Terms of Service

Effective Date & Last Updated: November 4, 2026

Important Notice on Font Licensing & Intellectual Property

FontVary (fontvary.com) is an educational, analytical, and developer utility. We do not host, sell, pirate, or distribute commercial proprietary font binaries. All recommended free alternatives are licensed independently by their creators under the SIL Open Font License (OFL) or Apache 2.0.

1.Acceptance of Agreement

By visiting, accessing, or using FontVary (fontvary.com, accessible via web browsers and developer API endpoints), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these terms, you must not use or access our platform.

2.Description of Platform Services

FontVary provides the following tools and capabilities:

  • Website Font Finder: Automated extraction of CSS font-family stacks and typography metrics from publicly accessible web URLs.
  • Image Font Detector: Multimodal visual AI analysis to recognize typefaces displayed in raster screenshots, banners, and logos.
  • Typography Playground & Generator: Interactive browser-based specimen rendering, variable weight customization, and CSS rule export.
  • Font Pair Recommendations & Comparison: Curated harmonic typography pairs and side-by-side character glyph inspections.
  • Developer REST API: Programmatic access to font recognition and analysis endpoints at fontvary.com/api.

3.Intellectual Property & Trademarks

All trademarks, product names, foundry brand names, and logos appearing within our identification results (such as Helvetica, Proxima Nova, Gotham, etc.) are the property of their respective trademark owners. FontVary (fontvary.com) is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by these third-party foundries.

The software, design interface, user experience, computer algorithms, and aggregated dataset indexing of FontVary are protected by intellectual property laws. You agree not to copy, duplicate, reverse engineer, or decompile any portion of our codebase without explicit written consent.

4.Acceptable Use Standards

When using FontVary (fontvary.com), you agree not to:

• Upload unlawful, infringing, libelous, defamatory, or harmful visual content.

• Attempt to overwhelm, disrupt, or execute denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on our servers.

• Circumvent rate limiting thresholds or use automated headless scrapers without a valid Developer API key.

• Misrepresent font similarity recommendations as binding legal certification of copyright non-infringement.

5.Accuracy of Font Identification & Heuristic Estimates

While our neural models strive for high accuracy, font recognition from raster images is inherently heuristic. Factors such as low resolution, kerning distortion, perspective skew, and glyph modifications can affect results.

Similarity percentages (e.g. "98% Match") are algorithmic confidence metrics and do not constitute an official declaration that two typefaces are identical in legal typeface design patents.

6.Developer API Usage

Developers utilizing our API must adhere to published rate limits. We reserve the right to throttle or suspend API keys demonstrating abusive request patterns, unauthenticated brute-force queries, or terms violations.

7.Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Under no legal theory shall FontVary (fontvary.com), its directors, or its software engineers be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages arising from font licensing disputes or website typography rendering differences.

8.Governing Law & Contact

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
