Terms and Conditions

Welcome to our website! These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the services, tools, and features offered on this website ("Service"). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Our Service provides a suite of free, online tools for document management, primarily focused on PDF files. These tools include, but are not limited to, converting, merging, compressing, editing, and signing documents ("Tools"). The Service is provided free of charge and is accessible directly through your web browser without the need for registration or software installation.

3. Privacy and Data Security

Our Core Privacy Commitment

Your privacy is our highest priority. Our Service is built on a "privacy-first" architecture. Unlike many other online tools, our Service performs all file processing directly within your web browser on your own computer (client-side processing).

• No File Uploads: Your files are NEVER uploaded to, processed on, or stored on our servers. They do not leave your device.
• No Data Collection: We do not inspect, copy, or analyze the content of your files in any way. We have no access to your documents or the data they contain.
• Session-Based: All processing is done for the current session. Once you close your browser tab, the session ends, and no data is retained.

Because of this client-side processing model, you can use our Tools with the complete confidence that your sensitive and confidential information remains private.

4. User Responsibilities and Conduct

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You are solely responsible for the content of the files you process using our Tools. You agree not to use the Service to:

• Process any material that is illegal, defamatory, abusive, harassing, or infringes on the intellectual property rights of others.
• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law.
• Distribute viruses, malware, or any other computer code that may harm or disrupt the functionality of any computer software or hardware.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise discover the source code of our Tools.

You acknowledge that you own the files you process or have the necessary legal rights and permissions to use and modify them.

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We make no warranty that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. The use of our Tools is done at your own discretion and risk, and you are solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that may result.

7. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Toolh.net, its owners, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary loss or damages which may be incurred by you as a result of using our Service, or as a result of any changes, data loss or corruption, cancellation, loss of access, or downtime.

8. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will do our best to notify users of any significant changes, but it is your responsibility to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Service after any modifications to the Terms will constitute your acknowledgment and agreement to the modified Terms.
