Elsner+Flake Digital Library End User License Agreement for Font Software (EULA)

Elsner+Flake End User License Agreement for Font Software (EULA)
Preamble 
This End User License Agreement for Font Software (EULA) becomes a legally binding contract between the licensee and Veronika Elsner, Guenther Flake GbR (short: Elsner+Flake) when the licensee agrees to the Terms of Condition in an electronic delivery method or purchases the Font Software on a storage medium and opens the packaging containing the typefaces. If the licensee refuses to accept a contractual obligation through this license agreement, he is not permitted to access, use or download the Font Software. The licensee should thoroughly and carefully read through the complete EULA before agreeing to the conditions specified here.
License and Usage Rights 
1.1 The Font Software underlying this contractual agreement is the intellectual property of Elsner+Flake 
and/or its licensors. The term “Font Software” includes any and all updates, upgrades, expansions, 
modified versions and working copies of the Font Software to which the licensee, i.e. a natural person 
and legal person or, within the scope of a legal person, a subsidiary with majority share, has 
accordingly been granted a license. The Font Software remains and shall remain, now and in the future, 
the property of Elsner+Flake. 
1.2 Upon full payment of the agreed-upon usage fee, Elsner+Flake grants the licensee the non- 
exclusive, non-transferable right to simultaneously use or store the Font Software - provided said 
software has been released at time of delivery or upon payment made by the licensee - on a maximum 
of five (5) computers at one single geographical location stipulated by the licensee. 
In the event that extensions to the above-mentioned restriction become necessary, the licensee has to 
purchase an extended license. The licensee may install the Font Software on a single file server for use 
on a single local area network (LAN) only when the use of such Font Software is limited to the 
workstations and printers that are part of the licensed unit of which the server is part. The Font 
Software may not be installed or used on a server that can be accessed via the internet or other external network system (a system other than LAN) by workstations which are not part of a licensed unit. If the Font Software is intended to be used for commercial purposes, each individual license permits one additional usage (installation) on a personal home or portable computer. For the exclusive purpose of data backup, additional backup copies of the Font Software can be made. 
1.3 Transferring the license to a third party is essentially not permitted. For the exclusive purpose of 
outputting certain files, the licensee is permitted to transfer a copy of the Font Software which is used 
for creating the pertinent file to a commercial printer or another service company. In the event of any 
text modification, the service company is required to possess its own license. The licensee has to 
inform the commercial printer/service company about the content of this EULA. 
1.4 Embedding of the Font Software into electronic documents or internet pages is only permitted 
under the absolute assurance that the recipient cannot use the Font Software to edit or create a new 
document (read-only). It must be ensured that the Font Software cannot be fully or partially extracted 
from said documents. 
1.5 The licensee may electronically distribute Font Software embedded in a "Personal or Internal 
Business Use" document only when the Font Software embedded in such document is in a static graphic 
image (for example, a “gif”) or an embedded electronic document, and is distributed in a secure format 
that permits only the viewing and printing (and not the editing, altering, enhancing, or modifying) of 
such static graphic image or embedded document. The licensee may not embed Font Software in a 
Commercial Product without a separate written license from Elsner+Flake, and the licensee may not 
embed Font Software in an electronic document or data file for any reason other than his own Personal 
or Internal Business Use. 
1.6 If the licensee intends to edit or modify a document containing the embedded Font Software, a 
request must be made to Elsner+Flake. Elsner+Flake will then conclude a expansion/embedding license agreement for said purpose. This expansion/embedding license agreement is subject to an additional fee.
Exclusion of Other Usage 
2.1 Subject to the provisions in sub-sections 1.3 of this agreement, selling, lending or otherwise 
transferring the Font Software to a third party or parties is strictly prohibited. In addition, transferring 
the Font Software as a component or sub-component of other products, e.g. electronic documents or 
sublicenses, to a third party or parties is also strictly prohibited. 
2.2 Subject to the provisions in sub-sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this agreement, the following is prohibited: 
modifying the Font Software, merging it with other software programs, decompiling it, using modules 
from said software for one’s own developments or using technical solutions contained in the Font 
Software for purposes other than operation on the licensee’s own computers. 
2.3 Exceptions to subsection 2.2 are only permitted provided they are essential to obtaining the 
necessary information for establishing interoperability of the software with other programs, and 
provided this information is neither published nor accessible in any other form and if the licensee is 
unable to obtain said information from Elsner+Flake or its authorized distributors or appointed agents. 
In this case, the licensee shall inform Elsner+Flake in writing as to which portions of the software the 
licensee is decompiling. 
2.4 Modifying the Font Software is prohibited, even in the event that it is necessary for fulfilling 
personal design requirements. Specifically, it is prohibited to change or modify the Font/Trademark 
Names used as identifying tags in the Font Software in any form or manner. If such changes or 
modifications become necessary, prior written consent has to be obtained from Elsner+Flake.
Warranty and Liability 
3.1 Upon receipt of the Font Software by the licensee, Elsner+Flake grants a 90-day warranty 
guaranteeing that the Font Software is essentially free from material defect. To make a warranty claim, 
the licensee has to return the Font Software, including a copy of the sales receipt within the 90-day 
warranty period to the sales and distribution partner from which the licensee obtained it. Elsner+Flake 
will correct substantial malfunctions occurring during this warranty period provided that such 
malfunctions are reproducible and licensee gives immediate notice and sufficient description of such 
malfunctions to Elsner+Flake. Such corrections will generally be incorporated into new revisions of the 
Font-Software or, until the release of such new revisions, into temporary versions, at Elsner+Flake’s 
discretion. The correction may also be achieved by delivery of new versions of the Font-Software (i.e. 
versions with additional functionality and/or enhanced performance) in which case the warranty does 
not cover such additional functionality and performance. In the event that licensee should need new or 
modified hardware for the operation of such new versions, he/she may only return the Font-Software and his/her money will be refunded. 
3.2 The foregoing states the entire liability and warranty of Elsner+Flake or its local distributor, and any 
claims in excess thereof, e.g. for idle time, shortfall of production, waste of material and any other 
direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages are limited to actions of Elsner+Flake caused by 
gross negligence or intent.
General 
4.1 The license granted hereunder shall automatically terminate, if licensee fails to comply with the 
terms and conditions hereof.
4.2 Upon termination of this EULA, licensee 
agrees to either return or to destroy and refrain from using the Font-Software, the media, copies and/ 
or any modified or merged portions thereof. 
4.3 Licensee agrees to inform his/her employees or any other person having access to the Font-Software and copies thereof, at your premises of the terms and conditions of this EULA and to ensure that they shall strictly abide by these terms and conditions.
