Our EULA specifies what you can and can’t do with our fonts. No worries, we provide a normal people translation.
As you might know, you can’t really buy a typeface itself — actually you can only purchase the rights to use the font files through a license. An EULA (End User License Agreement) states what you are permitted to do with this concrete license. We know nobody want’s to read walls of legal texts so we tried to keep it as simple and short as possible. Also there’s a summary in normal people language – you’re welcome!
Version: 17th July 2025
Introduction
When you buy and use the fonts, you agree to follow the rules. You can use them after paying, but you don’t own them — La Bolde Vita still does.
This End User License Agreement (hereinafter “Agreement”) is a contract between Fabian Dornhecker (hereinafter “La Bolde Vita”) and you (hereinafter “Licensee”), the entity or organisation on whose behalf the fonts are used, and whose name is specified during the checkout or sale process).
By purchasing, downloading, installing or otherwise using the fonts (computer software containing representations of typeface designs) of La Bolde Vita, you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement.
Once full payment has been received, La Bolde Vita grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the fonts as described in this Agreement. You agree that all rights not granted to you by this Agreement are expressly reserved by La Bolde Vita.
Definitions
Company size means how many people work at your company. A designer is someone like a freelancer or agency using the fonts for you. If they’re not part of your company, they count as a subcontractor.
“Company Size” is the number of people, including part-time and full-time employees and temporary staff, working for the Licensee.
“Designer” means anyone providing services to the Licensee – such as a freelancer, design agency, or any other business using the fonts.
“Subcontractor” is any third party using the fonts on behalf of the Licensee. If the Designer is not part of the Licensee’s organisation, they count as a Subcontractor.
Licensing
You can use the fonts, but La Bolde Vita still owns them. You can only use them in the way your license allows. For websites, use only the .woff2 format, never .otf.
By licensing, you acquire the rights to non-exclusive use of the fonts within the scope set out here. All fonts offered and their design are and remain the protected intellectual property of La Bolde Vita. All license types (Commercial, Non-Profit, Student, Trial and Custom) allow you to use the fonts within your organization with the selected Company Size and Range of Use.
The fonts are provided in .otf (OpenType) and .woff2 formats as well as .ttf for variable fonts. Alternative formats can be provided on request. You may only use the fonts on websites using the css @font-face rule and in .woff2 format. The use of fonts in .otf format on the web is not permitted.
3.1
Subcontractors
If you have a Commercial license, your subcontractors can use the fonts for your work. They must follow the same rules and delete the fonts when they’re done. They can’t use the fonts for other jobs or clients.
A Commercial license (including Non-Profit and Custom Licenses) permits any number of Subcontractors to use the fonts, in accordance with this Agreement, on behalf of the Licensee. You are permitted to send copies of the fonts to Subcontractors for this purpose. You must ensure that any Subcontractor has read and agreed to the terms of this Agreement before receiving the Fonts.
If a Subcontractor stops working for the Licensee, they must take reasonable steps to ensure destruction or removal of all copies of the fonts in their possession. At no time is any Subcontractor permitted to use the fonts on behalf of themselves or any party other than the Licensee.
Unless a specific exception is granted by La Bolde Vita, a Subcontractor must not be a subsidiary, parent organisation, or other affiliate of the Licensee.
3.2
Purchase for your Client
A designer can buy the font license for their client, but the client’s info must be correct and the client must agree to the rules. The designer can’t charge the client more than what they paid.
A Designer can purchase a Commercial license on behalf of the Licensee (their client), provided that: the information of the Licensee and their number of employees are correctly specified during the checkout process; the Licensee has read and agreed to the terms of this Agreement; and the Licensee has expressly permitted the Designer to complete the purchase on their behalf. The Designer is not permitted to quote or invoice the Licensee for any price other than the amount they actually paid for the license.
3.3
Company Size
The price depends on how many employees the company has. If the company grows, it must upgrade the license. You can’t downgrade or get a refund. Fonts can be used on unlimited company devices, websites and documents.
The cost of a license is determined based on the number of employees and the appropriate license tier must be selected accordingly. Should the Licensee outgrow its licensed size over six consecutive months, the Licensee must upgrade their license to the correct size. Licenses can be upgraded, but not downgraded. La Bolde Vita will not refund any cost should the Licensee’s number of employee’s decrease below its license tier. To upgrade your license please get in contact with La Bolde Vita directly.
Except as otherwise specified by this Agreement, you may install the fonts on any number of devices within your organisation, use the fonts on any number of websites owned and controlled by your organisation and embed the fonts in static documents (such as PDFs) produced by your organisation.
Range of Use
There are two usage packages: Basic and Extended.
All licenses can be purchased in two different packages with defined range of usage. If you want to use the fonts for any case not listed here, please contact us for a custom license.
4.1
Basic
The Basic package lets you use the fonts in print (books, posters, packaging, etc.), on your websites, and on your social media accounts without limits.
The Basic package covers the minimum usage for print, web and social media. La Bolde Vita grants the licensee the right to use the font:
● Print
… in an unlimited number of print products such as books, brochures, posters, packaging or signage.
● Web
… on any number of websites owned and controlled by your organisation.
● Social Media
… on any number of your owned and company related social media accounts and content.
4.2
Extended
The Extended package includes everything in Basic. It also lets you use the fonts in your own logos, one app, one server, on branded products you sell, and in films or streaming content.
The Extended package covers all usage permitted in the Basic package and also allows use for logos/wordmarks, applications, server, retail products and movies/streaming. La Bolde Vita grants the licensee the right to use the font:
● Logo/Wordmark
… in an unlimited number of logos/wordmarks for your own brand, including internal sub-brands or campaigns, excluding logos for third-party clients, subsidiaries, or external brand partnerships. Although these logos may be trademarked, this license does not grant you ownership of the font or typeface design, and you may not claim exclusive rights to the design of the font used in such logos.
● Applications
… for one specific application of the Licensee. An application is defined as one discrete digital product such as native mobile or desktop apps, games, eBooks and similar regardless of platform. Versions or updates of the same application are included, separate product lines are not. Using the fonts for multiple applications requires the purchase of additional licenses through hi@laboldevita.com.
● Server
… on one specific server. Server use is defined as embedding of the fonts on a server system or that can be accessed externally and is used for the dynamic generation of documents and files of any type. Using the fonts for multiple servers requires the purchase of additional licenses through hi@laboldevita.com.
● Retail Products
… for commercial or promotional products intended for resale. The products must be directly attributable to the licensee's brand, excluding products for third-parties, subsidiaries, or external brands.
● Movie/Streaming
… for video or film works intended for broadcasting, streaming, theatre or other commercial screenings.
Type of Licenses
The license you need depends on who you are and how you’ll use the fonts.
The type of license depends on the licensee and the intended use of the fonts. If you are unsure which type of license is suitable for you, please contact us directly.
5.1
Commercial License
This is the standard license for most people like designers, agencies and brands. It covers normal public and commercial use within your company size and package.
Our Commercial License is the standard for most licensees. It is generally suitable for designers, agencies and brands of all kinds and allows commercial and public use of the fonts within the selected company size and range of use.
5.2
Custom License
If your company has over 200 employees or needs special usage not covered in Basic or Extended, you’ll need a Custom License. It’s made just for you and must be agreed in writing.
A Custom License is required for any company or organisation with more than 200 employees (including permanent, temporary, and part-time staff) or a required scope of use that is not included in our Basic or Extended packages. Custom licenses may contain additional conditions regarding duration, scope and future coverage. Unless otherwise agreed, the terms of this EULA also apply to custom licenses.
Custom licenses must be agreed upon mutually and in writing. You must provide the name of the end client, the number of employees, and a detailed description of intended use and scope before we can issue a quote or license. This helps ensure the terms are appropriate for your needs.
5.3
Non-Profit License
Non-profits and charities get 50% off. This license gives the same rights as a Commercial License.
A Non-Profit License is offered for registered non-profit and charity organizations and grants a discount of 50%. The license is equivalent to the Commercial License and offers the same rights to use the fonts.
The Non-Profit License can be selected in the checkout process and needs no further validation. However, we may ask you to confirm your non-profit status later on. If you are unsure whether you are eligible for this type of license, please contact us directly.
5.4
Student License
Students get 75% off. Fonts can only be used for personal or school projects — not for clients, jobs, or anything sold. After graduation, you can still use them for non-commercial work.
A Student License is offered for active students with a discount of 75%. The fonts can be used in personal projects and student work only. Personal use refers to non-commercial projects not made for clients, employers or public sale. If the student wants to use the fonts in a commercial project, the client needs to purchase a corresponding license.
The Student License can be selected in the checkout process and needs no further validation. However, we may ask you to confirm your student status later. After graduation, fonts may still be used for personal, non-commercial projects. Commercial or client work requires a commercial license.
5.5
Trial License
Trial fonts are for testing only. You can use them in public or commercial work. They’re full versions but marked as “Trial” and can’t be shared or used outside your team.
A Trial Font license permits you to use testing versions of the fonts (called “Trial Fonts”) for preview and evaluation purposes. Our Trial Fonts are fully functional and come with the complete character set and all OpenType features. Trial Fonts are marked with the suffix ‘Trial’ included in the filename and/or font data, and are available only in .otf (OpenType) format.
You may install Trial Fonts on any number of devices within your organisation. You are permitted to use Trial Fonts for testing, evaluation, and pitching purposes. You may not use Trial Fonts in any public or commercial work, in any medium. The distribution of the font files is not permitted, the provision of the trial fonts is reserved exclusively for La Bolde Vita.
General Restrictions
Keep the fonts safe and don’t share them publicly or with anyone without a license. You must not change the fonts, give them away, or use them in hardware without permission. Don’t use them in harmful, political, or NFT/crypto-related content without approval. Using the fonts to train AI is strictly forbidden.
You must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the fonts are not accessible to unlicensed third parties or to the general public. The fonts must not be uploaded onto online storage platforms (such as GitHub or cloud storage providers) where they would be accessible to unlicensed third parties.
You are not permitted to:
● Decompile, modify, reverse-engineer, reformat, alter, edit, or create derivative works of the fonts or engage any third party to do so without prior written permission from La Bolde Vita
● Distribute (share, rent, lend, gift, sell, sublicense, etc.) the fonts or any copy of it to any unlicensed third party
● Embed the fonts within hardware products that are sold or used by the Licensee without a proper Custom License covering that specific use case
● Transfer this Agreement or any of your rights hereunder to any third party without the prior written permission of La Bolde Vita
● Use the fonts in any violent, hateful, racist, discriminatory or inhumane context
● Use the fonts in any explicitly political, military or religious context, or any context relating to cryptocurrency or the sale of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), without the prior written consent of La Bolde Vita
● Using the fonts, or any images or representations of them, to develop , adjust or train any artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models is strictly prohibited in all cases
Violations of this clause will result in immediate termination of the license and may result in additional damages.
Terms
The license lasts forever unless you break the rules. If that happens, we can end your license and charge you for unlicensed use.
This Agreement is effective in perpetuity. However, if you breach any of its terms, La Bolde Vita reserves the right to charge you the full retail value for any unlicensed use of the fonts and/or to terminate this license. In the event of company acquisition, merger or dissolution, this license does not automatically transfer to another entity without written approval from La Bolde Vita.
Warranty
There’s no guarantee the fonts will work for every purpose or on older software. If there’s a problem, we’ll try to fix it within 30 days. If not, you may get a refund. We’re not responsible for any damages caused by using the fonts. Our total liability is limited to what you paid. If you misuse the fonts, you’re responsible for any resulting problems.
La Bolde Vita makes no warranties, express or implied, as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise. The offered fonts are designed for compatibility with modern layout programs. LBV does not guarantee support and full functionality for older software or operating systems. If you encounter an issue or problem with purchased fonts, La Bolde Vita will make a good faith effort to provide a fix or replacement within 30 days of being notified. If the issue cannot be reasonably remedied, La Bolde Vita may at their discretion offer to refund you, at which point this Agreement will immediately terminate.
La Bolde Vita shall in no event be liable to you or any other third party for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damages arising out of the use or inability to use the fonts, even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Under no circumstances shall La Bolde Vita’s liability exceed the cost of the license you purchased. You agree to indemnify and hold La Bolde Vita harmless from and against any claims or damage which may result from your misuse of the fonts or breach of this Agreement.
Updates
Font updates (like fixes or improvements) may be offered for free, but you have to request or download them yourself. Big changes or new font versions may need a new license.
From time to time, La Bolde Vita may release updates or improvements to the fonts (e.g. bug fixes, feature enhancements, or technical adjustments). Where applicable, these updates will be made available to existing Licensees at no additional cost. However, updates are not delivered automatically – you may need to request or download the latest version manually. Major version changes or expanded font families may require a new license.
Legal
The rules can change, and updates will be shown clearly. This agreement replaces all previous ones and follows German law. Legal issues go through Leipzig. If any part is invalid, the rest still applies. If anything is unclear or you need special rights, contact us via email.
This License Agreement is subject to change without notice, but La Bolde Vita will clearly indicate any changes to customers. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between La Bolde Vita and you, and supersedes any prior discussions or negotiations, whether verbal or in writing. This Agreement is subject to the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany. The place of jurisdiction in disputes is Leipzig.
No amendment, modification or waiver will be valid or enforceable unless confirmed and signed by La Bolde Vita.
If any part of this Agreement is found void or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the rest of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforce-able according to its terms. La Bolde Vita’s failure or election not to enforce a provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of its right to do so later.
The headings and section titles within this Agreement are for convenience and shall not affect or alter the meaning or construction of any terms or provisions of the Agreement.
In the event of uncertainties or ambiguities regarding the scope of the granted use of fonts or the request for extended or exclusive rights of use, which are not covered by this license, La Bolde Vita is available at hi@laboldevita.com.
