Manic Type End User License
By using, purchasing, downloading, or installing the Fonts, you agree to the terms of this license agreement between you (the licensee) and Manic Type. Upon full payment, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual right to use the Fonts as described. All other rights are reserved. This agreement takes effect upon download or use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Fonts.
Definitions
Licensee Size: The total number of people (full-time, part-time, or temporary) working for your organization.
Designer: Any entity (such as a design agency, studio, or individual designer) providing services to the Licensee involving use of the Fonts.
Subcontractor: Any third party using the Fonts on behalf of the Licensee. If the Designer and Licensee are the same entity, the Designer is not a Subcontractor. Otherwise, they are.
License Scope
A Commercial license permits use of the Fonts within your organization. Fonts are provided in otf (OpenType cff), woff, and woff2 formats. Alternative formats may be available upon request at Manic Type’s discretion. Unless otherwise specified, you may install the Fonts on any number of devices within your organization, use them on any websites you own, and embed them in static documents (such as PDFs), eBooks, digital products, applications, and other media produced by your organization. For websites, the Fonts may only be served using the CSS @font-face rule in woff or woff2 formats (otf is not permitted for web use). The license cost is based on Licensee Size. If your organization grows, your license remains valid provided the Licensee Size was accurately stated at purchase.
Purchase by Designer
A Designer may purchase a Commercial license on behalf of the Licensee if: the Licensee and Licensee Size are correctly specified at checkout; the Licensee has read and agreed to this Agreement; and the Licensee has authorized the Designer to complete the purchase. The Designer may not charge the Licensee more than the actual license cost.
Subcontractors
A Commercial license permits any number of Subcontractors to use the Fonts on behalf of the Licensee, provided they agree to this Agreement. You may provide the Fonts to Subcontractors for this purpose. If a Subcontractor ceases work for the Licensee, they must delete all copies of the Fonts. Subcontractors may not use the Fonts for themselves or any other party. Unless specifically permitted by Manic Type, a Subcontractor may not be a subsidiary, parent, or affiliate of the Licensee.
Demo License
A Demo Font license permits use of Demo versions of the Fonts (identified by ‘Demo’ in the filename or font data) for preview and evaluation only. Demo Fonts are available only in otf format. You may install them on any number of devices and use them for testing, evaluation, or noncommercial educational purposes (including student work, provided it is not monetized or performed for a third party). Demo Fonts may not be used on public websites, applications, or other software products.

Legal
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Canada. It constitutes the entire agreement between you and Manic Type, superseding any prior discussions or agreements. No amendment, modification, or waiver is valid unless in writing and signed by Manic Type. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder remains valid. Failure to enforce any provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. Section titles are for convenience only.
