For the purposes of this agreement the Lanston Type Co. Ltd. may be referred to as either the Lanston Type Co. Ltd. or simply as "Lanston". The purchaser is the "End User Licensee", or "Licensee", or "You".

Rights

The Lanston Type Co. Ltd. reserves all rights to intellectual property contained within. Rights written, common law rights, unwritten and the possible evolution of future rights yet to be invented and/or rights for uses in yet to be invented technologies are all reserved by the Lanston Type Co. Ltd. and/or Gerald Giampa or their assignees. Upon purchase Lanston Type Co. Ltd. grants you (The Licensee) a non-exclusive license to use the font software within the terms, conditions and restrictions of this agreement.

End User License Terms

1) You may install the font(s) on up to five (5) CPU's. If it is your intention to use the font(s) on a network you can install and use the font(s) on a single file server for use on a single local area network, either for: (a) Permanent installation onto a hard disk or other storage device of up to five (5) CPU's; OR (b) Use of the font(s) over a local area network is permitted provided the font(s) are not used on more than five (5) CPU's.

2) The licensee is permitted to make backup copies of the font(s), provided the backup copies are not installed or used on any computer.

3) The licensee is permitted to take a copy of the font(s) used in a particular file to a commercial printer, publisher or service bureau, if the commercial printer, publisher or service bureau have purchased a license to use that particular font(s)software. (READ EXEMPTION (4)) Securely Embedded Fonts

4) Lanston fonts may be encapsulated within a document and shipped freely to other users as long as the "font security is enabled and embedded in the document". If there is a font subsets function in the application that function must be used for added protection. (READ EXEMPTION (a)) (a) EXEMPTION: If Lanston Fonts are to be embedded within "internal documents" on a licensed site permission is granted to "allow modification to those documents" as long as it falls within the limits of the license granted for the "number of computers". (b) EXTENDED EXEMPTIONS can be obtained if given permission from Lanston Type Co. Ltd. Terms For Extension To A Web Site License

5) In exchange for this extension of the font license Lanston Type Co. Ltd. must be mentioned by notice in the Web Site as the owner of the copyright and the trademark. Lanston Font(s) may be used on a Web Site with the following conditions and that all other conditions still apply. (a) The Web site must make mention that Lanston Type Co. Ltd. is the owner of the copyright and the trademark. The Lanston Type Co. Ltd. font(s) are to be named by their correct trademark name so as not to be confused with others in use. (b) Lanston Fonts used on a Web Site are still subject to the terms of this agreement. (c) The nature of the Web is harder to police than other uses. For that reason Lanston permits using its fonts on Web Sites as long as they are used in a graphic such as GIF or JPEG files. This use is limited to subsets such as seen in headlines or for e. g. logos but "not to be used with more than a 30% character set showing of the font(s)". Distribution of Lanston font software in graphics must name Lanston Type Co. Ltd. as the owner of the copyright of the Lanston font software used to create the graphic in the Web Site. Lanston Fonts including those in non-font formats must not be used for distribution of graphics such as "Clip Art, e.g. ornaments or initials". Such use would require additional licensing arrangements and possibly a royalty agreement. AND /OR (d) Lanston font(s) are permitted to be used on the Web but must be securely embedded and protected by "quality font security protection software for the Web". At the time of writing we are aware of two web font software protection programs, Bitstream® and Microsoft® and we have been told that Netscape® offers similar software solutions. From earlier reviews we are led to believe that Bitstream®'s "WebFont Maker®" offers the best protection. We are able to provide that software to the customer. We require that the Web Site administrator, designer or whomever is responsible for their use send to Lanston the Web Site address so Lanston may review font security from time to time. Improper Hosting of Font Software on Servers

6) It is illegal to improperly host Lanston font software on Servers including Web Servers. Proper security measures are required. It is illegal for employees to download Lanston font software onto their own home or portable computers without following the license contract. It is illegal to download personal Lanston font software onto institutional or commercial computer systems without following the license contract. Improper Hosting of Font Software Web Servers

7) It is illegal to improperly host Lanston font software on Web Servers. The licensee must embed the font, "FONT SUBSETS ONLY WHENEVER POSSIBLE" securely and as "READ ONLY" documents unless a special license is issued by Lanston. Custom Font Conversion

8) Custom conversion of the Lanston font software to other formats is permitted but still subject to the end user license agreement and therefore must comply with the license and the permitted number of computers. For example if Lanston font(s) are converted from Macintosh to be installed on PC's then the total computer installations must not exceed the agreement. Custom converted Lanston font software is permitted for business or personal use but is not permitted to be distributed or transferred for any purpose other than the balance of this agreement. The converted font(s) will not entitle the user to claim any form of ownership to the Lanston font(s) software or copyright, trademarks or any ancillary rights. All rights are retained by the Lanston Type Co. Ltd. or its assignees.

9) We are prepared to accept that a business user may have Lanston font(s) installed on his or her office computer and also installed on a portable computer and/or home computer. This is permitted as long as Lanston font software is not used simultaneously on all computers.
