pdfsanitize.com is operated by PDFSanitize (“we”, “us”). These terms apply when you use the site, its free PDF tools and PDFSanitize Pro. By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
The tools
PDFSanitize provides PDF tools that run in your browser. The free tools handle one PDF at a time; PDFSanitize Proapplies the same cleaning to many files at once. The tools are provided as is, without a guarantee that they'll work for every file or be available at all times. The Disclaimer explains the limits in more detail.
What the tools do, and their limits
- Each tool inspects, edits, removes, flattens or redacts only what its own page describes, and re-checks the copy it creates. Where it can't confirm something, it says so instead of reporting success.
- A result with nothing found only covers what that tool checks. It doesn't mean a document contains no other information.
- The tools don't guarantee legal compliance (for example with data-protection, disclosure or records rules) and don't guarantee complete anonymity: text in the pages themselves, images, file names and other context can still identify people.
- PDF/A conformance is not validated. Changing a PDF/A file can remove its PDF/A identification, and the tools tell you when that happens.
- Existing digital signatures may become invalid after any modification, because creating a changed copy rebuilds the PDF. The tools warn before changing a signed file.
- Password-protected and other encrypted PDFs aren't supported.
Your responsibilities
- Only use the tools on files you're allowed to process.
- Keep your original file, and review important outputs before relying on them or sharing them.
- Don't rely on the tools as your only safeguard for sensitive, legal or regulated documents.
- Don't misuse the site: don't try to disrupt or overload it, get around the license check, or use it for anything unlawful.
PDFSanitize Pro purchases
- PDFSanitize Pro is a one-time purchase with lifetime access to the version and updates we provide, not a subscription. Payment is processed by Dodo Payments, the merchant of record, whose checkout terms apply to the payment itself. Prices are shown before you pay; taxes may be added at checkout depending on where you are.
- Purchases can be refunded within 7 days as described in the Refund Policy.
- If a payment is reversed, refunded or charged back, the license key for that order is disabled.
Your license
- A license lets you, or one person in your organisation, use PDFSanitize Pro in your own browsers and devices. It is not transferable.
- Keep your license key private: anyone with the key can activate the app. Don't share, publish or resell it. We may disable a key that has been shared publicly or was obtained fraudulently.
- If you lose your key, use “Forgot your license key?” on the PDFSanitize Pro page to get it by email again.
Your files and our content
Your files remain yours. They're processed in your browser and never uploaded to us, so we don't receive any rights to them. The site, its design, text, screenshots and the PDFSanitize name and logo belong to us; you may not copy or reuse them except as the law allows. How we handle personal information is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, PDFSanitize isn't responsible for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses that result from relying on the tools' results without reviewing them. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim related to the site or PDFSanitize Pro is limited to the amount you paid us for PDFSanitize Pro. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that can't legally be limited, including rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
Changes and availability
We may update the tools, add or remove features, and update these terms as the site changes. The date above shows when they last changed. Changes don't take away what you've already paid for.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India. If you're a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may also bring a claim there.
