🚫

Ad Blocking or Circumvention

🚫

Illegal Activities

You may not use the Service for any purpose that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation, including but not limited to laws governing export control, data protection, and consumer protection.

We reserve the right to immediately suspend or permanently terminate access to the Service for any user found to be in violation of these prohibited use policies, without prior notice and without liability to us.

06

Intellectual Property

Our Intellectual Property

All content, design elements, user interface, source code, branding, logos, trademarks, service marks, and other materials comprising the PDF to Word Converter website and Service ("Our IP") are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose in accordance with these Terms. This license does not include:

  • Any right to reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of Our IP
  • Any right to distribute, publicly display, or commercially exploit Our IP

Use of these open-source components does not grant you any additional rights to Our IP.

Trademarks

"PDF to Word Converter" and any associated logos or product names are our trademarks or service marks. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission. Unauthorized use of our trademarks may constitute trademark infringement.

07

Your Content & Documents

Ownership of Your Documents

You retain full and complete ownership of all PDF files you convert using the Service, and all resulting Word documents generated from that conversion. We make no claim of ownership, license, or any right over any document, data, or content you process using our Service.

Our Technical Inability to Access Your Files

Because all processing occurs entirely within your browser, we are technically unable to access, view, read, or store your documents. This is not merely a policy commitment — it is an architectural reality of how the Service is built. Your files never leave your device.

Your Responsibility for Content

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • You own the document you are converting, or you hold a valid license or permission to convert it
  • The document does not contain content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, or obscene
  • Your use of the document and the resulting Word file will not violate any applicable law or third-party rights
  • You will not use the Service to process documents that contain malware or harmful code

Your privacy is guaranteed by design. Because we never receive your files, there is no risk of a data breach exposing your documents from our side. What you convert stays on your device, always.

08

Disclaimers & Warranties

No Warranty of Accuracy

We do not warrant that the converted Word document will perfectly replicate the original PDF in all respects. Conversion accuracy depends on the complexity of the source PDF, embedded fonts, and document structure. Complex multi-column layouts, unusual fonts, and scanned pages may convert with reduced fidelity.

No Warranty of Availability

We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or free from errors. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or unforeseen technical issues.

No Warranty of Fitness

We make no warranty that the Service is fit for any particular purpose. It is your responsibility to verify that the converted output meets your requirements before using it professionally.

No Warranty of Security

While we implement industry-standard security measures, we cannot guarantee that our website is completely free from security vulnerabilities. No internet-based service can provide absolute security guarantees.

No Warranty of Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party providers (e.g., Vercel for hosting, Google for analytics). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of these third-party services.

No Warranty of Compatibility

We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all browsers, operating systems, or devices. Certain features (e.g., OCR) may require modern browser versions that support WebAssembly.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you. In such cases, warranties are limited to the minimum required by law.

09

Limitation of Liability

📉
Direct Damages

Loss of data, loss of documents, loss of business opportunities, or costs of procuring substitute services arising from your use of the Service.

🔗
Indirect or Consequential Damages

Loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or any other economic loss, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

🎲
Incidental Damages

Any incidental or special damage, including but not limited to costs of recovery of any data or documents following a conversion failure.

🛑
Service Interruption

Any loss or damage arising from interruption, suspension, or termination of the Service, or inability to access the Service.

Aggregate Liability Cap

In any event, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or relating to your use of the Service, regardless of the form of action, shall not exceed USD $50.00 (fifty United States dollars) — or the amount you have actually paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, whichever is greater. Since the Service is free, this effectively means our maximum liability to you is USD $50.00.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liability for personal injury or certain types of damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PDF to Word Converter, its operators, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from:

  • Your use of or access to the Service in violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights
  • Your conversion of any document you do not have the right to convert
  • Any claim that your use of the Service caused damage to a third party
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.

11

Third-Party Services & Links

Third-Party Service Providers

The Service relies on a number of third-party service providers to function. These include:

Provider Role Their Terms Apply To
Vercel Website hosting and CDN delivery Server access logs, infrastructure performance
Solid Documents Core PDF conversion engine (runs client-side) Technology licensing; no user data is shared
Google Analytics Anonymous website traffic analysis Anonymized usage data collection
Google AdSense Advertisement delivery Ad serving, cookie-based ad targeting
Cloudflare DDoS protection and DNS Network traffic routing, IP processing

External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites or services not operated or controlled by us. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We strongly advise you to review the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

Advertising

The Service displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. These advertisements are provided by third-party advertisers and we have no control over the content of those advertisements. Clicking on advertisements may take you to third-party websites governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those third-party advertisers or their websites.

12

Service Availability & Termination

Availability

We strive to keep the Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and are not liable for any downtime. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

  • Scheduled maintenance and updates
  • Unplanned technical issues or server failures at our hosting provider
  • DDoS attacks or other malicious interference
  • Events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure)

Our Right to Terminate or Restrict Access

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to:

  • Restrict or terminate your access to the Service at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms
  • Modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue the Service or any feature thereof
  • Block IP addresses or geographic regions where required by law or to protect the Service

Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your access to the Service, all rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) shall continue to apply.

Since the Service requires no account, "termination" means we may block your browser or IP from accessing the site. No account deletion or data removal process is required, since we hold no personal data about you.

13

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to the operator of this Service, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are accessing the Service from another jurisdiction, you are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they are applicable.

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, we encourage you to first contact us at contact@pdftoword-converter.com to seek an informal resolution. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute within 30 days of being notified.

Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis only, and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class-wide arbitration or class-wide litigation.

Limitation Period

Any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or relating to your use of the Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it shall be forever barred.

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
