Trial End User License Agreement (EULA)

Store Norske Skriftkompani – Baat AS


This is a Trial and Evaluation License. The attached Baat AS Font Software may be used only for testing and evaluating on one computer in one location. By installing this Trial Font Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this End User License Agreement. To use Baat AS Font Software for any purpose other than testing and evaluating, you must purchase a valid License from Baat AS.


1. Introduction

1.1. This End User License Agreement (EULA) is between the License Owner (“End User,” “Licensee”) and Baat AS for the use of Font Software. “License Owner” means the person or entity bound by this EULA. “Font Software” means any version or copy of the font, typeface, or web font provided by Baat AS. “Designer(s)” means the individual(s) or entity credited as designer(s) in the type specimen, documentation, or within the Font Software itself. “Use” means any act of downloading, installing, accessing, displaying, embedding, reproducing, distributing, modifying, or otherwise utilising the Font Software or any part thereof, in any medium or context.

1.2. The License Owner is required to review and understand this EULA before purchasing a License for any Baat AS Font Software license.

1.3. This EULA constitutes the entire agreement. Baat AS grants the License Owner a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Font Software as specified in this agreement. Verbal agreements are not valid. All other rights are reserved.

1.4. By downloading, accessing, installing, or using the Font Software, the License Owner agrees to be bound by this EULA. If these terms are not accepted, the Font Software may not be used or accessed.

1.5. By ordering or using the Font Software, the License Owner’s representative confirms authority to enter into and fulfil this EULA, and must ensure that all parties with whom the Font Software is shared are informed of these terms.

1.6. Only an authorised representative of Baat AS may modify this EULA. Baat AS may update the EULA at its discretion.

1.7. Offers, prices, and agreements provided by Baat AS to individual customers are confidential.

1.8. Markups on Baat AS license fees are strictly prohibited. Intermediaries must clearly and transparently distinguish Baat AS license fees from their own service fees at all times. Any concealed or undisclosed fees will be deemed Baat AS license fees and must be paid in full to Baat AS immediately, without objection, delay, or negotiation.

2. Ownership

2.1. The copyright and all intellectual property rights in each Font Software are held by the designers of the respective Font Software. Baat AS acts as the exclusive distributor and licensing agent for the Font Software on behalf of the designers. Licenses grant usage rights only; ownership always remains with the designers.

2.2. The design, structure, and code of the Font Software are owned by the designers and are protected by Norwegian and international intellectual property laws. Baat AS is authorised to distribute, manage, and enforce the licensing of the Font Software on behalf of the designers.

2.3. All rights to any custom or additional characters or versions created for a License Owner remain with the designers. Such additions are non-exclusive unless explicitly agreed, and any exclusivity is time-limited.

2.4. The License Owner may not trademark the Font Software, its name, or design, nor alter or remove any related trademark, trade name, or proprietary notice. The License Owner may use the Font Software to create original works and seek trademarks for those works, but not for the Font Software itself. Trademarking a logo or slogan created with the Font Software requires additional licensing as outlined in section 4.9.

2.5. Baat AS, as the exclusive distributor and licensing agent, is authorised to act on behalf of the designers in defending and enforcing intellectual property rights in the Font Software, including taking legal action against any infringement or unauthorised use.

3. General License Terms

3.1. Baat AS licenses are granted to the License Owner for the specific types of use purchased. License categories and permitted uses are defined in section 4 of this EULA. The license covers only the uses expressly identified in the License Owner’s license. Additional uses are not permitted unless the License Owner obtains an appropriate extension or separate license.

3.2. The License Owner is the company or organisation that uses the Font Software to represent itself, whether for brand identity, projects, or any other purpose. Designers, agencies, or third parties may not use Baat AS Font Software for multiple clients; each client must obtain a separate license.

3.3. A smaller company within an organisation cannot be the License Owner if a larger company uses the Font Software to represent itself. Designers, agencies, or third parties cannot be the License Owner if producing work for another company. The License Owner must always be the entity represented by the Font Software. Baat AS will determine the appropriate License Owner. For clarification, contact Baat AS using the information at the end of this document.

3.4. The License Owner’s size is determined by the total number of employees, freelancers, and contractors at the company, regardless of the scope or duration of the project or use. License pricing is based on this total size, not the number of installations or users.

3.5. If multiple entities within a corporation are using the Font Software to represent themselves, the license size will be calculated by combining all staff, full-time freelancers, and contractors across all companies in the corporation.

3.6. License pricing is determined by the total number of employees, full-time freelancers, and contractors across all companies represented by the Font Software. This figure must be reported accurately at the time of purchase. If the employee count increases, the License Owner is required to contact Baat AS to request a license upgrade. The licensed size will be specified in the order confirmation.

3.7. Failure to upgrade the license to reflect the correct number of employees will result in immediate termination of the license and all associated usage rights.

3.8. Each license is valid for a single brand within a company, business entity, or institution, and is limited to the business locations stipulated by the License Owner.

3.9. The license and Font Software are non-transferable if the License Owner company closes or merges with another entity.

4. License Types

License Owners with fewer than 51 employees may produce one logo, wordmark, or trademark, for one single brand or company within the standard desktop license. Trademarking or registering any logo, wordmark, or slogan that utilises the Font Software always requires a separate Trademark License (ATL), as described in Section 4.9.

4.8. Above The Line (ATL) use and advertising are not included in the License Types above. ATL Licenses, covering a broad audience advertising, are available individually or as bundled packages.

4.16. The Software/Video Games License (ATL) covers the use of the Font Software on one single computer software or video game title (including software for Windows, macOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Linux, etc.).

If additional third parties require access, the License Owner must obtain separate Third-Party Licenses from Baat AS. For unlimited Third Party Licenses, please see the Unlimited License section 4.23.

Procuring parties may be held liable if insufficient disclosure results in unlawful use by License Owners. Upon request, the License Owner must submit a comprehensive report of Font Software usage to demonstrate compliance with the license terms and the EULA.

7. Handling of Data

7.1. The License Owner may not itself or through third parties reproduce, adapt, recast, translate, alter, modify, extend, rename, or otherwise alter the Font Software, or create derivative software using any data contained within the Font Software. The License Owner may not reverse engineer, decompile, decrypt, disassemble, regenerate, or reformat the Font Software in any way, nor seek to reveal the source code of the Font Software.

7.2. Machine-Learning Restrictions: The License Owner may not, through machine learning or any other means, use artificial intelligence to analyse, learn, reproduce, adapt, recast, translate, modify, extend, rename, or otherwise alter the Font Software, or create derivative software using any data from the Font Software.
