Custom Fonts on Websites
Customers occasionally request to use custom fonts on their websites that are created with either SmartCMS or GrowthZoneCMS. Fonts, like images, video, and other media, are considered intellectual property and as such have strict terms that govern their ownership and use. Some fonts are considered "open-source" which means their designers are granting anyone permission to use them without a license. Google Fonts, for example, are a popular source of open-source fonts that are free to use on any website. Fonts that are not or not fully open-source require licensing, attribution, or both before they can legally be used. Frequently, this is a simple process where a customer makes a one-time purchase of a license that allows for the font to be used legally on a website. Special care should be taken to purchase the correct type of license as some font designers sell separate licenses for desktop and web use and a desktop license is not applicable for using the font on a website.
GrowthZone ChamberMaster's end user license agreement (EULA) explicitly states that the customer is, at all times, responsible for procuring appropriate and current licensing for all custom fonts. Appropriate font licenses must be available at the time the design work is to be completed. If the customer cannot or does not wish to obtain licensing for the custom font, the custom font cannot be used. GrowthZone Chambermaster designers will help customers identify similar open-source fonts that do not require any licensing and can be used in place of unlicensed custom fonts.
