Frequently asked questions

Payments & Refunds

How can I contact you?

You can contact us anytime at peace@aeiou.tools

How does Aeiou Tools prices and licensing system work?

Our license price system is based on the proposal of the Swiss type foundry ABC Dinamo. It means that the owner of the license should not be the designer or the agency working for him, but the client/company using it for its goods. Therefore, the price of the licenses varies depending on the size of the client/company. You can find more information about our licensing system in our EULA.

Who should be the license owner?

We encourage designers to let their clients purchase licenses, because those who actively use the license should own it. The client should always own the license and the designer should be covered by the license.

Can I share your fonts with third parties?

You may not share purchased products with third parties unless it is specified in the EULA. Please contact us at peace@aeiou.tools whenever you have this need.

Do you have trial fonts?

Of course, you can download the trial versions of the fonts you are interested directly from the font page by clicking the button 'Trials' or trough your personal account. You can find more information about our licensing system in our EULA.

Can I receive a font update?

Of course, after signing up and purchasing, you will have access to your personal account from where you can check the date of the last update of the purchased font and download it again.

Do you offer unlimited or corporate licensing?

Yes, we do offer this kind of service. If you need a license that covers all your needs or a specific license for a large company, don't hesitate to contact us at peace@aeiou.tools.

Do you have a refund policy?

Unfortunately, no. Since these are digital products/software, once you have purchased and downloaded the files, we cannot verify whether you have deleted them or whether they have been lost in any way. Before you purchase our fonts, you agree to our EULA, so we can only offer refunds within the terms set out in the EULA itself. We recommend that you read our End User License Agreement carefully. If you have any problems installing our fonts, we will try to resolve any issues with you. If you have lost the files we recommend you to access your personal account via login and download the purchased order again.

What payment methods do you accept?

Through Stripe we accept several types of payment including credit cards, Visa (credit and debit cards), Mastercard (credit and debit cards), Discover, American Express, Apple Pay & Google Pay. If you have any special needs, you can contact us at peace@aeiou.tools.

Why is my credit card being declined?

Aeiou Tools E-commerce works with the payment processor Stripe, a software infrastructure that enables individuals and businesses to send and receive payments via the Internet. In a nutshell, Stripe handles the payments. For this reason we can't know the reason why a particular card is declined. We suggest you contact your Bank and solve the problem with them if this issue happens.

What is your currency?

All prices listed in our website are in euros (€).

Do you offer discounts?

Our policy is not to add additional discounts to the final price because it is our license pricing calculator that applies coefficients and discounts based on the company size, the number of fonts purchased, and the number of licenses selected.

Can I buy a font from my smartphone?

Yes, you can also make purchases from your smartphone.

What font formats do you provide?

Depends on the type of license purchased. We provide OTF and TTF files for Desktop/Print, App, Social, Advertising, Branding, Streaming and Broadcast licenses. Web fonts are provided in WOFF and WOFF2 files.

How do I use Web fonts on my website?

There are several guides on the web on how to use web fonts, we suggest you follow this one from css-tricks.
If necessary, we will make our detailed guide in the future.

Do you have a newsletter?

We do not have a newsletter right now, although we plan to create one soon. Until then any update or upcoming release will be communicated through @aeiou.tools or through your personal account.
