Licensing
Licensing for HAL Typefaces follows the model introduced by Dinamo in 2020. Basically, the value of a typeface is dependent on the size of the company that licenses it, measured by the number of its employees. The license owner is the client. This is the person or organisation commissioning the design work and acquiring the usage rights of the font for their company. The license owner is not the commissioned designer/design agency. Via trial fonts, HAL Typefaces permits the commissioned designer/design agency to test available typefaces free of charge, including the presentation, proposal, or pitch of a project to the client.

Types of Licenses 
HAL Typefaces offers the following licenses:

• Desktop/Print: Covers the installation of the font(s) on all designated devices to create printed and digital assets such as documents, merchandise, signage, portfolios and similar deliverables for one company.

• Web: Using the font(s) on one web domain, without limit in regard to the amount of web traffic. An additional, separate web license needs to be obtained for using the font(s) on another domain. Only the provided WOFF and WOFF2 files can be used, not desktop fonts like OTF.

• App/Game: This is for embedding the font(s) into one digital product, such as a mobile, desktop or web app or game. Using the font(s) for multiple apps or games requires the purchase of additional licenses.

• Video: Using the font(s) to create content that has animated or moving images for one company such as clips, reels, movies, ads, etc. Making videos for social media requires either a video or a social media license.

• Social Media: For creating design assets for one company to use on social media channels (such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.). Making videos for social media requires either a video or a social media license.

• Logo/Wordmark: This license allows the font(s) to be used to create a logo, logotype or wordmark for one company. Creating logos for further companies requires further licenses (one per company).

If the offered formats and/or license types are not sufficient, license extensions may be required. For instance, Unlimited Licenses can be arranged, which bundle all available licenses for a one-time-fee, without restrictions or company size limit. Please contact us for more information.

Third Party Sharing
If the license owner wishes to share font files with subcontractors or other third parties involved in the project, the desktop license can be extended for third party sharing in the check-out process. A third party is anyone not employed by the license owner, for example: freelancers, external designers, design agencies, PR agencies, producers, developers, printers, etc. (This excludes the client, hence a client does not qualify as a third party.)

Student Discount
A discounted license for students is available, please inquire via email. This license covers any sort of school projects, including assignments, self-initiated projects, or design commissioned by the school (i.e. promotional materials for open days, graduation shows, lectures, events, etc.). Students can also use the licensed typefaces on their personal websites and social media.

Refunds
All sales are final, non-returnable and non-refundable. HAL Typefaces are unable to offer a refund for incorrect font licence purchases. If a font file is defective, please notify via email within 30 days of purchase and a replacement will be provided.
