Licensing
What is P22's licensing policy?
When purchasing a P22 font, you are purchasing a personal license to use the font. The basic P22 license is intended to accommodate personal use for up to 5 devices in one location and is intended as in the course of everyday correspondence and document writing, or in the design of self-promotion pieces like business cards, newsletters and brochures. Your basic P22 licensing agreement does not cover commercial and large scale uses, use on merchandise, branding and packaging, logo design, video game development, or OEM licensing. Use for the web is limited to certain file formats (see below).

Branding and Packaging
If you are buying a P22 font to use in a large scale campaign such as in the course of entertainment promotion, advertising, corporate identity design, product packaging, store signage or in any way that requires the multi media (television, internet, print or other) output of the font(s), an additional license may be required.

If you are creating PDF documents, an additional license is not required if the document is set to 'Print and Preview'. If you are sending the files to a printer for the one time printing, an additional license is not required. If you are embedding the font data in any way that allows the font to be extracted, edited and therefore transferred in any way, an additional license is required to account for each recipient of the document and font file(s).

End User License Agreement
Thank you for purchasing P22 fonts. To ensure that P22 continues to bring you
more exciting, historically relevant type, please take the time to read
this agreement. It might not be the most fascinating read, but its very
important and may answer many questions that you may have. Please register
your fonts and remember that free software is an exception, not the rule.
1. Notice to user. You (End User) have not purchased
the ownership rights to this font, but rather a license to use this font
on a limited basis. Purchasing a license for any P22 font or font distributed
by P22 (International House of Fonts, Sherwood Collection and other) via
download, or e-mail, constitutes an agreement between P22 type foundry,
Inc (“P22”) and the end user of the enclosed typefaces (“software”)
that the terms and conditions of this contract will be followed. If the
fonts are purchased in hard copy format (CD-ROM or floppy disk), removing
the media from its protective sleeve (paper pouch, DVD cases, or other)
in which the media is contained constitutes the same agreement. If you
do not agree with the terms of this agreement return the complete package
with the CD or floppy disk sleeve unopened to the place of purchase. If
downloaded or received by e-mail, all files must be deleted. A signed
affidavit may be required to receive a refund.
2. Grant of License. The basic P22 distributed software license
is limited for use on a total of 5 devices at one site for use on a single
platform. A device is defined as a computer, printer, character generator,
server or any other machine that uses font data to rasterize letterforms.
A site is defined as one physical location. Platform refers to operating
systems designated as 'Macintosh', 'Windows' or other.
A laptop may be one of the devices in the basic license of 5 devices as
long as the laptop is associated primarily with the licensed location.
Simply working offsite on a laptop is permissible in the basic license
and is regarded as an extension of the “site”. A laptop
that transports work from one distinct network to another distinct network
will require additional licensing. Work transported from one distinct
network to another distinct network, via a laptop requires each network
to be licensed properly.
Additional licensing is also required if you are installing the font(s)
on more than 5 devices (Site License), or a LAN/WAN Server with more than
4 devices, or, if you and/or additional users will have access to the
font(s) at more than one location (Corporate License), or, if your printer/service
bureau is installing the fonts for job output for more than one-time use
(Service Bureau). Upon completion of job, service bureau must delete the
font software or purchase their own license.

the original software to another party provided All materials, including
back-up copies are transferred and that the recipient agrees to the licensing
terms and conditions contained in this agreement, and all copies are removed
from the originating end user's (your) devices.
3.
Fair Use. The basic P22 license is intended to accommodate personal
use as in the course of everyday correspondence and document writing,
or in the design of self-promotion pieces like business cards, newsletters
and brochures. Other uses designated as “professional” or
“commercial” may require additional licensing.
Professional use is work performed by, not limited to, freelance designers,
small design firms and corporate advertising firms that incorporate P22
fonts within a design for a client or self-promotion. Most alphanumeric
fonts are allowable without additional licensing provided that the Grant
of License guidelines are met. However, the use of illustrative elements
(also known as “dingbats”, “extras”,
“ornaments”) within logo design requires an additional one-time
license. If you have purchased the font(s) license for use on a large
scale campaign such as in the course of entertainment promotion, advertising,
corporate identity design, product packaging, store signage or in any
way that requires the multi media (television, internet, print or other)
output of the font(s), an additional license may be required. This applies
to in-house or client based work. Call P22 at 716 885 4490 to receive
your large scale campaign quote.
A royalty based Commercial license is required when P22 font software
is used to create a product sold for profit. If you have purchased the
font(s) license for use as the principle design element to create a product
to be sold such as, not limited to, rubberstamps, refrigerator magnets,
or if the usage of the font adds value (value added) to a product to be
sold such as wrist watches, house numbers, stencil kits, decals, digital
art (screensavers, 3-D models, or other computer application), please
call P22 at 716 885 4490 if you have any questions, for permission or
to receive your commercial license quote or visit: http://www.p22.com/comlicensing.html

The font may be modified if properly licensed for non-commercial or in-house
use. The modified font software may not be sold or distributed.
4.
Font Embedding. The basic P22 license allows for the embedding
of P22 fonts only if the document created is set to “Print
and Preview”. If P22 fonts can be extracted, edited and therefore
transferred in any way, an additional license is required to account for
each recipient of the document and font file(s)
