The online store tomorrow.type.today distributes licenses according to a new Package model. We treat and protect the font not only as a font file, but also as a container of unique designs. This model implies the scale of use of the font and any use for the following: print, web, app, video, social networks, TV and logos. Different packages include different rights. For example, the Minimum license package does not include the right to use fonts in logos and for TV — this would be in breach of restrictions — however, the rights to print, web, app, social networks and video are in each license package with a single restriction — scale. Together with the rights, the user receives the entire set of font files necessary for working with (otf, ttf, woff, woff2, eot). The scale, in turn, tends to reflect the scale or size of the user, (the quantity of permitted electronic devices — ie: the number of employees on whose computers the font will be installed, the number of web page views, the number of applications, the number of followers on social networks, and so on), and/or the scale of the project, if we are talking about limited, one-time use — for example in an advertising campaign.
Logo use is covered by the Medium and Large license packages.
Yes, we only forbid the alteration or modification of the font file.
There are various options. Let’s imagine that there are six designers working in a studio. The studio’s website is visited by less than 125,000 unique users, and the rest of the studio’s parameters fall within the range of authorized use for the Medium license package. Let's also imagine that the studio is interested in working with the font software for other projects in the future, and the client is a big brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and a powerful social network presence. In this case, when the design studio delivers the project to the client, they will have to warn them about the need to purchase a license package, which in this example, will be Large. Another option: the design studio is not going to use the font in its work in the future — in this case, it can either transfer its license to the client (by notifying us in writing), followed by an update to the desired scale by the client. Another scenario is that they could ask the client to purchase a Large license package for use by or on behalf of them, and include the six designers in it.
There are a few options. Imagine that there are six designers in the studio, the studio’s website is visited by less than 125,000 unique users, and the rest of the studio’s parameters do not exceed the listed restrictions for the Medium license package. Let's also imagine that the studio is interested in working with the font on other projects in the future, and the client is a big brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and powerful social network presence. In this case, when submitting the project to the client, the design studio will have to warn them about the need to purchase their own license package, which in this example will be Large. Another option: the design studio is not going to use the font in its work in the future - in this case, it can either transfer its license to the client (by notifying us in writing) with a subsequent update to the required scale by the customer, or ask the client to purchase a license upgrade, which in this case would be a Large license package, and include the six designers in it.
The tomorrow store protects the font — both as a font file and as a container of unique graphics. However, in the event of unavoidable license conflicts, a license allowing such use would take precedence. In other words, if a font license was purchased from another distributor under conditions permitting such use, then tomorrow.type.today and its copyright holders would not have any issues.
Yes, everyone is equal.
We have been around since 2016, and have never changed the terms of our licenses. But theoretically, if we wanted to do this, the answer to this question would be: all previously issued licenses would be viable and would not need to be updated.
We distribute limited, simple (non-exclusive) licenses without territorial restrictions. The need to upgrade a license in connection with the entry into other countries’ markets would arise in regards to huge global brands. Territorial restrictions become important for these type of end users, as they determine the scale of use, since, for example, creating new models adapted to a specific market increases the number of employees and, therefore, installations of the font, plus there is an increase in the number of unique visitors per month to their sites.
A clothing brand needs to acquire its own type font software license package that matches its scale. And then there are various options, including those depending on the scale of the use of the font in the design of the T-shirt. But there’s an important aspect here: if the T-shirt was created as advertising and the font is used, for example, for the mobile operator’s slogan with which this advertising campaign was made, then the licenses should be purchased by both the advertising agency and the mobile operator. The options depend on the font plans for each of the participants: these may be separate license packages, or one Large license package might make more sense.
When the lettering is used as the basis of the brand, of its identity — as a repeating visual anchor with which the brand associates itself.
No.
No there aren’t.
There are various options. A single designer (independent contractor) most likely requires a Medium font license package. But let’s imagine that they are interested in working with this font for other projects in the future, and the client is a big brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and powerful social network presence. In this case, when the designer delivers the project to the client, they will have to warn them about the need to purchase a license package, which in this example will be Large. Another option: the designer is not going to use the font in their work in the future—- in this case, they can either transfer their license to the client (by notifying us in writing about it). Then they can also update the required scale for the client, or ask the client to pay for a Large license package upgrade, and include the designer in it.
There are a range of options. One designer is likely to require a minimum package of licenses. Let’s imagine that they’re interested in working with the font on other projects in the future. And the client is a well-known brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and powerful social network presence. In this case, when the designer delivers the project to the client, they need to be warned about the need to purchase a license package, which in this example would be Large. Another option: if the designer is not going to use the font for their work in the future , then they can either transfer their license to the client (by notifying us in writing about it), followed by an update to the required scale of the license on the part of the client, or ask the client to purchase a Large license package and to include the designer in it.
Updates will be required only if the involvement of the new independent contractor somehow removes the restaurant from the scale of their existing paid license.
Each of our license packages includes all the necessary file formats and all the permissions to allow use everywhere. The only caveat is the scale of the license package, which is clearly described on our website.
In short, the possible options here are that each of the participants can theoretically buy licenses “with some wiggle room” and with their licenses will cover the entire development chain. We prefer that the client themselves be the licensee, but in practice, this is sometimes impossible and the design studio or a specific designer acts as a licensee. It’s important that the licensing covers both the number of installations on electronic devices and the total authorized scale of the font use by any of the participants.
We are interested in the average statistics for the last six months. The once-off peaks and dips described in this case would not affect the scale of the license.
The publisher has to purchase a license package that reflects the scale of the font use.
Both video use and font use in social networks are included in each store's license package, it is just important to keep the required scale of the package in mind. Who should purchase a license package? There are a few options: One designer is likely to require a Minimum package of licenses. Imagine that designer is interested in working with the font on some other projects in the future. And the client is a well-known brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and powerful social network presence. In this case, when the designer, hands the animated video over to the client, they will have to warn them about the need to purchase their own license package, which in this example will be Large. Another option: if the designer is not going to use the font in their work in the future, they can either transfer their license to the client (by notifying us in writing about it), followed by an update to the required scale of the commercial license on the part of the client, or ask the client to pay for their own Large package of licenses , and the designer can be included in it.
Video use is included in each package of store licenses, it is just important to pay attention to the authorized scale of the package.
Use in video format is included in each of the store’s license packages, it is only important to observe the desired scale of the package. There are these options: A single designer is likely to require a Minimum package of licenses. Imagine that they are interested in working with the font for their other projects in the future. And the client is a well-known brand, with a large number of employees, a popular website and powerful social network presence. In this case, when the designer hands over the animated video to the customer, will have to warn them about the need to purchase his license package, which in this example will be Large. Another option: the designer is not going to use the font in their work in the future — in this case, they can either transfer their license to the client (by notifying us in writing about it), followed by updating to the required scale on behalf of the client, or ask the client to pay for a Large package of licenses and then include the designer in it.
Video use is included in each package of store licenses, it is only important to adhere to the required scale of the package. The designer will need their own license, their own means of production, and their own distributor. The largest license will be required for the distributor, and this will be calculated according to the number of web and video views, the number of subscribers in social networks, etc. But if one of the participants (contractors) in this chain is not going to use the font in their future work, then they can transfer their license to the client, having notified us in writing about this. In turn, the client (in this example, a post-production studio or distributor) will have to upgrade the license to reflect the required scale. Either the designer or the production studio can ask the client who pays for the license package — the production studio or the distributor — to include them in it.
The clothing brand needs to acquire its own license package that matches the scale of its use. It is important to remember that if the t-shirt is created as an advertising medium, and the font on it is, for example, a slogan and/or advertisement for this artist’s new album, she will have to purchase her own license package. Who should have these licenses? Here, too, there are options, depending on the font plans for each of the participants: these could be separate license packages for the production agency and the singer (her label), it could also be one large license package, for example, if the clip is produced by the TV channel itself.
Yes, this type of use would require the purchase of a separate license. Theoretically, we don’t mind who pays for this license, but it would be more appropriate if the museum does it, as it is the beneficiary of this merchandise.
Yes, it does.
A license package relevant to the scale of use needs to be purchased.
