Can I share the font with a client or a supplier?

You can share fonts with third parties in three cases:

  • share with printers: with a Desktop license
  • share with web developers and agencies: with a Web license
  • share with other third parties: with a Third party license extension

Beside the exceptions set above, you cannot share the font for subsequent use by a third party. A license is issued to a given entity, and whoever wishes to access the font must purchase a license.

Sharing fonts is in breach of our EULA and expose you and your client to liability.

Can I share the fonts with a web agency?

We always require that the Web and App licenses be purchased by the end-user, which owns and controls the website or app.

You are the owner of the website

You can share the fonts with your developer or web agency for further embedding as a resource of the site. If those suppliers need to create assets such as static bitmap images, they need a Desktop license of their own.

You are a web agency / web developer

If you have purchased the font yourself, your license cannot be transferred for exploitation by your client, and you cannot share the fonts.
