You have licensed rights in this Agreement that may be subject to certain limitations in volume, such as, the number of Licensed Monotype Fonts Users, Licensed Desktop Users, Applications, Registered Users, Commercial Electronic Documents, Servers, Page Views, and/or Impressions. You are obligated to maintain records with respect to your Use of the Font Software against such licensed amounts and Monotype has the right to ask you, from time to time, to provide information regarding such Use amounts, which you shall provide to us within 30 days of our request.
