To charge the Licensee with any compensation for the non-authorized use of the Fonts;
To impose to the Licensee any remedy it shall seem necessary to warrant a use of the Fonts which complies with the EULA License;

either immediately, in case of irremediable breach by the Licensee, in which case the termination shall take effect in full law at the date the formal notice stating the breach is sent by registered letter, or where applicable international register letter, with acknowledgement of receipt.
Irremediable breach by the Licensee shall include:
infringement by the Licensee of the Licensor’s intellectual property rights;
the repetition by the Licensee of a breach which were already notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
The above remedies are without prejudice of any damages that could be claimed to the Licensee for the infringement of the Fonts, as well as the payment by the Licensee of all the costs exposed by the Licensor, including lawyer’s fees and bailiff’s charges, for purposes of putting an end to the breaches by the Licensee of its obligations under the EULA License.
The Licensor makes no warranty or representation, whether express or implied, other than those expressly set out in the EULA License, on the Fonts and the Font Software which are provided “AS IS” to the Licensee. In that respect, the Licensor does not warrant the Licensee (i) that the Font Software, which is subject to constant research to improve their performance and progress, will be totally free of errors, faults or defects, (ii) that the Fonts shall specifically meet the Licensee’s needs or expectations.
In the same way, the Licensor shall not be held liable in case of momentary difficulty or impossibility to use the Font Software and/or the Fonts which is caused by circumstances being outside the Licensor 's control or by force majeure.
