Font Licensing Disclaimer

Two ways to use fonts
Chablon lets you style text using two kinds of fonts: fonts picked from the built-in Google Fonts catalogue, and custom font files you upload yourself as brand fonts.
Google Fonts
Fonts selected from the Google Fonts catalogue are provided under their own open-source licenses (typically the SIL Open Font License or Apache License). These are freely licensed for use in projects, including commercial ones, under the terms published by Google Fonts.
Uploaded fonts
Custom font files you upload to Chablon are not vetted, reviewed, or licensed by us in any way. Most fonts are commercial products, and most font files carry licensing restrictions on how, where, and by whom they may be used or distributed.
Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for ensuring you hold the appropriate license to use and upload any font file to Chablon.
Before uploading a font, confirm that your license permits uploading it to a third-party tool, and using it for your intended purpose (personal, internal, commercial, or otherwise). You are also responsible for how many people can use the font through Chablon. This includes members you invite to the project as well as anyone who gains access through a shared workspace link or embedded iFrame. Make sure your license covers that number of users.
What we do
Uploaded font files are stored securely and are only used within the workspace(s) they were uploaded to. Workspace access does not include any way to download the original font files through our interface — fonts can only be applied to text in images, videos and PDFs produced from the workspace.
What we don't do
Chablon does not verify, audit, or guarantee the licensing status of any font you upload. We do not claim any ownership or rights over fonts you upload — they remain your responsibility and, where applicable, the property of their original creators or vendors.
Disclaimer of liability
We disclaim any and all liability arising from fonts uploaded by users, including claims related to copyright infringement or breach of a font's license terms. By uploading a font to Chablon, you agree that you have the necessary rights to do so and that you accept full responsibility for that font's use.
Questions
If you're unsure whether your font license covers uploading to a tool like Chablon, check with the font's vendor or foundry before uploading. Questions about this policy can be sent to info@chablon.app.
