LICENSING TERMS
arka Type Foundry EULA (End User License Agreement)
Version from July 2026

MEET THE CAST
We / us / our - arka Type Foundry.
License Owner / you - the brand, company or person named on the invoice. The License Owner holds the licence and is responsible for how the fonts are used.
Fonts - the font files we deliver, the designs in them, and everything they contain.
Brand - one commercial identity: one name, one trading entity, one set of marks. A parent company and a subsidiary that trade under different names are different brands. A sub-brand that trades under the parent name is not.

CONTRACT AND GRANT OF RIGHTS
This contract governs all use of our fonts. If you do anything with our fonts, you agree to it.
Once we receive full payment, we grant the License Owner a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable licence to use the fonts for the purposes this contract allows. We deliver the fonts after payment clears.
We keep ownership of the fonts and of everything in them. Any right we do not give you here, or in a separate written agreement, stays with us.

DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
Licence fees are one-time fees. There are no subscription fees. The licence you bought is named on your invoice.
Fonts are digital content. We deliver them by download or by e-mail once payment clears.
All sales are final. We do not give refunds. When you buy, you ask us to deliver the files immediately and you accept that you lose any statutory right of withdrawal from the moment we send them.
Check the trial files before you buy. If a file does not work after delivery, write to info@arkaburo.com and we will fix it.

FIRST DESIGNER
The designer or studio that first uses the fonts to make things for the License Owner — the First Designer — is covered by the License Owner’s licence.
If the License Owner wants another third party to use the fonts, that third party needs its own licence.

EACH CLIENT NEEDS THEIR OWN LICENCE
If a designer uses our fonts for several clients, each client needs its own licence. A studio licence does not travel between clients.

TYPES OF LICENCES
There are five licences you can buy directly:
  • LOGO
  • DESKTOP
  • PRINT
  • WEB
  • SOCIAL MEDIA
There are two bundled licences you buy by writing to us:
  • IDENTITY
  • UNLIMITED
Fonts get used in many ways and in many kinds of media. If your case does not fit any of these, write to info@arkaburo.com and we will work it out.

LOGO LICENCE
With a logo licence you can use the fonts to make a logo or wordmark for one brand. For another brand, buy another licence.
You can use that logo everywhere: in print, on packaging, on social media, in video, on signage.
You can convert the letterforms to outlines and edit them when you draw the logo.
The logo licence covers the logo only. It does not cover setting other text in the fonts.

DESKTOP LICENCE
With a desktop licence you can install the fonts on the computers of the License Owner and its employees, and use them to make digital and printed material for one brand.
Printed output is capped at 100 units. A unit is one physical copy or one physical object. If you go over 100, buy a print licence.
The desktop licence also covers documents, presentations, portfolios and internal material.
Ideal for a start-up or a small business. For another brand, buy another licence.

PRINT LICENCE
With a print licence you can use the fonts to make printed material for one brand with no cap on the number of units: books, packaging, posters, signage, products, advertising.
The print licence includes desktop use for the same brand, so you do not need to buy both.
For another brand, buy another licence.

WEB LICENCE
With a web licence you can use the fonts in WOFF and WOFF2 format on one domain, including its subdomains, and in e-mail newsletters.
There is no cap on traffic.
You can self-host and subset the files. You cannot serve desktop formats such as OTF or TTF on the web.
For another domain, buy another web licence.
If you want to use the fonts in Figma, Sketch or any other desktop or browser design tool, you need a desktop licence. The web licence does not cover design work.

SOCIAL MEDIA LICENCE
With a social media licence you can use the fonts to make assets for one brand on social media channels: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and the rest.
This covers still assets and video assets published on those channels.

VIDEO AND MOTION
We no longer sell a separate video licence. Which licence you need depends on where the video runs.
  • Social media channels: social media licence.
  • Your own website, web banners, e-mail: web licence.
  • Broadcast, cinema, streaming services, in-store screens, digital billboards, conference screens, exhibitions: write to info@arkaburo.com. These are quoted case by case.
An animated logo is covered by the logo licence, but you still need the licence for the channel the animation runs on.

IDENTITY LICENCE
An identity licence lets you use the fonts to build the identity of one brand and use that identity across all licence types for that brand: logo, desktop, print, web, social media.
Customisation is possible. We can cut a version of the fonts for the brand.
To buy an identity licence, write to info@arkaburo.com.

UNLIMITED LICENCE
An unlimited licence lets you use the font files across all licence types with no cap: desktop, print, web, social media, logo, plus apps, games and products.
If monitoring your media and topping up licences is something you would rather not deal with, this is the one.
To buy an unlimited licence, write to info@arkaburo.com.

UPGRADES
You can upgrade a licence at any time. We deduct what you already paid from the price of the new licence.
An upgrade replaces the licence you held. This contract then applies in the version current on the date of the upgrade.

RESTRICTIONS
Here is what you cannot do.
  • Convert the fonts to other formats, except where this contract allows it: subsetting for the web, and converting to outlines when you draw a logo.
  • Modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the fonts.
  • Draw new fonts based on the designs in the fonts.
  • Rename the fonts.
  • Embed the fonts in software, apps, games, devices or documents in a way that lets anyone extract or install them. Embedding for viewing and printing only, such as a press-ready PDF, is fine.
  • Share the fonts with third parties, including clients, contractors and suppliers who do not hold a licence. You can send outlined artwork, or a subset served under your own web licence.
  • Put the fonts on public servers or in public repositories.
  • Use the fonts, or the designs in them, to train, fine-tune or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine learning systems. We reserve our rights against text and data mining under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790.
  • Use the fonts to promote violence, hatred or discrimination against any group.
  • Use the fonts for a political party, campaign or referendum without our written permission.

WE ENJOY SHARING HOW OUR FONTS GET USED
We get excited when people make good things with our fonts and we like to show them. We may post your work on social media, on our website, in books, in magazines and in case studies, and let third parties do the same. We credit you.
If you do not want this, tell us and we will not.

TAXES
You pay any taxes that fall due in your country, including withholding taxes. They are not deducted from what you owe us.

TERMINATION
If you breach this contract, we will tell you. If you do not fix the breach within 14 days, your rights end and you must stop using the fonts.
If the breach cannot be fixed, your rights end immediately.
You also cover the costs we incur, including reasonable legal and investigation fees.

WARRANTIES, LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
We provide the fonts as-is, without express or implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, performance or non-infringement.
You confirm that you have the right to enter into this contract, and that your use of the fonts will not break the law or infringe anyone’s rights.
You will indemnify and hold us harmless against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense arising from your breach of this contract.
Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages.
Our total liability under this contract is capped at the licence fee you paid us.
We make the fonts with current tools and we test them. We cannot promise they will work on every legacy system or with every new technology.
Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death, personal injury, wilful misconduct or gross negligence. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights stand.
Write to info@arkaburo.com if you have a problem with the fonts.

MISCELLANEOUS
This agreement, together with the terms on our invoices, is the whole agreement between us. It replaces anything said or agreed before. It can only be changed in writing by us. The terms of your purchase order do not change it.
If you upgrade, the current version of this contract replaces the version you agreed to when you first bought.
If part of this contract turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stands, and the unenforceable part is read as closely as possible to what it was meant to do.
If we waive a right once, that does not mean we waive it again.

GOVERNING LAW
This agreement is governed by the laws of Georgia. The courts of Tbilisi, Georgia, have exclusive jurisdiction.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Nor do conflict of laws rules.
If you are a consumer, this clause does not remove the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

THAT’S ALL!
