Disclaimer

This Disclaimer explains, in plain language, what Typealoud ("we," "us," "our") is and is not responsible for. It is part of the legal relationship between us and every visitor to typealoud.com (the "Site"), and should be read together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Typealoud is operated from the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and this Disclaimer is governed by the laws in force in British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province.

1. Font ownership

All fonts featured on the Site remain the property of their original designers and foundries. Typealoud is a discovery and preview interface only. We do not claim ownership of any typeface in the library, and any trademark or trade name displayed on the Site belongs to its respective owner. References to specific foundries are made for identification, education and editorial commentary only.

2. Font licensing is your responsibility

Each font is published by its owner under its own licence. We do our best to surface accurate licence information for each typeface, but the source of truth is always the licence file shipped with the font itself. Before using a font in any commercial, educational or public-facing project, you must read the licence and comply with its terms. If you are unsure whether a particular use is permitted, do not use the font until you have obtained appropriate advice.

Typealoud is not party to any licence between you and a foundry, and we accept no responsibility for your use, misuse or misinterpretation of any font licence.

3. No professional advice

The articles, essays and guides published on the Typealoud blog are opinions and educational material. They do not constitute professional design, branding, accessibility, legal, tax, regulatory or business advice, and they should not be relied upon as such. For high-stakes decisions — including those involving intellectual-property, contract, privacy or accessibility compliance — you should consult a qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction.

Where the blog discusses Canadian law or the law of British Columbia, it does so in general terms only and never as a substitute for advice from a lawyer entitled to practise in that jurisdiction.

4. Accuracy and completeness

We invest real effort in making the catalogue, weight counts, category tags, designer attributions and editorial content as accurate as we can. Typography, however, is a moving target — foundries release new weights, licences change and old links break. We make no warranty or representation that any information on the Site is complete, current or free of errors, and we accept no responsibility for any decision made in reliance on it.

If you spot an error, please tell us via the contact page and we will correct it as soon as reasonably possible.

5. External links

The Site links to outside resources — foundries, tools, blogs, documentation and reference works — when those resources are useful in context. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, their licensing, their security practices or any changes they make after we link to them. Following an outbound link is at your own risk.

6. AI-generated and machine-summarised content

Some editorial content on the Site is produced or assisted by automated tools and reviewed by humans before publication. We use these tools to broaden coverage, not to replace editorial judgement. Where automation introduces an error, we take responsibility for correcting it. We do not authorise the use of our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models without our prior written consent.

7. Endorsements and commercial relationships

Editorial recommendations on the Site reflect our genuine opinions. Where a piece of content is sponsored, commissioned or otherwise produced as part of a commercial relationship, we identify that fact clearly within the content itself. No payment is accepted in exchange for editorial coverage that is presented as independent.

8. No fiduciary or professional relationship

Using the Site, contacting us, subscribing to our updates or downloading a font does not create any fiduciary, agency, solicitor-client, accountant-client, advisor-client or other professional relationship between you and Typealoud. Our responsibility to you is limited to the obligations set out in our Terms of Service and applicable law.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of British Columbia and Canada, Typealoud accepts no liability for any loss or damage — including indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill — arising out of or in connection with your reliance on, or use of, anything on the Site. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited as set out in section 10 of our Terms of Service.

10. Governing law

This Disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province. Any dispute arising out of or relating to it is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia sitting in Vancouver.
