Font royalties, divided on every order line.

Royalty shares per typeface

Shares are set per typeface, in percent, to a hundredth of a percent. They can add up to less than 100. A change of terms is a new set of shares with a start date. A sale uses the set in force on its date, so sales made under the old contract keep the old division.

Shares on the order line

When an order is placed, each designer’s share is written to its lines. When it’s paid, a ledger entry is made for each line and designer. The share is taken from the line’s price after any discount and before tax. Payment fees aren’t deducted from it.

Free orders and test orders earn nothing.

Refunds and disputes

A full refund reverses that order’s shares exactly. A partial refund reverses the same fraction of every line, because payment providers don’t say which line a partial refund was for. A dispute reverses the shares when it opens and restores them if you win it.

Royalty statements

A statement is for one designer in one currency, over any run of whole months up to 36, on screen or as a CSV file. Amounts in different currencies are never converted or added together. A sale counts in the month it was paid.

A share that wasn’t recorded at the time of the sale, such as one filled in for an order made before shares were set, is marked as an estimate on the statement.

Paying designers

Typetin reports what each designer is owed. It moves no money to them and doesn’t send them the statement.

Royalty statements start on the Foundry plan. What each plan includes. The royalty records are in the export on every plan.

Royalties on a quote

A quote freezes the typeface’s sets of shares, with their start dates, as they stand when it’s issued. The set that applies is the one in force on the day the buyer pays. How quotes work.
