1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using PDFTools (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you must stop using the Service immediately. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Use License

PDFTools grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:

Use the Service for illegal activities or to violate any laws
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems
Upload malware, viruses, or harmful code
Abuse, harass, or harm other users
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
Sell, resell, or commercialize the Service without permission
Exceed reasonable usage limits (automated bulk processing)

3. Intellectual Property Rights

Our Content: All content on PDFTools, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is owned by or licensed to PDFTools and is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or transmit any content without our written permission.

Your Content: You retain ownership of documents you upload to PDFTools. By using the Service, you grant us permission to process your files to provide the requested service.

No Reuse: We do not retain, analyze, or reuse your documents for any purpose beyond providing the requested processing service.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use PDFTools only for lawful purposes and in a way that doesn't infringe on the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of the Service. Prohibited behavior includes:

Processing documents containing illegal content or content that violates copyright
Using the Service to create malicious, fraudulent, or deceptive documents
Automated scraping or bulk processing that impacts service stability
Unlocking PDFs you do not own or have no legal right to modify
Circumventing security measures or access controls

5. File Processing & Limitations

File Size Limits: We impose file size limits to ensure service stability. Current limits are listed on individual tool pages.

Processing Time: While we aim for instant processing, some operations may take longer depending on file complexity and server load.

Quality: PDFTools provides tools to convert, compress, merge, and edit PDFs. We make reasonable efforts to maintain quality, but we do not guarantee 100% accuracy in all conversions.

Availability: While we strive for 99.9% uptime, PDFTools may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or technical issues. We are not liable for downtime or data loss.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

PDFTools is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantees that:

The Service will be error-free or uninterrupted
Files will be processed correctly 100% of the time
The Service will meet your specific needs
Downloaded files will be virus-free

You use the Service at your own risk. We recommend keeping backups of important documents.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PDFTools shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including loss of data, profit, or goodwill—even if PDFTools has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Service (which is zero for most users). Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so this may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PDFTools, its owners, operators, and employees from any claims, damages, or costs arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to PDFTools at any time without notice if you violate these terms, engage in illegal activity, or abuse the Service. Termination doesn't limit our right to take legal action against you for violations.

10. Third-Party Links

PDFTools may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external sites. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

11. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Your Jurisdiction], and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [Your Jurisdiction].

12. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating legal action, we encourage you to contact us to resolve disputes informally. If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration or court proceedings as permitted by law.
