LynxMICR Font License Agreement

This Font License Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Chain Interlynx, LLC ("ChainInterLynx," "we," "us") and the licensee named at purchase and on the license certificate ("Licensee," "you"). It governs the LynxMICR E-13B font software, including all font files, versions, and updates we provide (the "Font"). By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Font you accept this Agreement. The Font is licensed, not sold.

1. Definitions

• "Licensed Product" means software, a website or web application, or an electronic or printed document that you create and in which the Font is embedded or used to render output.
• "End User" means a person or organization that receives or uses a Licensed Product from you.
• "Authorized User" means, for an Individual Developer License, the Licensee personally; for a Business License, the Licensee entity's employees and individual contractors working on the Licensee's behalf.

2. License Types

2.1 Individual Developer License ($499, one-time)

• Available only to a natural person who is the developer who will use the Font and the person who pays the license fee from their own funds. The Licensee named on the certificate must be that person.
• If the fee is paid, or reimbursed, by a corporation, LLC, partnership, or other entity, or if the Font will be used by anyone other than the Licensee, a Business License is required.
• The Licensee may use the Font in Licensed Products the Licensee personally develops, including products developed for the Licensee's clients, provided the Licensee remains the developer.

2.2 Business License ($1,500, one-time)

• Available to a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other legal entity, which is the Licensee.
• Covers use by all of the Licensee's Authorized Users, at any number of locations, in Licensed Products developed by or for the Licensee.
• Does not extend to the Licensee's parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies, which need their own license.

3. License Grant

Subject to this Agreement and payment of the license fee, we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for your Authorized Users to:

1. install and use the Font on computers and servers under your control to design, develop, and produce Licensed Products and output, including printing checks and other documents;
2. embed the Font in Licensed Products and distribute those Licensed Products to End Users, commercially or otherwise, in any number of copies (including embedding the Font in PDF and other documents, and in software and web applications that render output with it); and
3. make a reasonable number of backup copies.

End Users may use the Font only as part of, and to operate, the Licensed Product they receive. They receive no right to use the Font separately.

4. Restrictions

You may not:

• sell, license, sublicense, rent, lend, share, or otherwise distribute the Font, or any part of it, as a standalone font or in any form whose main purpose or effect is to let others use the Font independently of your Licensed Product (for example, a font collection, font library, font-hosting service, or a design or font tool that exposes the Font to its users for their own use);
• make the Font file directly downloadable from a website, repository, or package, except where it is embedded in and protected within your Licensed Product in the ordinary way for its format;
• modify, adapt, translate, or convert the Font, or create a derivative font, for distribution; conversions for your own internal use in another format are permitted;
• remove or alter the Font's copyright notices, license information, or embedded metadata; or
• transfer or assign this license, except that a Business License may be transferred with the sale of substantially all of the Licensee's business, with written notice to us.

5. Ownership

ChainInterLynx owns the Font and all intellectual property rights in it. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The E-13B character set is defined by public banking standards; this Agreement licenses our Font software, not the standard itself.

6. Fitness for MICR Use

The Font is designed to the published E-13B character specifications and is intended to be used at 12 points, which gives the standard 1/8-inch character pitch. Whether printed characters are read correctly depends on your software's placement of the MICR line, your printer, toner (many banks require or recommend magnetic MICR toner), paper, and settings, which we do not control. You are responsible for testing your Licensed Products and output with your bank or processing environment before production use.

7. Warranty

For 30 days after purchase, we warrant that the Font file will install and render the E-13B characters as described. Your exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is, at our option, a corrected Font file or a refund of the license fee. Except for this limited warranty, the Font is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ChainInterLynx will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, lost profits, bank fees, rejected or misread items, or losses from fraudulent or altered documents, arising from the Font or this Agreement. Our total liability is limited to the license fee you paid.

9. Verification

On reasonable written request, not more than once a year, you will confirm in writing that your use of the Font complies with this Agreement.

10. Termination

This license ends automatically if you breach it and do not cure the breach within 30 days of notice, or if the license fee is refunded or reversed. On termination you must stop using the Font and delete all copies, except that Licensed Products you distributed to End Users before termination, in compliance with this Agreement, may continue to be used by those End Users.

11. General

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, as provided in our Terms of Service, which also apply to your purchase. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. This Agreement, your license certificate, and the Terms of Service are the entire agreement about the Font.
