End User License Agreement

Version 1.0 — May 2026

This document governs the use of any Ritmo Type font software acquired under a paid license. Separate terms apply to trial fonts.

Welcome

Ritmo Type is an independent type foundry based in Torino, Italy, born from the collaboration between Archivio Tipografico and Il Letterista. Ritmo seizes the byproducts, accidental findings, and work tools of two distinct typographic practices, amplifying and sequencing them into digital fonts rooted in tradition and artisanal precision, fit for contemporary typesetting. Ritmo is conceived as a broader design platform, one that encompasses typefaces, printed matter, research, and collateral projects, all handled with the same editorial and material care.

This document sets out how Ritmo Type fonts can be used once licensed. It describes what the license covers, what it does not, how pricing works, and how the relationship unfolds over time. It is written to be read by the people who will actually use the fonts, not only by lawyers.

A few things that distinguish the way Ritmo licenses fonts, worth knowing before reading further. Pricing is scaled by the size of the organisation using the fonts, with no other metrics to track. Licenses run for five (5) years, renewable, with no perpetual option. Work produced during a valid term may remain in circulation after expiry. The Licensee is always the organisation for whose benefit the fonts are used, not the designer or studio executing the work.

To make this concrete: imagine a designer uses Ritmo fonts to create an identity for their client, Brand Company. In this Agreement, Brand Company is the Licensee, its internal team members who work with the fonts are Permitted Users, and the designer or studio commissioned by Brand Company is an Authorised Third Party. The license is held by Brand Company; the designer works under it, with access enabled through the Third-Party Extension described in Section 2.

This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a binding contract between Ritmo Type and the Licensee. By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using Ritmo Type font software, the Licensee agrees to be bound by the terms set out below. Where a Licensee requires a term or scope different from the standard terms offered, a custom contract may be negotiated. Write to ciao@ritmotype.com to discuss.

1. Definitions

The following terms have the meanings set out below throughout this Agreement.

Font Software. The digital files containing the typefaces designed and distributed by Ritmo Type, in any format (including OTF, TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, and any variable, colour, or derivative formats), together with any accompanying documentation, outlines, metrics, hinting, and source data.

Licensee. The legal or natural person for whose benefit the Font Software is used. In a client project, the Licensee is the client commissioning the work (the entity whose brand, product, publication, or communication carries the typeface), not the designer, studio, or agency executing the work.

License. The specific right to use the Font Software granted by Ritmo Type upon completion of purchase, in the scope and for the duration set out in the purchase confirmation and in this Agreement.

Term. The five (5) year period commencing on the date of purchase confirmation, unless otherwise specified in a custom contract.

Permitted Users. The natural persons employed by or otherwise engaged within the Licensee's organisation, authorised to use the Font Software in the course of their work for the Licensee. Permitted Users may access the Font Software on any equipment used for Licensee work, whether provided by the Licensee or personally owned, regardless of location. The number of Permitted Users is not separately capped; the scope of the license is defined by the Licensee's Company Size.

Authorised Third Parties. Designers, studios, agencies, developers, or contractors engaged by the Licensee to perform work on the Licensee's behalf. Access to the Font Software by Authorised Third Parties is enabled only where the Licensee has purchased the Third-Party Extension described in Section 2. Where the Extension is in place, Authorised Third Parties may install and use the Font Software on their own equipment solely for the purpose of producing deliverables for the Licensee, for the duration of the engagement, and must delete all copies upon completion or termination of the engagement.

Consumer. A Licensee acting for purposes outside their trade, business, craft, or profession, within the meaning of Art. 3 of the Italian Consumer Code (Codice del Consumo).

Company Size. The total number of employees of the Licensee organisation, including its subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies, at the date of purchase or renewal, used to determine the applicable pricing tier.

2. License Grant

Subject to full payment of the applicable license fee and continuous compliance with this Agreement, Ritmo Type grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to install and use the Font Software for the Term, in accordance with the scope of the license purchased.

Desktop License

The Desktop License permits the Licensee and its Permitted Users to install and use the Font Software across the Licensee's organisation, for the purpose of creating static designs, print work, and video content, including social media video subject to the threshold set out under Social Media below. The scope of the license is determined solely by the Licensee's Company Size, which also governs the applicable pricing tier.

The Desktop License does not by itself permit external collaborators to access the Font Software. Where the Licensee wishes to engage Authorised Third Parties in the production of its work, the Third-Party Extension described below must be purchased.

Fonts are supplied in OTF format. Output formats in which the Font Software may be embedded are governed by Section 3.

Web License

The Web License permits use of the Font Software on one (1) registered domain and its sub-domains, via @font-face declarations or equivalent. Fonts are supplied in WOFF and WOFF2 format and must be self-hosted on servers or hosting providers controlled by the Licensee.

The use of third-party font-hosting or font-serving services (including but not limited to Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or equivalent delivery networks) is prohibited. A Web License does not cover use in mobile or desktop applications, which require a Special Use License.

For use on more than one domain, a custom quote is required.

Social Media

Social media use of the Font Software is included within the Desktop License at no additional cost for Licensees whose total follower count, aggregated across all accounts on which the Font Software is used, does not exceed twenty thousand (20,000). This covers static posts, stories, reels, and short video on all platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and any successor or equivalent social media platforms.

Where the Licensee's aggregate follower count on accounts using the Font Software exceeds twenty thousand (20,000), a dedicated Social Media License is required in addition to the Desktop License. The Social Media License is priced by follower tier, scaling with the total aggregate follower count. Current tier thresholds and pricing are published at ritmotype.com.

Special Use

A Special Use License is required for any of the following: logo and wordmark design for commercial use; mobile and desktop applications (embedding in App binaries); electronic publications (ePub, interactive PDF distributed commercially); online and offline video games; broadcast television and theatrical film title use; unlimited enterprise licensing.

Special Use Licenses are issued under separate written terms agreed in advance. Contact ciao@ritmotype.com to discuss scope.

Third-Party Extension (optional)

The Third-Party Extension is an optional add-on to the Desktop License. It unlocks the Licensee's ability to share the Font Software with Authorised Third Parties (freelancers, studios, agencies, and other external contractors) engaged in the production of the Licensee's work.

Once the Extension is in place, the Licensee may engage any reasonable number of Authorised Third Parties, across any of the Licensee's work, for the duration of the Term. Authorised Third Parties may install the Font Software on their own equipment solely to produce deliverables for the Licensee, and must delete all copies upon completion or termination of the engagement. The Licensee shall ensure that any Authorised Third Party receives a copy of this Agreement before accessing the Font Software, and that they are aware of and agree to comply with its terms.

The Third-Party Extension is priced as a percentage of the base Desktop License fee, scaling with the Licensee's Company Size. Current pricing is published at ritmotype.com. The Extension runs concurrently with the base Desktop License and is renewed together with it.

3. Embedding

Under the Desktop License, the Font Software may be embedded in PDF and equivalent static document formats in subset, read-only form, for viewing and printing. The Licensee must not embed the Font Software in a manner that permits extraction, editing, or re-use of the outlines by recipients.

Distribution of editable source files (including InDesign, Illustrator, Figma, editable Word, or PowerPoint documents) containing the Font Software to third parties who do not themselves hold a valid Ritmo Type license is prohibited. Internal collaboration between Permitted Users and Authorised Third Parties working on behalf of the Licensee is permitted.

Embedding in ePub, mobile applications, desktop applications, or any distributable software bundle is not permitted under the Desktop or Web License and requires a Special Use License.

The Licensee may convert the Font Software to outlines for the purpose of producing a static logo or wordmark, provided the resulting outlines are not used to reconstitute a functional font and are not distributed as a typeface.

Commercial use of a logo or wordmark in which the Font Software constitutes the principal typographic element, whether in original or outlined form, requires a Special Use License. Incidental use of the Font Software within a broader visual mark, where the typography plays a supporting rather than principal role, is covered by the Desktop License and does not require a Special Use License.

For the avoidance of doubt: principal use includes logos or wordmarks in which the Font Software itself is the primary or sole visual element of the mark. Incidental use includes the Licensee's company name, tagline, or descriptive text rendered in the Font Software as supporting material accompanying a separate graphic symbol or emblem. Where the boundary is unclear, the Licensee may contact ciao@ritmotype.com for guidance before adopting the mark.

4. Permitted and Prohibited Use

Backups and Internal Use

The Licensee may install and use the Font Software freely on equipment owned or controlled by the Licensee, and on equipment used by Permitted Users for Licensee work, throughout the Licensee's organisation as defined by its Company Size. The Licensee may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Font Software for archival and disaster-recovery purposes. Backup copies are subject to the same restrictions as the original files.

Provision of the Font Software to persons outside the Licensee's organisation, other than to Authorised Third Parties acting on the Licensee's behalf in accordance with Section 1, is prohibited.

Prohibited Acts

The Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

Modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the Font Software, including reformatting into alternative font formats;
Rent, lease, lend, sell, sub-license, distribute, or otherwise transfer the Font Software to any third party;
Upload the Font Software to any public repository, file-sharing service, code-hosting platform, or public-facing server;
Use any process, technique, or device (including hot-linking, re-serving, or re-directing) that enables access to or use of the Font Software by any person or entity not licensed by Ritmo Type;
Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical measures protecting the Font Software;
Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices contained in the Font Software;
Use the Font Software to produce goods whose principal commercial value is the display of the typeface itself, or to create physical or digital objects in the shape of its letterforms (including rubber stamps, adhesive alphabets, stencils, three-dimensional letterforms, non-fungible tokens, or similar products in which the typeface, rather than its use within a broader design, constitutes the product);
Use the Font Software in any work intended to promote violence, hatred, or discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic;
Use the Font Software in connection with pornographic, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful content;
Use the Font Software in a partisan political context (including political campaigns, party communications, or advocacy materials for or against specific candidates or parties) without prior written permission from Ritmo Type.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to, use the Font Software, the designs embodied in it, any rasterisations or renderings of it, or any data derived from it:

As training data, fine-tuning data, or evaluation data for any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence system, including generative models, vision models, OCR systems, and font-generation systems;
To produce outputs intended to imitate, reconstruct, or substitute for the Font Software or any Ritmo Type typeface;
To create synthetic typefaces, variable-font extensions, or derivative letterform datasets.

This prohibition applies whether the use is for research, commercial, or personal purposes, and whether the system is proprietary, open-source, or operated by a third-party provider.

5. Pricing, Purchase, and Company Size

Pricing Policy

License pricing is scaled by Company Size, specifically the number of employees at the Licensee organisation. Ritmo Type believes this is the fairest way to ensure equal access to its typefaces across different scales of practice, from independent designers to large studios and companies.

Company Size is declared by the Licensee at the point of purchase and determines the pricing tier for the full duration of the Term. Changes in the Licensee's Company Size during the Term do not affect the license, the price paid, or the scope of use. Company Size is re-assessed only at renewal, at which point the then-current list price and tier apply.

The Licensee is always the entity for whose benefit the typeface is used. In client projects, this is the client commissioning the work, not the designer or studio executing it. Designers purchasing on behalf of a client must identify the client as the Licensee and state the client's Company Size at the point of purchase.

Student discounts are available for non-commercial, self-initiated academic projects. Discounts on bundled purchases are also offered. Full pricing details are published at ritmotype.com.

One License per Licensee

Each license covers one Licensee only. Where a designer, studio, or agency uses the Font Software in work for multiple clients, each client must hold its own license. A single license cannot be shared across separate client organisations, and the Third-Party Extension described in Section 2 does not extend the Licensee's license to cover the work of any other Licensee.

Enterprise Threshold

The standard licenses described in Section 2 are available to Licensees whose combined annual revenue, measured across the Licensee organisation together with its subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies in the most recent full financial year, does not exceed fifty million euros (€50,000,000), and whose shares are not publicly traded on any recognised stock exchange.

Where either threshold is exceeded, the Licensee is not eligible for the standard licenses and must contact ciao@ritmotype.com to arrange a bespoke enterprise license on separately agreed terms. Entry into a bespoke enterprise license will be required before any use of the Font Software.

How to Purchase

To purchase a license or request a custom quote, write to ciao@ritmotype.com indicating the typeface(s) required, the license type, the Licensee identity, and the Licensee's Company Size. Trial fonts are available on request.

Payment and Delivery

Licenses enter into force upon full payment. Font Software is delivered by electronic download. The Licensee is responsible for downloading, storing, and retaining the files; Ritmo Type is not obliged to provide replacement files beyond a reasonable period following delivery.

6. Term, Renewal, and Grandfathering

Term

Each license granted under this Agreement runs for a Term of five (5) years, commencing on the date of purchase confirmation. Perpetual licenses are not available under this Agreement. Licensees requiring a shorter or longer term may contact Ritmo Type to negotiate a custom contract.

Renewal Notices

Ritmo Type will send renewal reminder notices to the Licensee by email at two points during the Term: twelve (12) months before expiry, and six (6) months before expiry. These reminders are a courtesy; it is the Licensee's responsibility to maintain current contact information and to renew in a timely manner. Failure by Ritmo Type to send a reminder does not extend the Term or waive any rights.

Renewal

At the end of the Term, the Licensee may renew the license by contacting Ritmo Type and paying the renewal fee. Renewal is not automatic and requires active opt-in by the Licensee. The renewal fee shall be calculated at Ritmo Type's then-current list price, at the tier corresponding to the Licensee's Company Size at the date of renewal. Upon renewal, a new five-year Term commences and this Agreement (in its then-current version) continues to apply.

Expiry and Cure Period

If the Licensee does not renew before expiry of the Term, a thirty (30) day cure period applies, during which the Licensee may still complete renewal on the terms set out above. During the cure period, ongoing use of the Font Software is tolerated pending renewal but is not a grant of continued rights.

After the cure period, all Licensee rights under this Agreement terminate, subject to the grandfathering provisions set out below. Continued use of the Font Software after expiry of the cure period, without renewal, constitutes infringement and triggers the provisions of Section 8.

Grandfathering of Produced Work

Work publicly released during the valid Term (including printed matter, books, magazines, packaging, static identity assets, and audiovisual content distributed as finished work) may remain in circulation indefinitely following expiry of the Term, without need for renewal. No new production of materials using the Font Software is permitted after expiry without a renewed license.

Exception for Web Licenses. Grandfathering does not apply to Web Licenses. A website actively serving the Font Software via @font-face or equivalent constitutes ongoing use rather than produced work in circulation. On expiry of a Web License without renewal and after the cure period, the Font Software must be removed from the website or the license must be renewed. Continued service of the Font Software on a live website after that point constitutes infringement.

Grandfathering also does not apply to mobile or desktop applications, electronic publications, or games licensed under Special Use, where the Font Software remains embedded in an actively distributed binary or file; such licenses follow terms set out in the applicable Special Use agreement.

Termination for Breach

Without prejudice to the renewal and expiry provisions above, any breach of this Agreement by the Licensee immediately voids and annuls the license and all associated usage rights, without need for prior notice or judicial declaration. Ritmo Type reserves the right to pursue any further remedies available under law.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination for breach or upon expiry without renewal (after the cure period), the Licensee shall immediately cease all new use of the Font Software, permanently delete all copies of the Font Software from all equipment under the Licensee's control, and confirm such deletion in writing upon request. Grandfathered works already produced and publicly released during a valid Term may remain in circulation, subject to the limitations set out above.

7. Refunds, Cancellations, and Consumer Rights

No Refund Except for Defects

Font Software is a digital good delivered by download. Once delivered, licenses are non-refundable and non-cancellable, except as expressly set out in this Section or as required by applicable consumer law.

Refunds are issued only where a defect in the Font Software cannot be resolved by Ritmo Type within a reasonable period following written notification. Any refund immediately terminates the Licensee's right to use the Font Software and triggers the deletion obligations set out in Section 6.

No Cancellation for Project or Business Reasons

Cancellation of a client project, termination of an engagement between a Licensee and its designer or agency, misjudgement of scope, or change of creative direction do not constitute grounds for refund or cancellation. The Licensee's obligations under this Agreement survive the completion or cancellation of any underlying project.

Misstatement of Company Size at Purchase

Where a Licensee's Company Size was misstated at the point of purchase, whether by genuine error or otherwise, the remedy is a top-up to the correct pricing tier for the remaining portion of the Term, not cancellation or refund. Ritmo Type may, at its sole discretion, issue credit notes toward future purchases in cases of good-faith error; the Licensee has no contractual entitlement to such credit. Changes in the Licensee's Company Size occurring after an accurate purchase do not affect the license during the Term and do not give rise to any refund, credit, or top-up obligation before renewal.

Chargebacks

The Licensee agrees not to initiate a payment chargeback, reversal, or dispute with any bank, card issuer, or payment provider in respect of a license fee paid to Ritmo Type, except where a refund has first been requested in writing and refused by Ritmo Type in breach of this Agreement.

A chargeback initiated in breach of this clause automatically terminates the license from the date of the chargeback. Continued use of the Font Software thereafter constitutes infringement and triggers the provisions of Section 8. Ritmo Type reserves the right to recover the original license fee, chargeback processing costs, and any surcharges due under Section 8 through legal action.

Consumer Withdrawal Right (Italian and EU Consumer Law)

This Section applies only to Licensees acting as Consumers within the meaning of the Italian Consumer Code.

Under Art. 52 and following of the Italian Consumer Code (implementing Directive 2011/83/EU), a Consumer ordinarily has fourteen (14) days from the conclusion of a distance contract to withdraw without giving a reason. However, pursuant to Art. 59(1)(o) of the Italian Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is lost in respect of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium where:

The Consumer has given prior express consent to the performance of the contract beginning before the fourteen-day withdrawal period expires; and
The Consumer has acknowledged that, by giving such consent, the right of withdrawal will be lost once performance has begun; and
Ritmo Type has provided confirmation of the contract on a durable medium including that acknowledgement.

Ritmo Type's standard purchase process is designed to satisfy these requirements. Where a Consumer has given such express consent and acknowledgement in connection with the purchase, the right of withdrawal is disapplied upon delivery of the Font Software and no refund is due on withdrawal grounds. Where such consent and acknowledgement have not been captured, the Consumer retains the statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal.

This Section does not limit any other non-waivable rights that the Consumer has under Italian or EU law, including remedies for non-conforming digital content under the Italian Consumer Code.

8. Misuse and Infringement

Infringement

Using Ritmo Type Font Software without a valid and adequate license (including use after expiry of the Term and cure period without renewal, use exceeding the scope of the license purchased, and use in breach of Section 4) constitutes copyright infringement under Italian and international law. Ritmo Type reserves the right to take legal action against any infringer, including civil action for damages, injunctive relief, and criminal proceedings where applicable.

Retroactive Licensing

In addition to any legal action, infringers are required to obtain a retroactive license covering all documented unauthorised use, at the applicable license price plus a surcharge of no less than two hundred percent (200%) of that fee. Further charges may apply depending on the nature, gravity, and duration of the infringement, and on the commercial benefit obtained by the infringer.

Third-Party Extension: Cure Before Infringement

Where the Licensee has engaged Authorised Third Parties without the Third-Party Extension described in Section 2, and the Licensee has not previously been notified of such a deficiency, Ritmo Type will on first occurrence offer the Licensee the opportunity to cure the situation by purchasing the Third-Party Extension at list price within thirty (30) days of written notification. Cure within this window resolves the matter without further charge. Failure to cure within the window, or any subsequent engagement of Authorised Third Parties without the Extension following a cure, constitutes infringement and triggers the provisions of this Section 8 in full.

Logo and Wordmark: Cure Before Infringement

Where a logo or wordmark has been produced using the Font Software as its principal typographic element, within the meaning of Section 3, and placed into commercial use by the Licensee without a Special Use License, and the Licensee has not previously been notified of such a deficiency, Ritmo Type will on first occurrence offer the Licensee the opportunity to cure the situation by purchasing the Special Use License at list price within sixty (60) days of written notification. Cure within this window resolves the matter without further charge and permits continued use of the mark.

Where the producing designer, studio, or agency is identifiable, Ritmo Type will send a copy of the notice to that party for operational awareness, without thereby transferring formal responsibility. The Licensee remains the party responsible for obtaining the Special Use License.

Failure to cure within the window, any subsequent adoption of a logo or wordmark using the Font Software as principal typographic element without a Special Use License following a cure, or evidence that the Licensee was aware of the Special Use requirement and deliberately proceeded without it, constitutes infringement and triggers the provisions of this Section 8 in full.

Audit

Where Ritmo Type has a reasonable basis to suspect unlicensed or under-licensed use, it may, upon reasonable written notice and no more than once per calendar year, request that the Licensee provide written confirmation of the Company Size declared at purchase, the domains on which the Font Software is deployed, the follower counts of social-media accounts making use of the Font Software, the presence or absence of a Third-Party Extension, and any other parameters relevant to the applicable license. The Licensee shall cooperate in good faith with any such audit request.

9. Intellectual Property

Ritmo Type, and its licensors where applicable, holds all copyright and other intellectual-property rights in the Font Software, including the designs, letterforms, source code, outlines, metrics, hinting, encoding, and accompanying documentation. This Agreement grants the Licensee a limited right to use the Font Software. No ownership, title, or interest in the Font Software, or in any underlying intellectual property, is transferred to the Licensee.

"Ritmo", "Ritmo Type", and the names of individual Ritmo Type typefaces are trademarks of Ritmo Type. No right to use these marks is granted under this Agreement, except for the factual identification of the typeface used.

While not required, acknowledgement of Ritmo Type in colophons, credits, or project documentation is welcomed and appreciated.

10. Warranty and Liability

Warranty Disclaimer

The Font Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of output, correct character encoding, or compatibility with any specific hardware, software, or operating system. While the Font Software is engineered for major desktop-publishing and web applications, its functionality cannot be guaranteed in all software or contexts.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ritmo Type shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of or inability to use the Font Software, including lost profits, lost data, production failures, or third-party claims. Ritmo Type's total aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the Licensee for the applicable license in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Italian law. Nothing in this Agreement limits the non-waivable rights of Consumers under Italian or EU law.

Indemnification

The Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Ritmo Type from any third-party claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from the Licensee's use of the Font Software in breach of this Agreement.

Trial and Evaluation Copies

These limitations apply equally to all versions of the Font Software, including specimen, preview, trial, and evaluation copies.

11. General Provisions

Assignment

The Licensee may not assign, transfer, or sub-license this Agreement or any rights under it, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Ritmo Type. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of the Licensee's assets, the Licensee shall notify Ritmo Type in writing; Ritmo Type may require the successor entity to acquire a new license reflecting its size and intended use.

Amendments

Ritmo Type may update the general terms of this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or business practice. Any amendment affecting the rights of existing Licensees in a material and adverse manner shall not apply retroactively to licenses already granted, which remain governed by the version of the Agreement in force at the time of purchase or most recent renewal.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the purchase confirmation and any written Special Use, Bespoke, or custom contract, constitutes the complete terms for the use of Ritmo Type Font Software. All prior verbal or written communications regarding the use of the Font Software are superseded by this Agreement.

Severability

The invalidity of any individual provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Any invalid provision shall be replaced by a legally permissible one that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, governmental action, or failure of telecommunications or internet infrastructure.

Notices

Notices to Ritmo Type shall be sent to ciao@ritmotype.com. Notices to the Licensee shall be sent to the email address provided at purchase or most recent renewal. It is the Licensee's responsibility to keep its contact details up to date.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with Italian law and, where applicable, the law of the European Union. Any disputes arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Torino, Italy, save for any non-waivable consumer rights of a Licensee acting as a Consumer under applicable EU or national law.

12. Specific Approval of Onerous Clauses (Art. 1341 and 1342 Italian Civil Code)
