APP LICENSE This is a License under the Leksen Design Base License Agreement (the “Agreement”). Terms used in this License have the meaning given to them in the Agreement and in the Appendix below.

  1. In consideration of the payment of the Fees, and subject to the limitations below, we license you to use the Font and its related Software to embed the Font as outline data to display text in the Licensed App for distribution in view and print form only. Use of the Font and Software for the purpose of developing the Licensed App is permitted, provided that where any third party is involved in that development, the third party enters into an appropriate agreement with Leksen Design to license such use.
  2. This License covers a single App, namely the Licensed App, only. A separate license from Leksen Design is required for use of the Font or its related Software in relation to any App other than the Licensed App.
  3. You must control, or be entitled to use the Font and Software in relation to, the Licensed App.
  4. The Licensed App must use, access and present the Font and its Software exclusively within the context of the Licensed App itself, and must not be available or accessible to the operating system of any device (including the operating system of the device upon which the Licensed App appears). For example, but without limitation, if the Licensed App calls the Font from an external device, such as a website or server, then you must obtain a separate appropriate License from us that permits this.
  5. Any process, technique or device such as hot-linking, re-serving or re-directing that allows access to and/or use of the Font or Software by any person or entity which is not licensed by Leksen Design is strictly prohibited.
  6. You must take all reasonable steps to provide security against unlicensed use of or access to the Font and Software.
  7. This License: a. does not permit embedding or making available of a Font or Software – in the Licensed App or otherwise – in such a way that any part of the Font’s outline, or the Software, may be extracted or edited; b. save as expressly provided in this License, does not permit editable use of the Font, such as in templates or for use in the creation of customizable designs or products; c. does not permit the use of the Font in connection with embedding in, or the generation or distribution of, files (such as, without limitation, PDF and EPUB files); and d. does not permit the use of the Font for artworking, that is the generation of works that include any image of the Font other than within the confines of the Licensed App itself; e. does not permit the Licensed App to make the Font available to anything (whether tangible or intangible, hardware or software) extraneous to the Licensed App (such as, without limitation, the operating system of any device); f. does not permit you to use or allow the use of any Font so that it may be accessed through a server or similar to edit, render or display content – a separate License is required to permit this.

By way of example, if your Web Domain is www.example.com, and www.example.co.uk is registered to you and is used by you for the same business www.example.com, then www.example.co.uk is a Related Domain; and m) “Web Domain” is the Domain identified in your order for Leksen Design Products n) “App” is a mobile application that (i) is installed on or downloaded to a person’s mobile device or tablet; and (ii) is built to run natively on mobile operating systems, including but not limited to iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile; o) “Licensed App” is the App identified in your order for Leksen Design Products
