed or include the Font in a mobile application or an electronic book (eBook) that is intended to be downloaded and used on mobile devices, tablets or e-readers. This includes use in user interface (UI) elements, menus, headings, body text and any other static or embedded elements.
b. Distribution via digital stores: to distribute the application or eBook on digital platforms such as the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Kindle, Kobo or equivalent, provided that the Font is embedded in a secure manner that prevents independent extraction.
c. Single title / single application scope: the License covers a single app or a single eBook title, including subsequent content or feature updates released under the same title across multiple platforms (e.g., iOS, Android). NOTE: a separate licence is required for each distinct application or eBook title.
Section II.02 — Restrictions under the App / eBook License
Without limitation, under this License the End User is not authorised to:
a. Unauthorised redistribution or transfer: redistribute, resell, assign or transfer the Font to third parties, whether free of charge or for consideration, except as embedded within the specific application or eBook covered by the License. Any file provided to third parties must be rasterised, flattened or embedded in a non-editable format (e.g., PDF, PNG, JPG).
b. Multiple-title use: use the Font across multiple distinct applications or eBook titles without purchasing a separate licence for each title or published version.
c. Use in other environments: use the Font in environments not covered by this licence, including (without limitation):
- websites or dynamic web interfaces;
- video or motion-design content;
- printed products or software installed on servers;
- SaaS platforms or online tools.
d. Unauthorised modification and derivatives: modify, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise create derivative Font software, except with Colortype SARL’s prior written consent.
e. Styles and variants: the License covers only the font styles (weights and variants) expressly included in your purchase. Any additional variants (e.g., italic, bold, condensed) require an additional licence.
Section II.03 — Interpretative clarifications and points of attention
The following clarifications apply to interpretation of this Agreement:
a. Duration: This App / eBook License is granted for an indefinite period so long as the terms of the License are complied with.
b. Single title coverage: the App / eBook licence applies to a single titled work or application, including updates published under the same title across multiple platforms. A major redesign or a change of title may require a new licence.
c. Security obligation: the Font must be embedded in the application or eBook in a secure manner that prevents extraction, copying or independent re-use by end users.
d. Obligations of external providers: any external developer, designer or contractor working on the project must delete all Font files at the end of their engagement and may not use the Font on other projects or for other clients.
e. Permitted formats: only standard publication and packaging formats (APK, ePub, interactive PDF, etc.) are authorised. Integration via app-builders or multi-user creation platforms requires a specific licence.
f. If in doubt / hybrid uses: for hybrid uses (e.g. an app connected to a server, a personalization platform) the End User should contact Babelfont to determine the appropriate licence.
Article III — End-User obligations
The End User shall take all appropriate measures to prevent any unauthorised access to the licensed Font files (or any copy thereof) delivered under this End-User License.
The End User shall inform its employees and any persons with access to the Font files of their obligation to comply strictly with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. Breach of any provision hereof may give rise to termination by the Licensor.
Article IV — Termination
This License remains in force until terminated. Colortype SARL reserves the right to issue a notice of termination in case of non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Termination shall take effect thirty (30) days after the issuance of such notice.
In the event of termination, the End User shall return to Colortype SARL the digital Font files, their components and any related digital data, and shall destroy all copies in its possession within seven (7) days of the date of termination, thereby prohibiting any further use. At Colortype SARL’s request, the End User shall provide written confirmation that such destruction has taken place.
Notwithstanding termination, Colortype SARL expressly reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available (including injunctive relief and claims for damages).
Upon termination, the End User must permanently delete all copies of the Font files and deliver a written statement certifying such deletion.

All risk as to the quality and performance of the digital Font rests with the End User.

Any implied warranty required by applicable law is limited to a period of thirty (30) days (see the clause on returns and exchanges). The End User accepts that no other warranties apply after the aforementioned period.
Article VI — Returns and exchanges
Fonts may be returned or exchanged only if defective and accompanied by valid proof of purchase within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase.
