I purchased this theme and encountered an issue regarding font licensing. I was contacted by a company called Fontradar, requesting a payment of $240 for using a font that is not free. Unfortunately, the theme author chose to incorporate a licensed font, which has led to this issue.
When I reached out to the author for clarification, they denied using any licensed font and suggested that I am responsible for acquiring any necessary licenses. However, upon further inspection of the files I downloaded, it appears that the font used is indeed a licensed one.
I am considering taking legal action, such as filing a small claims court case against the author. In the meantime, I have contacted ThemeForest to inquire about the situation and await their response.
This is an unfortunate situation, and I would not recommend this theme to others. As it's concerning to think there may be other potential licensing issues, whether with the code or images included in the theme.
Author response
Could you please clarify which font you are currently using on your website?
Our theme includes only free fonts, and all the fonts we provide are licensed for free commercial use. If you are using a different font that is not included in our theme, it may require a separate license.
