These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of PrivaPDF ("the Software"), provided by Emerging AI LLC ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. Purchases are processed by Paddle (paddle.com), our Merchant of Record.
1. License Grant
PrivaPDF is offered under two tiers:
- Free Tier: A limited free tier with usage caps displayed inside the application.
- Paid Tier (Lifetime): A one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited PDF processing, with lifetime updates. The purchase price and any then-current terms are shown at checkout. Your purchase email acts as your license identifier — there is no separate license key to store.
Each license is granted on a per-user, non-transferable basis and activates on the number of devices stated at the time of purchase (currently one). Transfers or re-activations are handled by contacting support. You may not share your activation with others.
2. Acceptable Use
You agree to use PrivaPDF only for lawful purposes. You may not:
- Use the Software to process documents you do not have the right to access or modify
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software
- Attempt to circumvent license validation or usage limits
- Redistribute the Software or any part of it without written permission
3. Limitation of Liability
Important — Please Read Carefully:
PrivaPDF uses automated detection techniques to identify personally identifiable information (PII) in PDF documents. While we strive for accurate detection:
- We do NOT guarantee 100% detection of all PII. Some PII may be missed due to formatting, encoding, or patterns not covered by our detection rules.
- We do NOT guarantee zero false positives. Some non-PII content may be flagged for redaction.
- You MUST manually review all redactions before distributing or publishing redacted documents.
- PrivaPDF is NOT a substitute for professional legal, compliance, or privacy review.
- Redactions are permanent. Once applied, redacted content cannot be recovered. Always keep a copy of the original document.
In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the use of the Software, including but not limited to damages arising from missed PII, false positives, or data loss.
4. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. We make no warranty that the Software will meet your specific requirements or that its operation will be uninterrupted or error-free.
5. Termination
- Your license may be terminated if you violate these Terms.
- If your license is revoked or you receive a refund, you will revert to the Free Tier.
- You may stop using the Software at any time by uninstalling it.
6. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
