We are honestly trying to make the shopping of our fonts as fair as possible, but sometimes it’s better to agree on some basics so that both sides know what happens when something goes wrong. We have no urge to make you accept something that you might regret later. We just want the best for the security of both parties, now and in the future.

If the delivered item is defective, we may initially choose, with respect to entrepreneurs, whether we will provide supplementary performance by rectifying the defect (repair) or by delivering a nondefective item (replacement delivery), at our discretion.
