Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Small-PDF.pro ("Website," "Service," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all provisions of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Service.

2. Nature of the Service

Small-PDF.pro provides free, browser-based document conversion, formatting, and redaction utilities. The Service operates primarily on client-side WebAssembly and JavaScript frameworks. All file conversions take place locally on the user's computing device without server file uploads.

3. User Ownership of Content

You retain 100% of all rights, title, and interest in and to any images, documents, photographs, or text files that you process using Small-PDF.pro. Because our tools execute purely inside your browser memory and never upload files to our servers, we claim zero copyright, ownership, license, or distribution rights over your content.

4. Permitted and Lawful Use

You agree to use Small-PDF.pro solely for lawful personal, educational, or commercial purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the Service to forge, falsify, or tamper with legal certificates, government identification documents, or contracts;
• Use our watermark removal or redaction tools to strip copyright management notices or proprietary watermarks without lawful authorization from the copyright holder;
• Deploy automated scrapers, bots, or spiders that cause denial of service or place unreasonable bandwidth loads on our web servers;
• Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with security features of the Website;
• Use the Website to distribute malicious code, trojans, or ransomware.

5. Intellectual Property Rights of Small-PDF.pro

The Website design, visual styling, source code, logos, trademarks, and original written blog articles are the proprietary property of Small-PDF.pro and are protected under international copyright and trademark laws. Third-party open-source libraries (`jsPDF`, `pdf-lib`, `pdf.js`, `heic2any`) are licensed under their respective MIT and Apache 2.0 open-source licenses.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONVERTED DOCUMENTS WILL RENDER IDENTICALLY ACROSS ALL THIRD-PARTY HARDWARE AND PRINTERS.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SMALL-PDF.PRO, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

8. DMCA and Copyright Infringement Notifications

Small-PDF.pro respects the intellectual property rights of others. Because our tools run client-side and store no files on our servers, we do not host user content. However, if you believe that any editorial guide, article, or asset hosted on this Website infringes your copyright, please submit a written notice to our designated Copyright Agent:

9. Termination and Modification

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
