These are the terms for using PDF Partner, an app from Vision and Beyond Pty Ltd. They are written to be read, so please take a few minutes to look through them.

About these terms

These terms apply when you install or use PDF Partner, an app from Vision and Beyond Pty Ltd ("we", "us"). If you use it for an organisation, you confirm you can agree to these terms for it. If you got the app from the App Store or Google Play, the store's terms also apply to you. Please read our privacy statement as well.

Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use PDF Partner on devices you own or control, for lawful purposes. You must not:

  • copy, modify, rent, sell or share the app, except as the law allows;
  • reverse engineer the app or take it apart, except as the law allows;
  • remove notices from the app; or
  • use it to break the law or someone else's rights.

Free use, ads and Pro

Reading and editing are free. You start with a number of free saves. You can earn more by watching a short ad, within the limits shown in the app. A one-off Pro purchase removes ads and limits.

  • The price is shown in the store before you buy.
  • The App Store or Google Play takes the payment, and refunds are handled under the store's rules.
  • Your purchase is linked to your store account, so you can restore it on another phone that uses the same account.
  • We may change the free allowance, the ads or the price in future versions of the app.

Your documents and your responsibility

Your documents belong to you. You are responsible for having the right to open, change, sign and share them.

  • When you tap Save, PDF Partner replaces the original file after you confirm. Choose Save as to keep the original and make a new copy.
  • Keep your own backup of anything important. We are not responsible for loss caused by a full or faulty phone, a cloud service, or something outside the app.
  • Look over a saved file before you send it on.

Signing and forms

Signatures, initials, dates, ticks and stamps you place are marks on the PDF. They are not certificate-based digital signatures. The rules about electronic signatures differ between countries and between types of document. PDF Partner does not check who you are, give legal advice, or confirm that a document is valid. It is up to you to check that this kind of signature suits what you are doing.

Scanning and text recognition

Pages are straightened and read for text automatically. The result can contain mistakes, so check any text, names or figures that matter.

Using the app properly

Sign only for yourself, or for someone who has authorised you to. Do not use PDF Partner to forge or alter documents to mislead anyone, or to do anything unlawful.

Other people's software and services

PDF Partner includes open-source software, each under its own licence. You can see the list in Help and About, under Open-source licences. Ads and purchases are provided by third parties, and their terms apply to those parts.

Ownership

The app, its name and its design belong to Vision and Beyond Pty Ltd or the people who license them to us. Your documents remain yours.

Our responsibility to you

We aim to make PDF Partner work well, but it is provided as it is, and we cannot promise it will be free of errors or always available. Our goods and services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, and nothing in these terms limits them.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data or documents. Where the law allows us to limit our liability for a failure to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited to supplying the app again, or paying the cost of having it supplied again.

Ending your use

You can stop at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms.

Changes

We may update the app and these terms. When we change the terms, we will update the date at the top of this page. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the updated terms.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia, and the courts of New South Wales can hear any dispute about them.
