What’s all this licensing stuff about? I thought I was just buying fonts.
When you buy fonts, you’re not actually buying the fonts at all but rather the license to use the fonts on your computer. With every font or font family you purchase and download, the terms of that license (or EULA) are also downloaded with the fonts so you can read about any restricted uses for those fonts.
Read our entire license agreement to learn about all permitted and restricted uses for the fonts we offer.
How many computers can I install my new fonts on?
At Fontalicious, every font purchased is actually licensed to individuals rather computers, devices or locations. Each time you purchase fonts from us, you’ll always be required to define the total number of people (AKA end users) who will be using the fonts.
By default, when you add fonts to your shopping cart, most are licensed for up to 5 end users. You can easily change the number of end users at any time before you complete your purchase. Anytime after your purchase, you can also easily add more end users by simply logging-in to your account and upgrade this number at any time (additional licensing fees will be calculated and can be purchased at that time via your account)
When you install the fonts, make sure you’re only installing the fonts on the computers specific to each end user you’ve purchased a license for. Each individual end user may have the fonts installed on up to two computers they use (desktop and laptop computer for example) provided they’re the only user of those computers.
Can I use these fonts in a logo?
Yes! Logo usage is allowed under our default license agreement.
Can I use a recently purchased font in an App I’m creating for mobile devices (iOS, Android, Windows)?
By default, our license agreement does not allow you to embed the fonts, outlines from the font, or rasterized images created using the font in to any software including Apps without a license upgrade. We also understand most App developers are individuals and have priced our fonts for mobile Apps reasonably!
