Using FontReport
FontReport is operated by FontReport Pty Ltd (ABN: 19 696 131 709). By accessing or using FontReport, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the service.
These terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use and protect your personal information.
What FontReport Does
FontReport is a website analysis tool that scans websites to identify font usage. It works by fetching HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to detect font references, analysing static content and following stylesheet imports to build a picture of font usage across scanned pages.
FontReport is designed to help you identify and narrow down which fonts on your website may require licensing attention. It is a screening and analysis tool that assists with font discovery – not a legal compliance service, and not a substitute for professional legal advice. You are responsible for verifying your own font licensing obligations and ensuring compliance.
Important Limitations
FontReport provides thorough font detection, but no automated scanning tool can guarantee detection of every font on a website. Font detection depends on many technical factors, some of which are outside our control. Known limitations include:
- JavaScript-dependent fonts: FontReport analyses JavaScript files for common font loading patterns (including CSS-in-JS, font file URLs, Google Fonts references, and WebFont Loader calls). However, fonts loaded programmatically at runtime – such as those fetched from an API, constructed dynamically, or referenced by identifiers rather than readable font names – may not be detected
- No browser rendering: FontReport analyses the static source code of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files – it does not execute JavaScript or render pages in a browser engine. In rare cases, fonts that are loaded entirely through client-side rendering (for example, a single-page application that fetches all page content and font references from an API after the page loads) may not be captured
- Page scanning limits: Only the pages actually scanned are analysed. Large websites with hundreds or thousands of pages may not be fully covered in a single scan. FontReport provides generous time allowances that increase with the number of pages requested – however, exceptionally slow-responding sites may not complete within the allowed time. If this occurs, the scan report will clearly indicate that it was stopped early and that additional pages may exist
- Dynamic content: Content that loads after the initial page render (such as lazy-loaded sections, AJAX-driven content, or content injected by third-party scripts) may not be captured
- Server-side restrictions: Some web servers may block, throttle, or limit automated requests, or serve different content to automated tools than to regular browsers, preventing FontReport from fully accessing page content or font files
- Access restrictions: Password-protected areas, paywalled content, CAPTCHA-protected pages, or pages behind login walls cannot be scanned. Where security challenges are encountered mid-scan, individual pages may be silently skipped
- robots.txt restrictions: FontReport respects robots.txt directives. If a website's robots.txt file blocks automated crawling, FontReport will not scan the site
- Document formats: FontReport does not scan fonts within PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, or other downloadable file formats
- Embedded media: Fonts rendered within SVG elements, HTML canvas elements, images, or cross-origin iframes are not detected
- Orphaned font files: FontReport detects fonts that are actively referenced in your website's code. Font files that exist on your server but are no longer referenced in any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript will not be detected
- Unusual font implementations: Fonts embedded through non-standard methods, obfuscated code, or proprietary delivery mechanisms may not be identified
FontReport is continually being improved to detect fonts delivered through a wider range of methods, but due to the inherent variability of web technologies, complete detection cannot be guaranteed for every website configuration.
Your Responsibility
FontReport provides information to help you review and understand your font usage. However, you are solely responsible for your own font licensing obligations at all times.
In particular:
- You are responsible for ensuring you hold proper licences for all fonts you use, regardless of whether FontReport detects them
- FontReport scan results are provided as an aid to font discovery – they do not constitute a complete or definitive audit of your font usage
- You should verify the completeness of scan results independently and not rely solely on FontReport for licensing compliance decisions
- FontReport's analysis does not constitute legal advice. If you require legal advice regarding font licensing, you should consult a qualified legal professional
- The final responsibility for font licensing compliance remains with you. FontReport does not accept any liability for fonts that are not detected, or for any licensing disputes, claims, or litigation arising from your use of fonts on your website
- You are responsible for keeping your payment keys secure and not sharing them with unauthorised parties
- You agree to use FontReport features only for your own legitimate font analysis needs
- You should only scan websites that you own or have explicit permission to analyse
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any consumer rights or guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2). If you are a consumer as defined under the Australian Consumer Law, you may have certain rights and remedies (including consumer guarantee rights) that cannot be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by law, our liability for breach of any consumer guarantee that cannot be excluded is limited, at our option, to:
- Supplying the services again; or
- Paying the cost of having the services supplied again
Subject to your consumer guarantee rights, FontReport is provided without any express warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of scan results. The service may miss fonts, provide incomplete information, or occasionally produce incorrect results due to the technical limitations described above.
Limitation of Liability
FontReport is not liable for any font licensing disputes, claims, demands, or litigation arising from your use of fonts on your website, whether or not those fonts were detected by FontReport. This includes, but is not limited to, claims from font foundries, type designers, licensing bodies, or any other third party.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FontReport and its operators exclude all liability for:
- Any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage
- Loss of profit, revenue, data, or business opportunity
- Business decisions made in reliance on scan results
- Incomplete font detection or inaccurate scan results
- Issues related to payment processing or scan pack access
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to your use of FontReport is limited to the total amount you have paid to FontReport for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.
This limitation of liability applies to the fullest extent permitted by law, and does not limit or exclude liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law.

All payments are processed securely by Stripe. FontReport does not store payment card information. Enterprise customers may also pay by alternative methods such as bank transfer or invoice.
Access to paid features requires a valid payment key. Keys are delivered via email and must be kept secure. Lost or shared keys cannot be replaced without verification of purchase.
When you purchase additional credits before your existing credits expire, unused non-expired credits are combined with your new credits and the expiry date extends from the date of your new purchase.
Refunds
If you are dissatisfied with the service, you may request a pro-rata refund for any unused scan credits remaining on your account. Refund requests should be made by contacting us at hello@fontreport.com.
If you believe a scan report contains errors or faults, please contact us and we will seek to investigate and rectify the issue. Where a report is confirmed to be materially faulty due to a defect in our service, we will credit your account with equivalent scan credits at no additional cost.
These refund terms do not limit or exclude any remedies available to you under the Australian Consumer Law.
Fair Use
Please use FontReport reasonably. Excessive scanning, attempts to overload the service, automated access outside of approved integrations, or sharing of payment keys may result in temporary or permanent access restrictions. Rate limits apply to both free and paid users to ensure service availability for all users.

Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tasmania, Australia. Both parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tasmania and any courts that may hear appeals from those courts.

Neither party may commence legal proceedings in relation to a dispute until they have complied with this informal resolution process, except where urgent interlocutory relief is required.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

We may update these terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify affected users (for example, by posting a notice on our website or emailing customers with active scan packs). Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Your continued use of FontReport after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the service and may request a pro-rata refund for any unused credits.
