General Terms and Conditions for the Purchase of Licenses (“GTC”)

I. Definitions / Validity and amendment of the GTC

1. Jan Fromm, Type & Graphic Design, Müggelseedamm 70, 12587 Berlin (“Jan Fromm”) designs fonts and sells them in the form of digital font software (“Fonts”). The necessary licenses for the Fonts can be purchased via the online shop integrated into the website https://janfromm.de or by individual agreement with Jan Fromm by means of a license agreement.

2. The purchase and use of Fonts are subject to these GTC in conjunction with the enduser license agreement for the use of Fonts (“EULA”).

3. The “Customer” is any entrepreneur or consumer who places the order and is the contractual partner of Jan Fromm. The Customer is a consumer insofar as the purpose of the ordered deliveries and services cannot be predominantly attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. In contrast, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding the contract, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

4. The Customer may purchase the license themselves or place the order on behalf of a third party (e.g., a client). In this case, the third party becomes the sole licensee and is bound by the EULA.

5. The GTC shall be deemed agreed upon when the order is sent by the Customer, unless the Customer objects to them immediately after becoming aware of them. They shall also apply if the Customer uses general terms and conditions that contain provisions that conflict with or deviate from the GTC set out here. Exceptions to this require clear written confirmation from Jan Fromm. Any counter-confirmation by the Customer with reference to their general terms and conditions is hereby expressly rejected.

6. Jan Fromm reserves the right to amend the GTC for objective reasons (e.g., changes in law or case law, changes in economic conditions or the business model). The Customer will be notified of any such changes in writing before they come into effect. If the Customer does not object in writing within six weeks of notification, the changes shall be deemed accepted.

II. Conclusion of Usage Agreement/ Provision of the Fonts

1. The Fonts offered by Jan Fromm, their scope of use, and the respective prices are listed on the website.

2. The ordering of fonts via the website is initiated by clicking on one of the “Buy” buttons. It is not necessary to create a Customer account.

2.1. The Customer can select the Font(s) and the scope of use and place them in their shopping cart for purchase without obligation (“Add to cart”). The Customer can view and change the contents of the shopping cart at any time by clicking on the shopping cart icon. The order process can be canceled at any time.

2.2. To continue with the order, the Customer must provide their name and email address.

2.3. The Customer has the option of purchasing the license for a third party, who thereby becomes the sole licensee. In this case, the full name and complete address of the third party must be provided.

2.4. By clicking on the “Checkout” button, the Customer is prompted to enter the relevant payment information, depending on the selected payment method.

2.5. All information must be correct and truthful and must be updated by the Customer immediately if the information changes.

2.6. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the email address provided when placing the order is free of errors, has been configured correctly (e.g., with regard to spam filters) and that their email account has the necessary free storage space.

2.7. By clicking on the “Pay” button, the Customer makes a binding offer to order the Fonts in the shopping cart at the price displayed (“Offer to conclude a Usage Agreement”). In doing so, the Customer accepts the validity of these GTC and the EULA.

2.8. Jan Fromm accepts the offer immediately after by sending an email to the email address provided by the Customer (“Order Confirmation”), and the license agreement is concluded.

3. The order can also be placed by contacting Jan Fromm individually and negotiating with him (e.g. by telephone or email). In this case, too, the Usage Agreement is only concluded upon Order Confirmation by Jan Fromm.

4. Upon Order Confirmation, the Customer will receive the purchased Fonts via a temporary link for a period of 30 days for download (“Provision”). There are no delivery costs.

5. With the Order Confirmation, the content of the Agreement (consisting of the order overview/invoice, GTC/EULA and Order Confirmation) will be sent to the Customer on a permanent data carrier (email or paper printout) (“Agreement Confirmation”). The content of the Agreement will be stored in compliance with data protection regulations.

6. The Customer can also view and download these GTC and the EULA on the website both before and after placing an order.

III. Rights of use

1. The Customer acknowledges that the Fonts, including all copies, are subject to copyright protection. Jan Fromm remains the exclusive owner of all copyrights, licenses, trademarks, property rights, and other rights.

2. By ordering the Fonts, the Customer or, if specified by the Customer, the third party acquires the simple right to use the Fonts to the extent selected. The specific rights of use are determined by the EULA.

3. Jan Fromm would be very grateful to the Customer/licensee if they would mention Jan Fromm and the name of the Font in the imprint or colophon of all publications and, if possible, provide a link. There is no obligation to do so unless agreed in an individual contract.
