License

End-user licence agreement.

Version 3.0.0 · last updated 18 May 2026

1. The parties

This agreement is between you (the “Licensee”) and Nicky Laatz Creations Ltd (UK) (registered at PO Box 172, Launceston, PL150BN, United Kingdom) , the “Licensor”. Where this agreement refers to “we” or “us”, it means the Licensor; “you” means the Licensee.

2. Grant of licence

Subject to your payment of the applicable fee and your continued compliance with this agreement, the Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Software, in object-code form only, on Apple Mac computers running a compatible version of macOS, for your own personal or internal business use.

The licence is granted on a per-seat basis. Each seat is a separate licence key, granted to one user, and each key permits installation and concurrent activation on up to two Macs (designed to cover a single user’s laptop and desktop). Your purchase entitles you to the number of seats you bought at checkout (default 1; up to 99), with one separate key issued per seat. A 99-seat purchase accordingly carries 99 keys and a maximum of 198 concurrent activations in total. You may move an activation between Macs by de-activating it on the old machine before activating it on the new one.

3. Permitted uses

You may:

  • install and use the Software on the number of Macs covered by your purchased seats;
  • make one backup copy of the Software for archival purposes;
  • use the Software to catalogue, inspect, tag, and manage your own font files and the projects in which they appear;
  • generate and store metadata derived from your own fonts and projects within the Software.

4. Restrictions

You may not:

  • copy, distribute, sub-license, rent, lease, lend, sell, or otherwise transfer the Software or your licence key, in whole or in part;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the Software’s source code, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by mandatory law;
  • modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
  • remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, branding, or licence-key prompts in the Software;
  • use the Software to develop a competing product;
  • circumvent or attempt to circumvent the Software’s seat-count, licence-key, or activation mechanisms;
  • use the Software in a manner that breaches applicable law, infringes third-party rights, or breaches the licence terms of the fonts you catalogue with it.

5. Intellectual property

The Software, including its source code, object code, design, user interface, documentation, branding, and any updates, remains the sole and exclusive property of the Licensor and its licensors. This agreement does not transfer ownership of the Software to you; it grants only the limited licence described above. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You retain ownership of your own font files, project data, tags, and any other content you create with the Software. The Licensor claims no rights in your content.

6. Licence key & activation

Your licence key is the credential that proves your right to use the Software. Treat it like a password: keep it confidential, and do not share it with anyone outside your licensed seats. The Licensor may verify each activation against a hardware identifier prefix to enforce the seat count; the Software will not function without successful activation.

If your licence key is lost or compromised, contact us at support@fontcurator.com from the email address you used to buy. We will re-issue or revoke as appropriate.

7. Updates & new versions

The Licensor may release patches, bug-fixes, and feature updates for the version of the Software you have licensed. Such updates are made available at the Licensor’s discretion and are covered by this agreement at no additional cost. The Licensor is under no obligation to provide updates indefinitely.

New major versions of the Software (sold under a different primary version number) are separate products and may require the purchase of an upgrade licence. Where the Licensor offers an upgrade path, it will be made available to existing customers at the discounted price advertised at the time of release.

8. Term & termination

This agreement takes effect when you first install or use the Software and continues for as long as your Mac continues to support the version of the Software you have licensed, unless terminated earlier under this clause. The Licensor does not commit to issuing OS-compatibility patches indefinitely; if a future macOS release stops running the licensed version, you may purchase an upgrade to a newer major version (subject to clause 7) or continue using the licensed version on the macOS releases it already supports.

The Licensor may terminate this agreement and revoke your licence with immediate effect if you materially breach it, including by reverse-engineering the Software, sharing your licence key beyond your purchased seats, or attempting to circumvent the activation mechanism. On termination, you must cease all use of the Software, uninstall it from every Mac on which it is activated, and destroy any copies in your possession.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. The Licensor specifically disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. The Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with any specific font, project, or workflow.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits any warranty, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable consumer-protection law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor’s total cumulative liability under or in connection with this agreement — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute, or otherwise — is limited to the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

The Licensor is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or costs of substitute goods or services, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by the Licensor’s negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Your indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Licensor harmless from any third-party claim arising out of your use of the Software in breach of this agreement, including any claim that your use of a font catalogued by the Software infringes that font’s own licence terms.

12. Export and sanctions

You confirm that you are not located in, and you will not use or export the Software to, any country that is subject to comprehensive trade sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the United States, and you will not use the Software in breach of any applicable export-control or sanctions law.

13. Governing law & jurisdiction

This agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it (including non-contractual disputes), is governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute.

14. Other terms

  • Entire agreement. This agreement, together with our privacy notice and your order confirmation, is the whole agreement between you and the Licensor in relation to the Software, and replaces any prior understanding between us on the same subject.
  • Severability. If any clause of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the agreement continues in force.
  • Waiver. A failure or delay by the Licensor in enforcing a right under this agreement is not a waiver of that right.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under this agreement without the Licensor’s prior written consent. The Licensor may assign its rights under this agreement on prior written notice.
  • Notices. Notices to the Licensor under this agreement should be sent to support@fontcurator.com or by post to Nicky Laatz Creations Ltd (UK), PO Box 172, Launceston, PL150BN, United Kingdom.
  • Changes to these terms. The Licensor may update this agreement from time to time by publishing the revised version at this URL with an updated version number and last-updated date. Your continued use of the Software after the update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

15. How to contact us

For licence questions or to exercise a right under this agreement, email support@fontcurator.com from the address you used to buy the Software. Postal correspondence may be sent to Nicky Laatz Creations Ltd (UK), PO Box 172, Launceston, PL150BN, United Kingdom.
