Please read the terms of service ("Agreement") in detail before using FontSpy.com. The services on this website are offered to you under the following tems and conditions.

Accepting the Terms of Service

Please read these terms of service (“Agreement”) carefully before using Font Spy or any services provided on Font Spy (collectively, “Services”). By using or accessing the Services, you agree to become bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use the Services. The Services are accessed by You (“User” or “You”) under the following terms and conditions:

1. Access to the Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Font Spy may offer to provide the Services, as described more fully on Font Spy, and which are selected by User, solely for User’s own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services Font Spy performs for User, as well as the offering of any Content (as defined below) on Font Spy. Font Spy may change, suspend or discontinue the Services at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or Content. Font Spy may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict User’s access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. Font Spy reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify these Terms of Service at any time by posting revised Terms of Service on Font Spy and by providing notice via e-mail, where possible, or on Font Spy. User shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Services by User following such modification constitutes User's acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.

User certifies to Font Spy that User is an individual (i.e., not a corporate entity) at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal information to or on Font Spy (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number or email address). User also certifies that they are legally permitted to use the Services and access Font Spy, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services and access of Font Spy. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access Font Spy is revoked in such jurisdictions. Font Spy makes no claim that Font Spy may be lawfully viewed or that Content may be downloaded outside of the United States. Access to the Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If You access Font Spy from outside the United States, You do so at Your own risk and You are responsible for compliance with the laws of Your jurisdiction.

Font Spy will use reasonable efforts to ensure that Font Spy and Services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when Font Spy and/or Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by Font Spy to minimize such disruption where it is within Font Spy’s reasonable control.

You agree that Font Spy will not be liable in any event to You or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of Font Spy, the service, any User Content, or other Content.

Font Spy retains the right to create limits on use and storage in its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

User shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access Font Spy or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service. User shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Services.

Upon termination of User's account, User’s right to use the Services, access Font Spy, and any Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

Font Spy shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Font Spy’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
