Terms of use

1. Using Inkfolio

Inkfolio is a free personal project run by an independent developer (“we”, “us”). It is provided free of charge and is not a commercial service.

Inkfolio is a free web application for viewing, annotating and editing PDF files. By using it you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. Your files

You keep all rights to the documents you open. Files are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us. You are responsible for having the right to open, edit and share any document you use, and for keeping your own backups.

3. Acceptable use

Do not use Inkfolio to break the law, to infringe the rights of others, to forge or falsify documents, or to attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service in ways that harm other people.

4. Editing and signatures

The “Edit PDF text” tool covers the original text with new text; the original content may remain in the saved file and is not removed or redacted. Signatures added in Inkfolio are images and are not certified digital signatures. You are responsible for checking that the saved document is correct and suitable for its purpose.

5. No warranty

Inkfolio is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that it will be error-free, uninterrupted or compatible with every PDF, or that saved files will be free of differences from the original.

6. Limit of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Inkfolio and its operators are not liable for any loss of data or indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

7. Open-source components and trademarks

Inkfolio includes open-source software under their own licences, listed on the About page. “PDF” is a trademark of Adobe Inc.; Inkfolio is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe or Microsoft.

8. Copyright and content

Inkfolio does not host, store or publish your documents; they stay on your device, so there is no user content on our servers to review or remove. If you believe the Inkfolio website itself infringes your rights, email [email protected] with details and we will look into it promptly.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer law in your country says otherwise.

10. Changes and contact

We may change the service or these terms from time to time; the date above shows the latest version. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
