Font Licensing Agreement

12 Replies

Since I never really had a formal Licensing Agreement, the terms of usage are outlined below.

Muraknockout Media+Design Font Licensing Agreement

Free Fonts

Free fonts are absolutely free to use in any type of work, be it personal or commercial. Usage may include, but is not limited to: Graphic Design, Logo Type, Website Embedding, Advertisements, Apparel Graphics, Usage in Television or Films, Usage in Mobile Applications, Usage in Computer Programs, etc.

In essence, you may use the font, personally or commercially, as you choose.

You may not, however, redistribute the font on any other websites than the website it was downloaded from (the only sites allowed to distribute my fonts are dafont.com and myfonts.com), redistribute the font for monetary gain or as part of a font collection, modify the font, or claim ownership of the font.

These terms can be changed any time and without notice.

Licensing “Free For Personal Use” Fonts

“Free for Personal Use” means that these fonts cannot be used commercially in any capacity without licensing. In order to use the fonts commercially, you are asked to make a donation of any amount to my personal PayPal account, mgmuranaka -at- gmail.com. Any amount literally means any amount. It can be $1, $5, or $1,000,000 if you wish. Basically, donate what you can afford, or what the font is worth to you. I would not be offended if you were to donate just one penny, because that means that you find value in the font, and that using my font helped you in some way. Once the donation is made, you may use the font as if it were a free font, so you may do what you wish with it personally or commercially. For more information, read “Free Fonts” above.

Licensing the font does not give you the right to redistribute the font on any other websites than the website it was downloaded from (the only sites allowed to distribute my fonts are dafont.com and myfonts.com), redistribute the font for monetary gain or as part of a font collection, modify the font, or claim ownership of the font.

These terms can be changed any time and without notice.

If you have any other questions definitely feel free to contact me!

I do not make these fonts with the interest of monetary gain. I make them “free for personal use” because I feel that the the particular font took a bit more time and thought to create, and being that I live by freelancing, the donation is meant to offset the time that I put into creating the fonts.

These fonts come with no warranty, so you are using them as you downloaded them. If you do, however, find any major flaws in the fonts, definitely contact me without hesitation and I will do my best to fix them in a timely manner. If you have any requests or suggestions, please contact me for that as well.

Thank you very much for using my fonts!

    To Whom It May Concern,

    I am making an informational brochure, postcard, and envelope for a nonprofit organization and would like to request the use of your font “Sessions.” The materials will not be sold or used for profit in any way. I am unsure if this would constitute as commercial use and require a donation, but wanted to make sure before downloading.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Ms. O’Shaughanessy

    Hey Michael,

    Love your Gorila font and would like to use it as our main corporate font for the logo and business cards etc and also in some of the website areas along with Arial for broader communications. Is this ok? What would be an acceptable donation?

    thanks very much

    Hey man, love your font. I would like to use it for my projects. These are borderline “commercial” projects, but would like to donate for the rights to use it. What is your paypal? And could I get an email or some form of “agreement” stating that you allowed me to use it?

    Thanks man!
