Effective Date: September 28, 2026
Welcome to 4ory! By accessing or using our website located at https://4ory.com and its associated services, tools, and applications, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue the use of our website immediately.
1. Description of Service
4ory provides web-based tools designed to process, convert, edit, merge, split, compress, and manipulate PDF documents and related file formats. The service is provided online through your web browser without requiring permanent software installation.
2. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree to use 4ory only for lawful purposes. When using our services, you agree NOT to:
- Upload, process, or distribute any files that contain malware, viruses, trojans, or harmful computer code.
- Upload documents that violate third-party copyright, trademark, trade secret, or intellectual property rights.
- Use automated scripts, bots, scrapers, or tools to overload, flood, or disrupt our server infrastructure.
- Process files containing illegal material, hate speech, or content that promotes violence or unlawful activities.
- Attempt to bypass rate limits, server security controls, or authentication barriers.
3. File Ownership & Content Responsibility
- Your Ownership: 4ory claims zero ownership or intellectual property rights over any document, file, or image you upload to our servers. Your content remains strictly yours.
- Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the content of the files you process and for keeping secure local backups of your original documents.
- Automated Processing: All file conversions and edits are performed by automated system scripts. No manual human review of your files takes place.

4ory is a real-time document processing tool, not a permanent file storage provider:
- Processed files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 1 hour.
- Once deleted, files cannot be recovered or restored under any circumstances.
- We strongly advise downloading your processed files immediately after tool completion.
5. Fair Use & Limitations
To ensure high availability and fast processing speeds for all global users, 4ory enforces reasonable rate limits and file size caps. We reserve the right to restrict access, reduce bandwidth, or temporarily block IP addresses that attempt abuse or excessive server resource consumption.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
4ory and all its tools are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that:
- The service will meet your specific technical or accuracy requirements.
- The service will be uninterrupted, timely, completely error-free, or secure.
- The output generated by conversion or editing tools will retain 100% exact formatting across all file variations.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 4ory, its operators, or affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of your use of or inability to use our services, including but not limited to loss of data, corrupted documents, or business interruption.
8. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be published directly on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of 4ory after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
