Copyright is a vital concern when it comes to font usage and distribution. At Fontxplore.com, we allow font designers to upload and share their creations, and they must certify that they are the rightful copyright holders of the fonts they submit. To maintain integrity and legality, our team also performs periodic reviews to ensure the fonts shared are classified as shareware or distributed under valid open-source licenses.
If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted on Fontxplore.com without proper authorization, you are encouraged to submit a copyright infringement notification. These notifications should be submitted only by the copyright owner or a legally authorized representative acting on the owner’s behalf.
Understanding Font Licenses
A font’s license defines how it can be used. Below are the common license types found on Fontxplore.com:
Personal Use
Fonts licensed for personal use are intended for non-commercial projects, such as:
-
Scrapbooking or hobby projects
-
Personal blogs or websites
-
Invitations or flyers for friends and family
-
Use by churches, charities, or nonprofit organizations
-
Making T-shirts for personal use or gifting (not for sale)
Commercial Use
Commercial use licenses are required for any situation where the font contributes to a product or service intended to generate revenue, including:
-
Flyers, posters, or ads promoting events with paid admission
-
Merchandise such as T-shirts or mugs intended for sale
-
Printed books, magazines, or digital publications
-
Logos, business cards, or branded websites
-
Any freelance or client design work
In most cases, the original designer or author retains full copyright of the font. This means you are not permitted to resell the font or claim it as your own work, even with a commercial use license.
