Terms of Service

Flipp is an open-source, browser-based document utility toolkit designed around client-side processing. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Flipp website, tools, and associated services.

By accessing or using Flipp, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not access or use the website or tools.

1. Nature of the Service

Flipp provides browser-based utilities to convert, merge, split, compress, protect, unlock, watermark, sign, rearrange, and extract content from PDF files and images.

Flipp is provided free of charge. Core document tools do not require creating a user account, registering personal credentials, or entering payment information.

2. Open-Source License and Warranty Disclaimer

Flipp is open-source software licensed under the MIT License (Copyright © 2026 Aman Modi). The website and software code are provided subject to the following condition and disclaimer from the official license:

Flipp incorporates third-party open-source libraries—including PDF.js, pdf-lib, jsPDF, JSZip, and Tesseract.js—each operating under their respective open-source licenses (such as the Apache License 2.0 and the MIT License).

3. Client-Side Processing and Document Ownership

Flipp is engineered as a client-side application. When you select, view, edit, or convert documents through Flipp's tools, file processing is executed locally within your web browser using HTML5, Web Workers, and WebAssembly APIs.

Your files are not intentionally uploaded to, stored on, or processed by a remote Flipp application server during core tool operations.

Document Ownership: You retain full ownership, copyright, and all other rights in the files and documents you process with Flipp. Flipp claims no intellectual property rights or ownership interest in any user documents, images, or extracted content.

4. User Responsibilities and Acceptable Use

You agree to use Flipp in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. When using the service, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Authorization: You possess the necessary rights, ownership, licenses, or authorizations to manipulate, convert, annotate, extract from, or sign the documents and files you select.
• Backups: You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backup copies of your original files before processing them. Because transformations occur in temporary browser memory, Flipp cannot recover lost, corrupted, or overwritten files.
• Device and Browser Security: Client-side execution relies on your local computing environment. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, operating system, browser, and installed browser extensions.
• Lawful Use: You will not use Flipp to process files in violation of third-party copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, or other legal obligations.

5. Tool Operational Boundaries and Disclaimers

To avoid misunderstandings about technical capabilities, please note the following tool boundaries:

• Sign PDF (Visual Signatures): Flipp's Sign PDF tool allows users to place a visual signature drawing onto a PDF. This visual overlay does not constitute a cryptographic digital signature, certificate-based signature, electronic signature verification service, or identity-verification platform. Users are responsible for determining whether a visual signature meets the legal and regulatory requirements for their specific jurisdiction or contract.
• Password Protection and Unlocking: Protect PDF and Unlock PDF features apply and remove supported standard PDF restrictions locally in your browser based on PDF specification standards. They do not provide unbreakable security guarantees, and Flipp cannot retrieve or reset forgotten passwords.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Text Extraction: Client-side text extraction and OCR (powered by Tesseract.js) are dependent on the resolution, font encoding, language complexity, and visual quality of the input document. Output accuracy may vary, and text conversion results are provided without guarantee of complete typographical accuracy.

6. Availability and Changes to the Service

Flipp is deployed as a static web application hosted on third-party cloud infrastructure (such as Cloudflare Pages). We do not warrant that access to the website or tools will be uninterrupted, continuous, timely, or error-free.

We reserve the right to modify, update, enhance, or discontinue any feature, tool, or aspect of the service at any time without prior notice.

7. Privacy Policy Reference

For comprehensive information regarding how Flipp handles file data, browser memory, technical hosting requests, and analytics, please review our Privacy Policy, which describes our technical privacy architecture.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect modifications in our software, features, or operational practices. The "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this page indicates the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of Flipp after updated Terms are published constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
