Terms That Define How You Can Use Our Fonts in Your Projects — From Print to Web and Beyond

Studio Muhittin Güneş
Licensing and Legal Information

This document was last updated on June, 2025. Version 1.01

1. Introduction

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legally binding agreement between you (the licensee) and Studio Muhittin Güneş. By purchasing and downloading the font software, you agree to the terms outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the fonts.

2. Licensing Model

Licensing is based on the size of your company or organization—specifically the number of employees. You are responsible for selecting the correct tier at the time of purchase. If your team expands significantly, you must upgrade your license accordingly.

2a. License Duration

All licenses are perpetual and do not expire. However, you may be required to upgrade your license if your use exceeds the original scope—such as increased website traffic, new domains, or additional distribution platforms.

2b. Upgrades

All licensed users will receive free updates to the font files as long as the license remains valid.

2c. Font Updates

You must not modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, or decompile. Please contact us for modifications or additional glyphs on existing retail typefaces.

3. License Types

The following license categories are designed to cover different usage contexts, from commercial and professional work to student, academic, cultural, and non-profit projects. Each license type defines the permitted scope of use and should be selected according to the nature of the project and the License Owner.

3a. Commercial License

The Commercial License covers the use of the fonts in commercial, professional, client-based, and revenue-generating projects. This includes use by companies, studios, agencies, freelancers, brands, organizations, and individuals creating work for business, marketing, publishing, identity, product, digital, or promotional purposes.

The license is granted according to the selected license type and the declared company size of the License Owner. Unless otherwise stated, the fonts may be used only within the rights, formats, platforms, and scope covered by the purchased license.

3b. Cultural / Nonprofit License

The Cultural / Non-profit License covers the use of the fonts by cultural, educational, charitable, community-based, artistic, and non-profit organizations or initiatives. This may include museums, galleries, foundations, independent cultural projects, festivals, archives, educational programs, and similar non-commercial activities.

This license is intended for projects that are not primarily commercial or profit-driven. It does not cover corporate branding, commercial advertising, paid client work, or use by for-profit companies. If the project is connected to a commercial entity or later becomes commercial in nature, the license must be upgraded to the appropriate Commercial License.

3c. Student / Academic License

The Student License is intended for students, academic individuals, and educational users. It supports personal study, coursework, school projects, research, portfolio work, non-commercial academic use, and self-initiated commercial work created independently by the student.

It is especially suited for projects where the student is the main creator and initiator, including personal products, independent releases, small self-published work, or commercial experiments. For client projects, commissioned work, company use, or work made for brands, organizations, or businesses, the license should be upgraded to the appropriate Commercial License. A valid student or academic status may be required.

4. Grant of License

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the font software in accordance with your selected license type. The font remains the intellectual property of Studio Muhittin Güneş.

5. Permitted Usage

You may:

Use the font in personal and commercial projects. Convert text into static outlines or vector paths. Embed webfonts (WOFF) for websites as allowed by the license. Create printed materials and branding assets. Use fonts in videos and animations (as per license type). Use fonts to design logos, wordmarks, and trademarks (if licensed).

6. Restrictions

You may not:

Modify, adapt, or reverse-engineer the font files. Add, remove, or rename glyphs. Share, sublicense, or resell the font files. Upload the font to online font generators or platforms. Provide font files to third-party vendors without a valid license. Use the font in products where the characters themselves are the product (e.g., alphabet-based art prints or merch).

7. Client Projects

If purchasing on behalf of a client, the license must be assigned to the client by informing Studio Muhittin Güneş. You may not retain rights to the font unless you're part of the client's internal team.

8. Third-Party Services

Vendors (e.g., printers, motion designers, developers) must have their own license unless they’re working under your direct supervision and do not retain the font after project delivery.

9. Embedded Use & Custom Licensing

You may embed fonts in static, non-editable PDF documents for viewing and printing purposes only, as long as the use aligns with your license type. Embedding fonts in interactive, editable, or redistributable documents requires an App License or a custom agreement.

10. Support & Refunds

We provide technical support for 30 days after purchase.

Refunds are only granted in case of unresolved technical issues within 14 days. No refunds for subjective issues (e.g., style preference) once the font is downloaded.

11. Intellectual Property

The font software is protected by international copyright law. All rights, including design and code, remain with Studio Muhittin Güneş. Purchasing a license gives you usage rights, not ownership.

12. Termination

Failure to comply with this agreement will result in license termination. Upon termination, you must delete all font files and cease all usage. Legal action may be taken for intentional violations.

13. Governing Law

This EULA is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Istanbul.

14. Fonts in Use

Studio Muhittin Güneş may reference or display projects that use the Font Software as part of its portfolio or communications, including on its website, social media, publications, lectures, or similar contexts.

Only projects that are already public may be shown, using publicly available images or materials provided by the Licensee. When possible, project authors or collaborators will be credited.

If the Licensee prefers a project not to be referenced, a written request must be submitted before publication.

Trial Font License Agreement
Studio Muhittin Güneş
Licensing and Legal Information

This document was last updated on June, 2025.

1. Trials

This license grants limited rights to use Trial versions of the fonts (“Trial Fonts”) strictly for testing and demonstration purposes. These fonts are intended to help you assess their suitability before making a purchase and are provided in OpenType (.otf) format. Trial Fonts are labeled accordingly in their file names and internal metadata.

You may use the Trial Fonts only for internal tasks such as draft designs, mockups, or presentation materials. Any public or commercial use—including client work, published designs, or websites—is not permitted without a full commercial license.

The license is valid for use by a single individual. Installation on multiple devices is allowed as long as the fonts remain accessible only to the licensed user. Sharing the fonts with others is prohibited.

Use in non-commercial, self-initiated work (e.g., personal or student projects) is allowed, provided the work is not commissioned or intended for any client or organization. You may publish such work on platforms like social media if both the typeface name and the foundry are clearly credited.
