WorkWithPDF is a local-first PDF toolset. The defining characteristic of this service — and the basis on which these Terms are written — is that all document processing occurs inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.
1. Agreement
By accessing or using WorkWithPDF at workwithpdf.io (“the Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. The Service is operated by Stipple AI Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited company (“we”, “us”, “our”).
2. How the Service Works
WorkWithPDF provides PDF processing tools that run entirely within your web browser using WebAssembly and Web Workers. When you use a tool, your document is loaded into your browser's local memory, processed on your device, and the result is returned directly to you as a download. No file content, page data, or document metadata is transmitted to our servers at any point during this process.
This architecture is fundamental to the Service. It means:
- We cannot access, read, or recover your documents
- We cannot be compelled to produce your documents in legal proceedings because we do not hold them
- Your documents remain subject only to your own jurisdiction and data policies
- Processing does not require a network connection once the page has loaded
3. Licence Tiers
3.1 Core Tools (Free)
Free access to core PDF tools is provided without an account, limited to 3 documents per device ID. The device ID is a random identifier stored locally in your browser and is never associated with your identity on our servers.
3.2 Individual (Paid)
A one-time payment grants you a perpetual, personal, non-transferable licence to use all current and future Individual-tier features. This licence is tied to your account email. It does not expire.
3.3 Enterprise
Enterprise licensing is governed by a separate agreement negotiated between Stipple AI Pty Ltd and your organisation. Contact us at gaurav@stipple.sh to discuss terms.
4. Your Responsibilities
Because your files never leave your device, you are solely responsible for:
- Ensuring you have the right to process any document you use with the Service
- Compliance with any legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations governing your documents
- The security of your own device and local storage
- Maintaining backups of your original documents
5. Acceptable Use
You must not use the Service to:
- Process documents you do not have the right to access or modify
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with the device-ID limit or any access control
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service
- Redistribute, resell, or sublicense access to the Service without written permission
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law
6. Intellectual Property
The software, design, trademarks, and all other content comprising the Service are owned by Stipple AI Pty Ltd or its licensors. You receive a limited, non-exclusive licence to use the Service as described in these Terms. No other rights are granted. Your documents remain entirely your own — we claim no rights over any content you process.
7. Privacy and Data
Our Privacy Policy explains in full what limited personal data we collect (primarily your email and payment record) and how we use it. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
8. Payments and Refunds
Payments for Individual licences are processed by a third-party payment provider. All prices are in USD. We offer a 14-day refund if the Service does not function as described — contact gaurav@stipple.sh with your order details. After 14 days, payments are non-refundable given the lifetime nature of the licence.
9. No Warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR PRODUCE RESULTS IDENTICAL TO OTHER PDF TOOLS. PDF PROCESSING IS PERFORMED LOCALLY ON YOUR DEVICE; OUTPUT QUALITY DEPENDS ON YOUR BROWSER, HARDWARE, AND INPUT FILE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL OUTPUTS BEFORE RELYING ON THEM.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STIPPLE AI PTY LTD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA OR DOCUMENTS. BECAUSE PROCESSING OCCURS ON YOUR DEVICE, WE HAVE NO ABILITY TO RECOVER DOCUMENTS ON YOUR BEHALF. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100 AUD, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify Stipple AI Pty Ltd from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your documents, or your breach of these Terms.
12. Third-Party Services
The Service uses Clerk for authentication and a third-party payment processor. Neither service receives your document content. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these Terms. Because your documents are stored only on your device, termination of your account does not result in any loss of your files. Individual licence holders who are terminated for reasons other than breach may request a pro-rata refund.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We will post changes at workwithpdf.io/legal/terms with a new effective date and notify registered users by email for material changes.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, those laws apply in addition to these Terms.
